Whether I double-click the "TLA+ Toolbox.app" or run the toolbox executable directly (at "/Applications/TLA+ Toolbox.app/Contents/MacOS/toolbox"), I see the same behavior: the TLA+ splash screen appears and the top menu populates with "File", "Window", and "Help". After the splash disappears, only the chrome of a tiny window with the minimize/maximize/close buttons appears (just big enough to house those three buttons), then the process just sits there. The actual Toolbox window never appears.

Hi Daniel,

I'm a little at loss here. Can you check if the bug persists with the
latest nightly build of the Toolbox [1]? The nightly builds use a newer
Eclipse release internally.

Thanks
