Thanks for the pointer Kevin. I wanted “old” ones to get 1.5 etc. In any event, the fact that I am unable to set the WS in a PDE target platform definition. The key problem of this particular demo disaster is PDE bug 292068. That bug was closed as a dupe of a fixed SWT bug but the PDE target editor problem still is not fixed. That problem is new in 3.5.1. I worked around it by starting 3.5.0, editing the .target file, saving, and then going back to 3.5.1.

You don’t need an old VM to run carbon on Snow Leopard, you just need a 32-bit VM. The launcher should pick one for you by default. For self hosting you may need the -d32 VM argument to force your VM to be 32-bit.
