Pycharm 4.5 CE crashes on launch on OS X 10.8.5

I upgraded from Pycharm 4.0 (which worked fine) to 4.5 community edition on Mac OS 10.8.5.

It crashes on launch after bouncing a bit in the dock.

The log files, console, all show nothing.

I'm running java 1.6.0_65, and have Python 2.7, Jython, PyPy via Macports.

Any ideas?

Similar to the answer for IntelliJ IDEA, if you can't delete ~/Library/Java/Extensions, i.e., because you need it's contents (likely JAI jars) as part of other applications, you can create a file, pycharm.vmoptions in ~/Library/Preferences/PyCharm40 with contents:

-Djava.ext.dirs=/System/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/1.6.0.jdk/Contents/Home/lib/ext

to override OSX Java 6's default behavior of checking the user's ~/Library/Java/Extensions directory in addition to the system's extensions on application start up; but only for PyCharm.

Make sure you've installed Apple's Java for OS X 2014-001 (at least).

Try to delete ~/Library/Java/Extensions, see the issue IDEA-137147.
