Problems with Modeler...

[Tony Giaccone <to...@giaccone.org>]

I've been away for a week and this morning I tried to start the Modeler and
am getting this message:

Unable to load Java Environment

Not sure what's causing this. Anyone have any insights?

$ java -version

java version "1.8.0_121"

Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_121-b13)

Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.121-b13, mixed mode)


$ echo $JAVA_HOME

/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.8.0_121.jdk/Contents/Home


The log file only shows:

(CayenneModeler.2716[70491]): Service exited with abnormal code: 1


There is a version of openjdk java 11 on my machine, I tried disabling it
by change Info.plist to Info.plist.disabled which removed it from the list
reported by /usr/libexec/java_home -V but hasn't solved my problem.


Any suggestions?

We started a project with a certain tool set, and we've continued to use
that toolset. Now obviously it's time to upgrade. :-)

Hi Tony,

this is probably not related to the reason, but… why are you still using such an ancient release of Java 8? 121 is more than 2 years old.

I see you are on OSX. The new easiest way to keep this updated for me 
seems to be:

# brew tap AdoptOpenJDK/openjdk
# brew cask install|adoptopenjdk8 |The downside is that this package doesn't include WebStart. But it 
avoids Oracle's mysterious new licensing and is easy to keep up to date. 
I also find # brew install jenv useful to switch between Java versions. Ari
