OSX Quicktime 6.4 update breaks processing
« on: Oct 17th, 2003, 4:46am » |

I just upgraded to Quicktime 6.4 (OS X 10.2.8, Powerbook G4 500) (via software update) and when I try to run a sketch taht worked yesterday, I now get the following error:
(Cut-and-paste didn't work from the error window. :[ )
Semantic Error: Type quicktime.std.stdQTConstants was not found .
You need to modify your classpath, sourcepath, bootclaspath, and/or extdirs setup. Package "quicktime/std" could not be found in:
/System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/1.3.1/Classes/class es.jar
I changed it over to use java 1.4, instead of 1.3, but it didn't help.

grumble grumble qtjava grumble grumble
not sure what's going on though.. i've also updated to quicktime 6.4 and i'm not having any trouble on my mac. i wonder if there was an installation problem, or if qtjava wasn't installed?
might want to try (in a terminal):
ls /System/Library/Java/Extensions/
and make sure it lists QTJava.zip. if not, qtjava may not be installed properly. or maybe they changed the install location (!#$*) and i haven't seen a dev note about it. if that's the case, could you search your machine for a file called "QTJava.zip" and report back if it finds anything?

It is not in there. 
It did find these: (find on "QTJava*")
/Developer/Examples/Java/QTJava
/Developer/Examples/Java/QTJava/QTJavaDemos
/System Folder/Extensions/MRJ Libraries/MRJClasses/QTJava.zip
That's all it found.
I have quicktime Pro, if that makes any difference at all.. I also just found this:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=120255
which has a QT6.3 reinstaller... I haven't tried it yet.

wow, that sucks.
they musta nixed it to make their ship date for the itunes stuff last week. sadly, i think qtjava must be awfully low on their list. that also stinks because of all the qtjava problems we've had on windows are now present for macosx..
i'll make a note in the readme for 66.

"The goal of this release is to provide QTJava developers with a new version of QTJava that works on both J2SE 1.3.1 and J2SE 1.4.1 on Mac OS X."

right.. i guess qt 6.4 works with panther (10.3.x) and java 1.3 and 1.4. large parts of qtjava were rewritten to work with both java 1.3 and 1.4, and many parts of the api were removed, since they have duplicate functionality in 1.3/1.4 (qtjava was written for java 1.1).
so in the end, it was a much needed rewrite, but the fixes weren't complete for jaguar (10.2.x) in time for their big announcement last week. however if you use panther, you'll be all set 
unfortunately, you'll be locked out of p5 rev 66 unless you drop a copy of QTJava.zip into /System/Library/Java/Extensions.

so, let me see if i understand you... (It's early and i'm still tired)
If i were to copy QTJava.zip aside, install QT 6.4, then copy it back, i should be fine?

depends on what you mean 'fine'.. p5 would at least run, and you'd be able to compile things, but you won't be able to use video until apple fixes things.
if you want to use video in p5 with qt 6.4, it appears as though you have to upgrade to panther, until apple releases quicktime 6.4.1 (or whatever) that fixes the qtjava problems on 10.2.x.
