No Java runtime present, requesting install.

Glider (IDE)
#1

Had a real problem with my previous issue (regarding Glider environment becoming unusable to mouse), and noticed that when I booted up Java Control Panel the same issue persisted - mice clicks wouldn’t interact with the dialogue box! Bizarre!

So I uninstalled everything I could find to do with Java (JRE, etc…) and re-installed Java SE Runtime Environment 1.7.0.

I had to completely uninstall Glider as well - however now when I try to build I get the following error message in the Glider IDE log:

No Java runtime present, requesting install.

2013-06-19 15:51:34.384 Corona Simulator[1483:707] JLRequestRuntimeInstall: CFMessagePortSendRequest: error -1

The problem is that JRE is installed because if I type java -version into Terminal I get:

java version “1.7.0_25”

Java™ SE Runtime Environment (build 1.7.0_25-b15)

Java HotSpot™ 64-Bit Server VM (build 23.25-b01, mixed mode)

So not entirely sure why I’m getting this error. I can’t find any options in Glider as to how and where it links into JRE.

Any advice would be grateful.

P.S After uninstalling everything Glider becomes responsive as does the Java Control Panel ?!?

Very bizarre - had to go back to Apple’s 1.6 version of Java, which eradicated any problems. It seems upgrading to Oracle’s 1.7 caused all kinds of problems for me.

Hello SegaBoy,

We bundled Java 7 with Glider because we did not want to force everyone to upgrade. We highly recommend you use Java 6 for everything else (I believe the android build can only use JDK 6.) If you are curious to see where the bundled Java 7 is you can “show package contents” on the glider app and it will be under a folder called “jre.”

But yea, that is an extremely strange and bizarre problem. Not being able to click on the java preferences panel means that there may be a external program somehow interfering with it. You mentioned something earlier about the splashtop streamer? Do you think it may have something to do with that? Maybe it is incorrectly intercepting mouse events?

Don’t think so - I completely removed all aspects of Splashtop Streamer and vowed never to let it touch my machine again :slight_smile:

All working now - apart from the usual high CPU usage. FWIW I seem to notice the IDE hanging on some tasks, currently in the bottom right it’s saying:

Lua VM Source(142/145) 

It’s been like that for at least 30 minutes. There are other things that seem to run like this and cause the CPU spike?!? I can’t seem to cancel these either by clicking the ‘x’ next to the description.

Hello SegaBoy,

If you are having many problems please try this version:

http://www.mydevelopersgames.com/Lua%20Glider%20InstallerJ7u40Dev.dmg

It uses a dev build of Java 7 u 40. So far from our testing it seems fairly stable and it fixes a few known bugs. Let us know if it is an improvement
