Heartsome TMX Editor and Java on Mavericks

[tex...@gmail.com]

I was using the Heartsome TMX editor on Snow Leopard but my machine died and I am now setting up a new machine with OSX 10.9.3. I have downloaded and installed the latest version of Java JRE 8 something or other. I unzipped the Heartsome editor file and it presents me with a folder (no package manager/installer?), which I placed in my Applications folder. However, if I double-click the editor, it says that JE 6 is not installed and asks if I want to install it. Java is no longer supplied by Apple and Oracle doesn't recommend running earlier versions of Java for security reasons. Can Heartsome's editor work with the latest Java install?

There must be a .plist somewhere that specifies the Java version but I had not time to search for it.

Right-click on the application, open the package and check the files that are available.

This is what the plist says:

Don't understand it.

Cheers,

Hans,

Thanks for checking.

The plist contents:

<array>

<!-- to use a specific Java version (instead of the platform's default) uncomment one of the following options:

<string>-vm</string><string>/System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/1.4.2/Commands/java</string>

<string>-vm</string><string>/System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/1.5.0/Commands/java</string>

-->

<snip>

</array>

If you want to use Java 1.8, modify to something like this:

<array>

<!-- to use a specific Java version (instead of the platform's default) uncomment one of the following options:

<string>-vm</string><string>/System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/1.4.2/Commands/java</string>

<string>-vm</string><string>/System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/1.5.0/Commands/java</string>

—>

<string>-vm</string><string>/System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/A/Commands/java</string>

<snip>

</array>

That should use the version currently installed.

I have not tried though.

Yeah, there's a plist file. The relevant lines are: 

<!-- to use a specific Java version (instead of the platform's default) uncomment one of the following options:

<string>-vm</string><string>/System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/1.4.2/Commands/java</string>

<string>-vm</string><string>/System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/1.5.0/Commands/java</string>

But I don't see the version that's installed, which is more recent. I'm not even sure of the exact Version number. However, the error message asks for Java 6. Obviously, there's some correlation between the numbers but I don't have it. 

Thanks. 

Robert

I’ve sent a number of mails on this list about java running on your system. Check them to make sure where Java is if you’re interested, otherwise just add the line I’ve sent as a reply to Hans. That should do it.

OK. So I can simply add the line: 

<string>-vm</string><string>/System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/A/Commands/java</string>

to the plist file, without any reference to a specific Java JRE version?

Java must be working fine because I just installed WordFast Pro and it's working fine (unless it incorporates its own Java runtime implementation).

Hmm. OK. Weird. It's working fine now with no changes to the plist file.

I think rebooting the system solved the problem. Must have registered the new Java installation or something. Not entirely sure.
