[solved] yed instant-terminating

0 votes

So I already wrote this to an Q&A in the answer section an noticed, it might not be the best of places for this:

http://yed.yworks.com/support/qa/2860/java-lang-nosuchmethoderror-with-java-1-7-0-openjdk-0-25-2-3-10

When switching from OpenJDK to Oracle-Java on my Fedora17/Fedora18 systems, I am yet again facing another issue:

yEd is Instantly terminating on me, without any output what-so-ever:

[from my earlier answer-post:]

Thus I downloaded the yed.jnlp (from todays version), and ran a

javaws yed.jnlp

Java-Oracle starts up (build 1.7.0_25-b15), the 'Starting applications...' dialog/window popps up, Oracle is asking me if I am sure I want to run this software (I do *not* set the 'do not show this again' field), I choose "run"

And the Webstart terminates.

No error-Messages, no error-output on the commandline from where I started the javaws, nothing.

 

Next I decided, maybe a flaky jnlp. Is known to happen now and then.

So I got the yed-experts-version since I really don't need another jre on my system(s) -

java -version tells me:

[me@mybox yed-3.11]$ java -version
java version "1.7.0_25"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.7.0_25-b15)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 23.25-b01, mixed mode)

BUT if I run 'java -jar yed.jar' or similar (see below) it just exits, once more, without any message anywhere. It does not complain about missing dependencies, or other stuff, just exits. Near Instantly. Below is the timed- output of a call including all jars and stuff.

[me@mybox yed-3.11]$ date && time java -cp .:vectorgraphics.jar:yed.jar -jar yed.jar && date

[me@mybox yed-3.11]$

Any ideas anyone?

Additionally I just tried the JRE-inclusion version of yEd-3.11 (64bit) linux variant;
After downloading, the installation went through without GUI errors (there were cmd-line errors, see below).

However launching the thus installed yEd version
using
/bin/sh /home/me/yEd/yEd
ran for a split second and than terminated without any message whatsover -
exactly like the stand-alone yEd version above.

Install errors:
[me@mybox Downloads]$ bash yEd-3.11_64-bit_setup.sh

The trick was killing dormant (failed/...) webstart sessions of yEd;

After those were removed,

the launch from commandline did work again.

Thanks for the pointers!
