OTDT launch fails on Mac OS Leopard

[stephan]

When launching the OTDT on Mac OS 10.5 (aka Leopard) eclipse terminates shortly after showing the splash screen with the following error:

2007-11-28 11:18:58.977 eclipse[168:10b] Apple AWT Java VM was loaded  
on first thread -- can't start AWT.
Exception in thread "Thread-2" java.lang.InternalError: Can't start  
the AWT because Java was started on the first thread.  Make sure  
StartOnFirstThread is not specified in your application's Info.plist  
or on the command line

Appearently this is an instance of  Eclipse bug #199020 (which in turn is based on known problems with the AWT/SWT/Mac combination).

OTDT 1.1.5 will contain the new binary attached in the above bugzilla.
