Cider: 32 bit JVM?

Glider (IDE)
#1

Was pretty excited to watch the Cider introduction video and see a solution for debugging my corona programs/scripts.

I’ve downloaded the Cider demo but unfortunately I don’t have a good version of java/java virtual machine

I get this error:

“Error: This Java instance does not support a 32-bit JVM. Please install the desired version.”
I’m on a 64 bit PC. Is that the problem?

Any tips on the next step to get Cider running? My Java updater says I have the current version of Java on my machine.

The Cider demo looks insane, I’m excited to try out the IDE!

Hello EHO,

Thank you for your interest! Currently we only support a 32 bit JVM. If you are on Mac please go to applications->utilities->java preferences and move the 32 bit jvm over the 64 bit. We may relax the 32 bit requirement in the upcoming update. If you are running windows then please get the 32 bit jvm from here:

@ M.Y.developers,

I wanted to follow up with you… I’ve not actually downloaded the 32 bit jvm for windows but I did try cider out on my mac and I was able to successfully debug what had previously been an intractable problem for me. It ended up being a very simple mistake, but without the ability to view variable values and step through my logic, I wouldn’t have caught the problem. This is my first “real” experience using a debugger to solve a problem and I feel like a champion. I wanted to share my success and say thanks for what appears to be a powerful tool :slight_smile: [import]uid: 105707 topic_id: 29137 reply_id: 117831[/import]

Ok, there are a few choices on that link… nothing explicitly called 32bit jvm

I’m going to pick “Windows x86 Offline”? Please let me know if I’m on the right track with that…
