Processing 2.0b9 processing-java can't find org.eclipse.jdi.Bootstrap

in Integration and Hardware • 5 months ago

I am on OS X Mountain Lion, and I installed processing 2.0b9 and now nothing runs from the command line. Previous versions worked fine. I get an error about org.eclipse.jdi.Bootstrap not being found. I am not using Eclipse, does the new Processing require that?

For example, when I run the example Sketch called "Particles", I get the following error:

$ processing-java --sketch=/Volumes/Data/skotchvail/Downloads/Processing.app/Contents/Resources/Java/modes/java/examples/Demos/Graphics/Particles --output=${TMPDIR}TempDir --run --force

Things work fine form the processing app itself, just not from processing-java.

I filed this issue:

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

http://wiki.processing.org/w/Command_Line
" On Mac OS X, you may need to reinstall the command line tool after downloading a new version of Processing."

Have you done that?
For what it is worth, it works fine on Windows 7.

yes, each time I install a new version of processing, I run the Tools/Install processing-java command. I've even deleted everything and reinstalled that way. In all cases 2.0b8 works fine from both the command line and IDE, but 2.0b9 only works from the IDE, even for the sample apps.

I was having the same problem and fixed it...

I was renaming my application "Processing_2.0_b9" because I still wanted my 1.5 install around. When you install processing-java, it's looking for "Processing.app". So rename your 1.5 application, and keep your new 2.0 installation named "Processing.app". Should work...

That did not fix the problem for me. I was hopeful, because it turns out I was renaming the app similar to you, but when I stopped renaming the app the problem does not go away. Also, renaming the app was not a problem in 2.0b8 or earlier.

Trying to fix this, I have now completely redownloaded the app, I am not renaming it anymore (it is Processing.app), I am deleting processing-java, I am installing the tool again, and I still get exactly the same error. Rebooting has not helped.

I am curious, when you got this error before, was it exactly the same error, in other words, was it complaining about org/eclipse/jdi/Bootstrap?

It turns out that this is a bug in 2.0b9. See the discussion here:

https://github.com/processing/processing/issues/1787

There is a work around. Edit your processing-java file to have some more jars in it.

Here is what my processing-java script looks like now that I have added these jars

#!/bin/sh
cd "/Volumes/Data/skotchvail/Applications/Processing2.0.b9.app/Contents/Resources/Java" && /usr/libexec/java_home --request --version 1.6 --exec java -cp lib/pde.jar:lib/antlr.jar:lib/jna.jar:lib/ant.jar:lib/ant-launcher.jar:core/library/core.jar:lib/org.eclipse.osgi_3.8.1.v20120830-144521.jar:lib/jdi.jar:lib/jdimodel.jar:lib/com.ibm.icu_4.4.2.v20110823.jar processing.mode.java.Commander "$@"

The name of the processing app is not relevant to this problem. It now works fine even with a different name.

I found this thread when I updated from 2.05b to 2.0 release and it broke running Processing from Emacs. It turned out that all I had to do was go into the Processing IDE and do "Tools / Install processing-java" and now everything works great. So hopefully they fixed whatever the issue with 2.09b was.

MacOS 10.6.8 btw.
