SH3D not working on MacBook Pro Retina 10.8.4 and Java 1.6.0_51
I really love SH3D and used it on WIN before.
Now I switched to Mac and trying to contiue using it but I can't get it to work.

I'm on MacBook Pro Retina OSX 10.8.2 with Java 1.6.0_51.
No additional monitor attached, and I also tried different screen resolutions.

But all I get after starting is this:

When I resize the window a little bit I get the correct view:

But every window I try to open is empty:

Every other action will result in a "non responding" app.

Can anybody help me to solve this.
I'm really missing to work with SH3D

Thanks
Peter

There was a regression in the Java update Apple released last week.
Please read this message to fix it.

Trust Apple Java 6 last update.
Anyway, the free version of Sweet Home 3D isn't supported under Java 7 yet (but it should come with Java 7u40 foreseen in the coming days).
