Plugins AWOL

Classic Servoy
1

Hi

I am developing on two machines, a Powerbook G4 and a PowerMac G5. Both machines have 10.4.4, java 1.5 and Servoy 2.2.3.

I noticed recently that my plugins had become unavailable on my servoy developer on both machines so I reinstalled Servoy from scratch on the G5, replaced my .db files (including repository) from the original copy and replaced my servoy.properties. This solved the problem (and significantly sped Servoy Developer up). I later copied my servoy working directory to my Powerbook and tried to reopen the solution I was working on. No problems until I try to run a method which uses a plugin (the file plugin in this case) and I got the following error: “For this operation the file plugin is needed Note this method is deprecated, use the plugin directly in your code”. Into designer mode, into my method and the plugins object in the navigator has lost its triangle to expand it. No plugins.

Needless to say the Servoy directory is identical (copied 15 minutes ago) to my G5, and has a plugins directory called ‘plugins’ containing:
excelxport.jar
http
scheduler
jakarta-poi
mail.jar
images.jar.jnlp
rawSQL.jar
scheduler.jar.jnlp
pdf_output
fmport.jar
amortization.jar
images.jar
file.jar
pdf_forms.jar
udp.jar
excelxport.jar.jnlp
scheduler.jar
spellcheck.jar
http.jar.jnlp
http.jar
images
fmport
kioskmode.jar
popupmenu.jar
spellcheck.jar.jnlp
pdf_output.jar
pdf_output.jar.jnlp
agent.jar
tabxport.jar
dialog.jar
spellcheck

It works on the G5, doesn’t on the G4, anyone have a similar situation (hopefully with a solution)?

Thanks

I still have this exact same problem. I am unable to resolve it. The powerbook just has no plugins available. I have reinstalled Java 1.5, tried in Java 1.4.2, tried logging in as a different user, tried replacing the servoy.properties file, deleting the java cache files, etc. Nothing helps. If I start the machine from an alternative hard drive (external firewire), the problem goes (even using the main servoy developer directory in the powerbook’s Applications folder). Start however from the internal hd, and it doesn’t work. Somehow a part of the OS is preventing just the plugins folder from working just in Servoy. Very weird. Any light Servoy can shed on what in my system might be broken?

Looks like a permissions problem, check ownership and privileges on the Servoy and Plugins folders. From external HDs privileges are ignored by default.
