I see this too on version 0.2 of the launcher, with Mac Os 10.5.8. I was wondering, is there was any way to revert to launcher version 0.0, which I was able to use?

I also see identical behaviour when I manually use the Linux jar. I'm using the latest Java available on Mac OS 10.5.8; I cannot update it any further AFAIK.

My Java preferences are set to try Java SE6 64bit 1.6.0_26-b03-384 first, then J2SE 5 64bit 1.5.0_30-b03, then the 32bit J2SE 5. The game currently reports usings 1.6.0 when it runs, but using the 1.5.0/64 instead makes no discernible difference.

Trying the .jar from the terminal, the output messages end with the following error:

From the Mac launcher behaviour the last few lines are left out, presuably because they're trapped and stored elsewhere.

And it all worked with Launcher 0.0 and I could play and everything!

This has just been duped by #14241, but the latter report has a clearer description.

This ticket has been marked as a duplicate of MC-14241, in favor of the better description/information provided.
