on win2k, java1.4.1_02,
i get the following message when launching:
"processing.exe has generated errors and will be closed by Windows. You will need to restart the program.
An error log is being created."
(can't find the mentioned log, for now...)

is this your first attempt with 59? are you using standard or expert?
what does do your CLASSPATH and QTJAVA environment variables look like?

059 expert, crash on first attempt...
%CLASSPATH%
.;%OM_HOME%\lib\gl4java.jar;%OM_HOME%\lib\png.jar;%OM_HOME%\lib\gl4java- glffonts.jar;%OM_HOME%\lib\gl4java-glutfonts.jar;%OM_HOME%\lib\openmind- core.jar;%OM_HOME%\lib\vecmath-free.jar;%OM_HOME%\lib\al4java.jar;"D:\Pr ogram Files\Java\j2re1.4.1_02\lib\ext\QTJava.zip"
%QTJAVA%
"D:\Program Files\Java\j2re1.4.1_02\lib\ext\QTJava.zip"
+ i have also the dummy copy of QTJava.zip that made the trick for 058, on my c: drive

that classpath isn't valid.. the quotes around the qtjava stuff at the end won't work.. you have to put quotes around the entire classpath for that.
although i'm not sure if that's the problem.. i would try temporarily blanking out your classpath (just rename the var to CLASSPATH_HIDDEN or something) and try running and see if that prevents the crash. classpath no longer needs to be set, and the QTJAVA var is used to find qtjava (no more c:\ only badness)
if so, then we can figure out which part is causing trouble (i.e. the %OM_HOME% could be a problem, though i assume that's being subsituted properly and you just copied/pasted this text from the control panel, as opposed to from using echo on the command prompt).

i wonder if OM_HOME is too long.. we try to allocate ridiculous amounts of space for the classpath length, but who knows.
what's the expanded-out version of that whole CLASSPATH?

extended classpath (all this with quotes around):
Code:| .;D:\openmind\lib\gl4java.jar;D:\openmind\lib\png.jar;D:\openmind\lib\gl4java-glffonts.jar;D:\openmind\lib\gl4java-glutfonts.jar;D:\openmind\lib\openmind-core.jar;D:\openmind\lib\vecmath-free.jar;D:\openmind\lib\al4java.jar;D:\Program Files\Java\j2re1.4.1_02\lib\ext\QTJava.zip |
|
~279 bytes...
btw, if i start with run.bat, 059 will launch...

I'm having wierd starting problems with 0059 standard and expert on XP pro.
What I'm finding is that processing doesn't start unless d:\processing-0059\lib\comm.jar is in the classpath. however this only starts it once. To start it again i have to remove comm.jar from the classpath try to start 0059 (which fails) then re-add comm.jar and processing will start! I have to do this just about every time i need to start the processing ide. hmmm.
Does this make any sense??
Here's my classpath in full...
Code:| .;c:\Program Files\j2sdk1.4.2\thinlet\lib\thinlet.jar;c:\Program Files\j2sdk1.4.2\thinlet\lib\thinlet.icons.jar;c:\Program Files\j2sdk1.4.2\thinlet\lib\thinlet.drafts.jar;c:\Program Files\j2sdk1.4.2\rhino\js.jar;c:\Program Files\j2sdk1.4.2\jython\jython.jar;c:\Program Files\j2sdk1.4.2\jgraph\lib\jgraph.jar;C:\Program Files\Java\j2re1.4.1_01\lib\ext\QTJava.zip;C:\Program Files\j2sdk1.4.2\batik\extracted-lib\;C:\Program Files\j2sdk1.4.2\batik\lib\xerces_2_3_0.jar;C:\Program Files\j2sdk1.4.2\batik\lib\xml-apis.jar;d:\processing-0059\lib\comm.jar; |

All the Best.

k, so we've taken a different tact with rev 60, which is just to ignore the CLASSPATH, since it can't be used anyways. so that will prevent the error.
we'll have a method for bringing in external code in a future release.
