Fixing ZDE 5.5 in Snow Leopard

If you are still using Zend Studio 5.5, and recently upgrade to Snow Leopard, you will have spotted pretty quickly there is a pretty severe display bug when selecting text.

The reason for this, is that Snow Leopard only ships with Java 1.6 and 1.3 (wtf?)

ZDE 5.5 On OSX

Even though I am in the process of trying to replace it, Zend Studio 5.5 is still my day-to-day IDE for development. However, on OSX Leopard, it has seemed for a while, like the app was decaying — growing progressively crashier the more I used it. Literally, to the point where I could use it.

I think, however, I have solved the issue.

Simply edit /Applications/Zend/ZendStudio-5.5.1/bin/runStudio_mac.sh and make the following change:

java -Xms16m -Xmx256m -cp ZendIDE.jar:MRJToolkitStubs.zip:sftp.jar:axis.jar:commons-discovery-0.2.jar:commons-logging-1.0.4.jar:javaxzombie.jar:jaxrpc.jar:saaj.jar:wsdl4j-1.5.1.jar:jhall.jar:../docs/help.zip com.zend.ide.desktop.Main

Just found the #netbeans Cmd+P (Ctrl+P on PC) shortcut. It shows function params in a tooltip when between parenthesis: http://bit.ly/bPd34l

Should I renew crtx.org? I don't have any need for it (right now), but I kinda like it... never used for email either.
