[groovy-user] problems with 1.5.4 GraphicsPad on WinXP

[Leo Lipelis]

I have a fresh install of Groovy 1.5.4 on Windows XP. Everything appears to
work as expected except the GraphicsPad. When I start the GraphicsPad I get
a huge window that cannot be moved or resized, because its borders are
outside the desktop viewing area.

Secondly, no matter what I try to evaluate via Control-R, I get this
exception:

java.lang.RuntimeException: An operation is not recognized. Please check the
code.

I'm using jdk1.6.0_02 as can be seen here (cut-n-paste from .bat file with
set DEBUG=true):
C:\Program Files\Groovy\Groovy-1.5.4\bin>"C:\Program
Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_02\bin\java.exe" "-Xmx128m"

If I try to evaluate println("hi"), I see "hi" printed in the Windows shell
window followed by the same exception as above. None of the code samples I
tried to paste into the source window work.

Am I doing something wrong? Is there a bug? Does anyone know what is going
on?

Thanks in advance,
--Leo

Hi Leo,

The window size is fixed to 1024x800 and it is not resizable because
graphicsPad did not use SplitPane before (it does on version 0.5+), I'll be
sure to make it resizable in the next release.

I noticed that the Windows NSIS installer did not include the batik
libraries so you may want to check first if those libraries are indeed at
$GROOVY_HOME/lib (the list is located at
http://groovy.codehaus.org/GraphicsBuilder)

Lastly, you can't execute regular scripts in graphicsPad, you have to have
at least one valid graphics node in your code, a simple 'println("hi")' will
throw an exception.
