Minecraft on OSX doesnt work (I know the fix)

Please do not mark issues as private, unless your bug report is a security issue containing information that may compromise your server/client.

The issue is that Java 7 is bugged on the mac, so you must launch with Java 6

Hey smartypants Alex, READ THE WHOLE REPORT! And you will see it is in Java 6 environment!!! And it is fixed by mojang, just redownload now!

Redownload the dmg.

it is not fixed, I ran as java 6 with a terminal command, and retried downloading the DMG, as well as deleting the minecraft folder. Does not work. client gets stuck at:
Client> java.lang.StringIndexOutOfBoundsException: String index out of range: -1

Dinnerbone, I sent you a message on twitter, please respond to it

Forward resolving to reopened MCL-178

Why is this a duplicate?

Because MCL-178 was marked fixed.

But MCL-178 has nothing to do with this (And its invalid as I see)... Even Dinnerbone commented here it was fixed 😉 (Look up in comments)

That was a typo. I meant MCL-174 (link is correct, but comment was wrong...)
