Java error on OSX 10.10.5

andybates · August 2015

Hey guys! Newbie here (to the forum). So I just updated my macbook OS to OSX10.10.5 (Yosemite) and have some issues with java when I try to run a sketch in Processing.

The sketch:

import processing.sound.*;
SoundFile file;

void setup() {
  size(640, 360);
  background(255);

  // Load a soundfile from the /data folder of the sketch and play it back
  file = new SoundFile(this, "buzz.wav");
  file.play();
}      

void draw() {
}

The console after I press 'run':

#

Could not run the sketch (Target VM failed to initialize).
Make sure that you haven't set the maximum available memory too high.

I never had any issues with Processing before updating my OS so I have no idea what's going on... So far I've tried updating Java to version 8, uninstalling it and reverting back to the Apple Java 6, restarting my machine but no luck with any of these so far :(

Any help/guidance would be amazing! Thanks!!! :)

Howdy, Stranger!
