Getting java host software to run on Leopard

Hi All,

I've been trying to get the host java software to run on leopard 10.5. I'm getting the follow stacktrace:

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: gnu/io/PortInUseException
Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: gnu.io.PortInUseException
at java.net.URLClassLoader$1.run(URLClassLoader.java:200)

at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClass(ClassLoader.java:251)
at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClassInternal(ClassLoader.java:374)

From searching through the forum, these same class not found exception was being thrown on windows when rxtx wasn't installed. I installed rxtx directly but this had no affect. I've also tried switching the system default java to 1.6 but seeing as the reprap script is setting java_home to 1.6 this was a blind alley.

I've found a few posts from 3 or 4 months ago saying that rxtx 64bit support was flaky and that mac wont be releasing a 1.6 32bit jvm. So is the java host software a deadend on mac? I'm going to have a shot at getting the build running over the weekend to see if I can get it to run that way at least.

All the best
Barry

First question, are you using the latest version of the host code?

I'm using the latest release off sourceforge, not directly off the end. I'm going to attempt running ubuntu within vmware fusion to see if I can get that working.

Same here on Intel iMac running OS X 10.4 (Tiger) Tried to run the Java Host with Java 1.5 and 1.6 (using Soylatte16) as well but both result in the same errormsg.

For the same, the Arduino host software works ok and, to my knowledge, is also Java based and uses the RXTX java class.

Tried various settings of the CLASSPATH and PATH but no sucess.
Knowing not so much about Java I have no clue how to compile the recent SVN version. Have Netbeans installed but am rather lost there.

Got the Java Host running on OS X 10.4.11 (Tiger) by compiling the most recent source code with NetBeans 6.1

For details, see my RR blog here: [1m93.blogspot.com]

I had this problem also. I saw somewhere to remove the RxTx jar files in the system Java Extensions folder, and it seemed to help.

I have the reprap host gui for mac up, the console is spewing lots of (GUI related) exceptions, but its running.

to be clear of the steps I took, I have the reprap.jar running on OS X 10.5, and Java Udates from Apple which include Java SE 1.6. The reprap host folder includes a shell script that will direct Leopord to use the correct Java version.

I am using the recent rxtx-devel build from CVS, 1.2-8 to make the RXTXcomm.jar and and putting the RXTXcomm.jar in the /System/Library/Java/Extensions folder and librxtxSerial.jnilib in the folder where the reprap-host-mac .jar is running from.

Also installed the j3d, jogl, and jogl extensions as directed in the reprap mac software forums at [www.reprap.org]
