By Jean-Francois Panisset -
I do most of my work from a Mac laptop, with Windows 7 inside VMWare
Fusion for Windows-centric stuff. And since Java stuff (typically
switch and storage configuration GUIs) never seems to work on the Mac
side, I've been typically doing that from the Windows side (run
anywhere, right?). But for the last little while, trying to bring up a
Java 7 app causes the Windows 7 guest to crash, which is very
annoying.
According to:
http://communities.vmware.com/message/2167635
the solution is either to go back to Java 5 (ugh) or to disable 3D
acceleration (not great either, but then again I don't do anything
graphics intensive in my VM). I was able to verify that disabling 3D
acceleration works for me (MBP 15" Retina).
Anyway, just figured that there are probably others on this list who
need to run Java-based apps inside of VMWare Fusion so I thought I
would share...
