Hi Maria,

Sorry for problem of running the IDV.
The IDV has bundled the JRE library in it and it will not use the local 
installed JDK library. So don't worry about any Java installed
in your machine. We are moving away from the Web Start, let us figure out what 
the problem is running the IDV  from your Mac.

Please tell me what happened when you try to launch the IDV from Mac App. Does 
it crash or hang?
