Is there an Servoy 7.4 installer, which I can try on Ubuntu 14.04 LTS „Trusty Tahr“?

Have you checked the download page?

Yes, yesterday, there was no 7.4 RC download. Now, there is a 7.4 RC download available.

I'm getting a lot of JavaFX error running this on MacOSX with Java 7:

Code: Select all

An internal error occurred during: "Requesting Script AST from selection".
javafx.application.Platform.setImplicitExit(Z)V

Errors occurred during the build.
Errors running builder 'Script Builder' on project 'SintProFramework'.
javafx.application.Platform.setImplicitExit(Z)V


Any idea?
Just moving from view to view is enough to trigger multiple errors without even launching the solution.

Do you also have some stack traces in .metadata/.log (I'm assuming those errors show up in a dialog)?
If you do, please create a case with those and the javafx code snippet you have in your script files.

I will create a case with the log but I'm not using any javafx code at all.

Issue created: SVP-392

Both the it2be ftp plugin and the Mindfire mfFt plugin are not loading after updating to Servoy 7.4 rc 2

This is most likely due to missing osgi classpath import attributes in Developer.
I've seen for example that the commons-fileupload.jar classes returns a ClassNotFound exception when they are available in /lib, but not accessible to the debug client classpath.

Separate discussion about this (classpath issue) here.

We removed the apache commons-logging lib from osgi classpath since it did break the latest SQLExplorer plugin in developer.
See case https://support.servoy.com/browse/SVY-5970

Patrick: could you file a case for the broken plugin?

Done: https://support.servoy.com/browse/SVP-397
But I cannot set this bug to public (no option in the create bug window) nor set the Servoy version.
I cannot edit it either. Is that new in the support???

Hi Patrick,

Seems you created a Servoy Support ticket (SVP-xxxx) instead of a Servoy Product (SVY-xxxx) ticket. I guess these are always set to private.
