java map editor

Mulley2 · Post by **Mulley2** » Tue May 25, 2004 4:58 pm

It SEEMS that the current java map editor does NOT work with the latest Java runtime. I MAY be wrong on this, but I've downloaded 4 versions of the editor from the "source" sites (cf.mf, downloads), and one MORE version from a closely-related site. NONE of them work.

It seems that updates in the JRE (now J2RE) have caused the java CF editor to no longer function in its' current form.

If anybody has a way to make this work, please reply.

What version JRE are you running?

[edit] FYI I am running j2sdk1.4.2_03 and the map editor works fine.

Ok, I just downloaded and installed j2sdk1.4.2_04 which is the latest I could find on java.sun.com today. I did have to manually "ln -s /usr/java/j2sdk1.4.2_04/bin/* /usr/local/bin" to get "java -jar CFJavaEditor.jar" to work. But it is running fine here after a short test of starting the editor and loading HallOfDMs.

What is the command line you are using to start the editor? What problem are you experiencing? What OS? More info!

Sorted it out, thanks poof : )

Seems XP REQUIRES the path to /bin in the path variables. After I set that, it worked fine to double-click the .jar file.

Doesn't matter if you create a shortcut w/ all the needed paths, it won't run. The OS needs a path defined. It asked for 2 things: Variable name (I chose java) and variable path (path to the JRE /bin directory). BING! Double-clicking on the .jar file worked!! No reboot needed! (results may vary. Consult your reboot doctor before trying this at home.)

Glad it's working for you. Now for something completely off topic ...

BTW, XP sucketh. Thou wilt needst rebooteth somewhen.

Here is some serious uptime (my company file server):

Code: Select all

[era@era2 era]$uname -X
 
System = UnixWare
Node = era2
Release = 5
KernelID = 99/03/04
Machine = Pentium
BusType = ISA
Serial = 2FC056443
Users = 15

OEM# = 0
Origin# = 1
NumCPU = 1
 
[era@era2 era]$uptime
  12:14pm  up 273 days, 16:25,  2 users

Yup, that really is a pentium I with an ISA bus. Last reboot for that was a power outage that lasted longer than the battery backup.

I need a generator.

Of course that does not come close to any of these monitored by netcraft. Note they are all unix. Specifically some form of BSD unix.
