 Posted: Wed Jul 20, 2005 2:49 pm Post subject: NeoOffice/J 1.1 doesn't want to work under 10.4.2 |
|
Previous versions worked fine.
Updated to the full 1.1 release, but now when I launch NeoOffice/J, the icon bounces in the Dock for a while, disk thrashes, then the icon disappears again but NeoOffice/J refuses to start AND gives no error messages at all.
Even tried deleting it and doing a full fresh install of 1.1 to no avail.
Any ideas?
This is on a Dual 2.5GHz G5, 4.5GB RAM, MacOS X 10.4.2. Same result even after a fresh reboot. |

Does the Console.log (/Applications/Utilities/Console.app) print anything when you try to launch Neo/J?

Hi Smokey,
Thanks for the reply. Just had another go and Console logs the following -
resolveUndefined(_abort) in /System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/1.3.1/Home/../Libraries/libJDirect.jnilib
resolveUndefined(_abort) in /System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/1.3.1/Home/../Libraries/libJDirect.jnilib

Jul 21 00:13:18 Gandalf-2 crashdump[2106]: crash report written to: /Users/keith/Library/Logs/CrashReporter/soffice.bin.crash.log
The resultant soffice.bin.crash.log says
Exception: EXC_BAD_ACCESS (0x0001)
Codes: KERN_PROTECTION_FAILURE (0x0002) at 0x00000034
(amongst other things).
I have done Software Update and repaired permissions, and made sure I'm using NO/J 1.1 with Patch-0.
Worth reinstalling Java, or should I file a bug report including the full crash log?
Thanks for your help! |

It appears that the Mac OS X 10.4.2 upgrade corrupted some of your Java 1.3.1 files. I am not sure how this can be fixed, but you may want to try rebooting and running "repair disk permissions" in the /Applications/Utilities/Disk Utility application. It probably won't help but it won't hurt.

Maybe you should try to reapply Mac OS X 10.4.2 Combo Update ?
I have no problems with NeoOffice/J 1.1 patch 0 on 10.4.2  |

OK, I've tried reapplying the big 10.4.2 patch.
I've rerun repair permissions.
I've even installed the latest release of Java (1.5.x).
All to no avail, NeoOffice/J still refuses to run and still crashes out with the same Java errors.
Anything else anyone can think I can try?
Oh, and why is it using 1.3.1 when the default on Tiger is 1.4.2?
Thanks in advance,
Keith |

I think that the only way to get Java 1.3.1 reinstalled is to run the Mac OS X 10.4 install again.

Because Java 1.4 did not exist when I started developing Neo/J, Java 1.4.1 was incredibly buggy when it first came out, and Neo/J needs access to the underlying native window and font C pointers that changed radically from Java 1.3.1 to Java 1.4.x.
I am in the process of moving the code to handle, but it is not a trivial amount of effort.

Answer (that article is slightly out of date now that we've passed June 6, but it explains the situation for 1.1--which was less than 2 months from release after 10 months in development when 10.4 appeared, anyway--perfectly)
As for the failing to launch, you might see if the solutions suggested in this thread work.
If not, filing a bug and attaching your full crashlog (attach after submitting the bug initially; don't paste in the comments field) is probably the best option short of a reinstall of 10.4.0 + combo updater. Edit: Patrick posted while I was writing; he seems sure that Java 1.3.1 is corrupted, so looks like a reinstall....

Hi Patrick and Smokey,
thanks for your replies.
First off - ta for explaining why Neo uses 1.3.1 Java - all make sense!
Second - I think I would agree with you both that my 1.3.1 Java install is buggered. I'd rather avoid doing a full reinstall of Tiger if I can possibly help it, so what I'll try is copying the 1.3.1 Java tree from my iBook to my PowerMac and see how that goes. Of course, if that still fails then it's time to back everything up (goodness knows where to!) and then reinstall 10.4 I guess.
I'll let you know how it goes, although it may take a little time (especially if a reinstall is needed!).
Cheers,
Keith |

That sounds like a safe approach. Just to be really safe, only copy the /System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/1.3.1 folder so that your Java 1.4.2 installation doesn't get messed up.

Update - I've installed Java 1.3.1 from another known working 10.4.2 Mac, rebooted, redone disk permissions, rebooted again.
And NeoOffice/J still crashed at startup with exactly the same errors logged in the console and crashlog
I guess the only option left now is to log a bug, so I'll fill that out tonight.
Thanks,
Keith |

Before you waste time filing a bug report, you might want to verify that Java 1.3.1 actually works. You can do this by running a simple Java program using the following steps:
1. Create a file called Test.java and put the following lines in it:
| Code: | import java.awt.*;
public class Test {
public static void main(String[] args) {
Frame f = new Frame();
Panel p = new Panel();
f.add(p);
f.setSize(500, 500);
f.show();
}
}
|
2. Open a terminal and "cd" to the folder that you put the Test.java file in.
3. Compile the Test.java file using the following command (edit: updated the command as succeeding posts confirmed my original command had a typo):
4. Run the compiled program with Java 1.3.1 using the following command:
| Code: | | /System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/1.3.1/Commands/java -classpath . Test |
If a blank window appears when you run the program, then you know that Java 1.3.1 is working.

Would it not be nicer to use something like the HelloWorld.java code that is around somewhere? That way they get the nice blank panel with the words "Hello World" in it.
If course, if they get a crash message, that means it is time to backup and rebuild, not something that is everyday with MacOSX. That is something that I did when my compiles of NeoJ and OOo 1.1.x and 1.9 would not work.

Is this a typo?

You are right, Luke. I've been working with Java for a while now and I missed that one (Slapping sound of hand hitting forehead.)

Nor should it. Each Java workspace is called up on its own. There may be differing parameters. You should see how long it takes for a multiple java program to come up on a SUN system. Not knocking SUN, but whoever wrote the application could have called it up from one sandbox (JVM) but did not.
