problems installing MPS plugin in OS X Tiger Follow
Hi
Anybody using MPS on OS X Tiger?
When I try to install the MPS plugin I get a message 'Plugin isn't installed. Shut down IntelliJ IDEA and try again'
By the way, in case it is related to the problem, after I start mps using mps.sh, I see the log entry
ERROR - s.reloading.ClassLoaderManager - Can't find rt.jar. Make sure you are using JDK 5.0
in my console, even though my default JVM is jdk5.

What directory did you choose for plugin? We had problem before when you
can't choose IDEA directory in chooser dialog. In this case you can
extract contents of archive in %MPS_HOME%/plugin to
%IDEA_HOME/plugins/MPSPlugin
If you run MPS on JDK other than JDK5.0 it will fail so i think problem
isn't in JDK. I think structure of jars on MacOS is different than on
Windows. We need rt.jar because most used java classes are placed in it
and without it you couldn't write the simplest language tutorial which
requires such classes as System, String. As a workaround for this
problem you can add jar in project paths (Icon with tool -> Project Paths).
