[scilab-Users] scilab on mac osx

[Sam Mathew]

May be the following message from Sylvestre answers your problem. It's
nothing you can do for some time to come. Scilab won't work on MacOS X .
They're working on it to fix it.

Unfortunately, Apple did a massive refactoring of the Java packaging.
While doing so, they broke a component Scilab is based on (which
explains why Scilab used to work under Mac OS X 10.5).
We opened a bug report on the Apple bug tracker but we haven't hear back
since then.

For the technical explanation, see:
http://lists.apple.com/archives/Java-dev/2011/Feb/msg00083.html
One of Apple engineer replied privately:
"yeah, I think it is a bug, please report it, and if it's not a bug,
we'll get back to you quickly ... but it sounds like a bug."
