Description
In order to run Mule under Java 6 on 64-bit Intel based Macs OS X 10.5.7 (update 4, the latest a/o reporting this issue), it is recommended to upgrade the Tanuki wrapper software to version 3.3.5. This will avoid the annoying warnings that that Tanuki Wrapper can't find a suitable wrapper library that matches the environment and quite likely runs Mule better - YMMV. Details of how to do this (for the Mac only) can be found here -> http://www.rich-software.com/wp/2009/07/running-mule-2-2-x-with-64-bit-tanuki-wrapper-and-java-6-on-mac-os-x/, but it should be very similar for other OSes.
Here's the deal. Wrapper 3.3.x changed their license to GPL which makes it incompatible with Mule. When we approached Tanuki software regarding the OSS license exemption, got a standard sales reply.
However, Mule EE has an up-to-date wrapper version (which also means more platforms), as we actually bought a redistribution license for it. Naturally, there's a price tag involved, and it's not part of the CE.
This is today, things may or may not change tomorrow. You can of course, lobby our common interest with Tanuki Software
