Problem with Java version 7

I had placed this topic at the Share your work forum a month ago, but I didn’t manage to solve a problem with Java, so I ask again for help.

I tried to make a program, where someone can draw using known digital tools and simultaneously hears the sound of his painting.

This is my first program using processing. You can download it from the link below.

The color is related to musical note, the thickness of the tools is related to amplitude, the mouse motion to tempo.

I know my code is not so good. I only want to know if it works. The user must hear a general sound that can switch on/off and a sound coming from the drawing tools.

Here are some videos to get an idea.

I am about to present it in September so any comments or impovemeats are wellcome.

My problem is the following.

I made the program using Java version 1.6.0_31 and everything worked fine. After installing Java 7, I hear only one of the sounds above, when I use the executable file. If I uninstall Java 7 and use Java version 1.6.0_31 works fine again. Does anyone have an idea what could be wrong? Can I do something to fix it?

Thanks.

Java 7 removed a number of deprecated / discouraged Sun-specific classes, that were used to do some specific operations like image codecs.
New versions, like 1.7_07 even continue to remove or move (to another package) these.
Perhaps that's the root of your problem, if sound is using one of these proprietary classes.
Do you have any trace in the console?

I dont't get errors or anything else in the console. I don't have problems with images or graphics. The program inside processing works fine.

The problem appears olny when I export the application.

From Java 1.6.0_33 to 1.7_07: When I remove the general sound it plays the sound of the drawing tools. When I add the general sound it plays only the general sound. Not both!

With Java 1.6.0_31 it plays both sounds as expected.

I also tried it on two more computers with the latest Java version and it worked only the first time and no more!

Thank you very much for your answer.
