Could not create the Java virtual machine...

[Antonio Vizcaíno]

Ok, i know that probably is my fault, maybe change something on my mac 10.9... but i can't run epubcheck now.

This is the message:

XXX:~ XXXXX$ java -jar/Applications/epubcheck-v4.0.0-alpha4/epubcheck.jar 

Unrecognized option: -jar/Applications/epubcheck-v4.0.0-alpha4/epubcheck.jar

Could not create the Java virtual machine.

Any idea? 

Thanks a regards guys.

Hi Antonio,

that's just a typo. The command must have a space inbetween "-jar" and "/Applications/..."

XXX:~ XXXXX$ java -jar /Applications/epubcheck-v4.0.0-alpha4/epubcheck.jar

Cheers, Toby

As a ex Beta tester and like to do again, I concur with Tobias that it is generally a misconstrued pathway.  Your error message was just begging for realignment.
I do believe it is called a pointer - as in  when you direct a line of code towards an external file or file folder, &tc.
 
Cheers,

P.S. has anyone ever embedded a whole MP3 file into an eBook - if so, what does this do to file sizes - like if I wanted to embed, say 10 MP3 files!
Really curious!

I can guarantee I have seen epubs with multiple mp3 files in them. And way, way more.

Yes,  file size becomes an issue.

Depending on what they are (spoken word, music, combination) you can downsample the files and get much smaller files at the cost of lower nitrate and quality. 

The other question I’d ask is how are you providing fall back and accessible content? According to the spec the fallbacks are required for valid epub3 documents.

Hello and Thank you,
 
I am going to perform my own experiments and then we will see what is UP!
 
Cheers,
