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

[skotchvail]

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 from the app itself, just not from processing-java

[skotchvail]

I am not renaming the app (it is Processing.app) and I installed the tool after updating the app. Rebooting has not helped. 2.0b8 is working without problem, though.

Possible that the command line stuff needs an update for some of the changes that showed up in 2.0b9. We're slowly moving to using the Eclipse compiler and debugger instead of the full JDK, though we're not there yet.

I'll have to look into it. Otherwise, you can modify the processing-java shell script to include more of the .jar files that are in the java/mode folder buried inside the .app. (But only if any of that means anything to you...)

[skotchvail]

yes, editing the script fixed it. I added these jars and it works:

: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

Fixed for the next release.

I'm seeing this issue in Processing 2.0. By 'next release' do you mean 2.1 (or 2.0.1)?

[benfry]

Should be fixed in 2.0. You'll need to reinstall the command line tool after installing a new version, however.

This still won't work for me. Using the latest release, reinstalled "processing-java" and get the same error when trying to run from Sublime Text 2. Version 2.0b8 works fine. Checked processing-java shell script and it has all the jar files listed. Using Mac 10.8.4 with latest Java update.

Any ideas?

Also seeing this in 2.0b9 on Mac OS X Lion 10.7.5 (11G63)... I'll try stable 2.01

[benfry]

Indeed, it will be broken forever in 2.0b9. Please use 2.0.1 (or any later release that becomes available).
