Cannot Launch GSEA on mac

[Pandya]

Hello,

I'm trying to launch GSEA on mac. However, I cannot launch the application using the jnlp file. I have java8 and have also tried clearing java cache and yet GSEA does not launch in the browser. I'd really appreciate if you can help me debug this issue.

Thank you!

Hi,

Unfortunately there's not enough information for us to help.  Can you enable the Java Console through System Preferences and re-try launching?  That might give more information about what's happening.

Regards,

David

Hi,

Thank you for your reply. I had multiple java versions on my computer and I couldn't run GSEA though I had set the default to Java8. Yesterday, I uninstalled all the java versions and reinstalled Java8 and that did the trick. I can run GSEA now.

Thank you!

Hi!

I'm having a similar problem on my Mac. Here the traceback:

and my version of Java:

helios:~ ch$ java --version

Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment 18.3 (build 10.0.1+10)

Any help is welcome!

Hi,

Unfortunately GSEA will not currently run with Java Version 10 - you'll need Java 8.
