Received via emo inbox: -- I can understand that the latest version of Eclipse doesn't work on Mac OS 10.4. However, is it that difficult for you to clearly indicate that on the Downloads page? Or even to check the OS version before I download, and alert me to this fact? All it states is that I need JRE SE 5 or greater, which I have. Rather than me needlessly downloading and extracting a package that doesn't work on my system. -- From follow up conversation, a dialog appears saying "This application requires Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard) or greater." when you attempt to run downloaded MAC OS packages. Is this intended behaviour? Can we provide a warning as suggested on the website?
The download page is structured in a way that lets us provide notices depending on OS as we used to have a notice for linux users. +1 for this as its low impact. If you can define the content for that message we can get this up.
While we're there, I'm wondering if anyone would volunteer to update the known issues page: http://wiki.eclipse.org/SDK_Known_Issues I believe GCJ is no longer an issue, but I don't know for sure.

I added the warning message for Mac OS X users on the download and developer download page : http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/index-developer.php?osType=macosx
