I am still unable to get Servoy to launch on Mac Panther (Java 1.4) or Tiger (Java 1.5). Worked fine before 2.2.1.
Corection, it WILL launch, and allow selection of solution and even login info, but after login info it sits with rotating Servoy logo. I can go to “Window” and select a form to show - and sometimes get the form to show - but the data will not display. The Servoy status shows as “ready”.
Anyone else having Mac issues with this release or did the RC2 seem to fix the issue for you?
Could you clarify - are you unable to load Developer or is it a problem with Client? I’m about to start testing this release on Windows but have couple of clients who are using Panther. Be nice to know the ‘gotchas’ in advance.
Deleted the Java WebStart Cache - Tried on 2 machines - did not seem to correct the issue.
We are on 10.4.2 and 10.3.9 G4’s. Servoy launches, askes for the solution to open, gives login dialog, then the logo just spins in the solution window while the status bar reads “Ready”.
Again, this started after we went to 2.2.1 RC1 and was not fixed (for us) after 2.2.1 RC2.
We noticed this problem using Servoy Version R2 2.2.1rc-build 330 - which we downloaded today (9/1/05). The broken java 1.4 problem was supposed to be fixed with this release (assuming this is rc2) but it doesn’t look like it - at least not for Mac OSX. sdevlin posted on this problem today in the Issues and Bugs forum.
Try this:
Be sure that you have J2SE 5.0 installed with Tiger. It doesn’t get installed automatically (at least not with ours) with just a system update. You can get the download from Apple at: http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/java2se50release1.html.
Just because you have this installed, it is not the default. Next go to the Java Preferences application (in /Applications/Utilities/Java/J2SE 5.0) and under the Java Applications Runtime Settings, drag J2SE 5.0 to the top.
I use developer on my PC and I have not had issues with debugger launching. I DO, on occasion, run into an issue where I can not begin writing a script after creating a method. I have to close the method and re-open. Other than that I have not had any other issues with the editor/debugger.
The debugger in the past, before 2.2.1 rc2, used to immediately engage without having to set breakpoints and allow you to step though your script.
For instance, I could click on a button that was attached to an onAction event and the editor would open to said onAction script and give me the option of stepping through the script.
None of this happens on Mac or PC Developer since 2.2.1.rc2.
