I installed the new version of yed (3.10.1 and 3.10.) and cannot start it.

I am *NOT* using webstart.

I am running linux with icedtea java

java version "1.7.0_13"

OpenJDK Runtime Environment (IcedTea7 2.3.6) (Gentoo build 1.7.0_13-b20)

OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 23.7-b01, mixed mode

 

The version yed-3.9.2 does work without problems.

I also deleted my .java directory in my homedir but that doesn't change anything.

Any advice on how to debug this?

 

Thanks a lot!

 

Answer 1

How do you run yEd? Since you are using IcedTea, I am assuming you are not using the executable yEd script from yEd's installation directory.
Moreover, does your yEd installation directory contain both jar files yed.jar and vectorgraphics.jar?

In any case, your problem is probably a bug in IcedTea. I strongly suggest using the official Oracle Java instead. E.g. on my Kubuntu 12.04 system with Oracle's JRE 7u13, EMF export works as expected when I run yEd using "java -jar yed.jar" or "java -cp yed.jar B.A.A.B".

Hi Thomas,
thanks for answer and pointing me into the right direction.
It was my fault since I forgot to add the new vectorgraphics.jar to my ebuild so it didn't get installed.
I fixed that and it's copied as well now and yed works again like a charm!

Thank you so much. Oh and it works very well with IcedTea.
