Java on MAC

[Palom0]

Java 1.6 is required by both the downladed version and the Web-based versions of RouteConverter, but MAC has not yet released an update to 1.6. How can I make this application work?

Note: In the case of the web-based vrsion, the application starts, but the right-hand side panel does not display the map. It displays "Could not start Web browser" instead

Thanks, Jose

Hi Jose,

Java 1.6 is offered as Java SE 6 on your second screenshot.

How can I make this application work?

Try the 64-bit edition

Christian,
The 64 bit version was the first option I tried, and still didn't work. Check out the error message in the attached pic.

Hi Jose,

Christian,
No luck. I did what you suggested but it still doesn't work. The error I get now is different, though. See the pic.
Also, the application now freezes completely and I have to do a "force quit". Any ideas?

Yes, we need to find the bug. The screenshot shows a NullPointerException. I need the RouteConverter.log as described in the FAQ http://www.routeconverter.de/faq/errors/...og-file/en

This might be a bit tedious to find as you might need to change permissions and search for it - are you familiar with the console?

Christian,
I don't have knowledge of these things, however, I was able to manage and get into /tmp/. In there there were a bunch of files and folders and I couldn't find the RouteConverter.log file. I even looked inside the protected folders (changing the access permission) to no avail.

I assume that since the application freezes, it doesn't have time to create the log.

Any other ideas?

Opening the log is the very first thing that RouteConverter does.

Any other ideas?

Yes, I think the log file is not called RouteConverter.log but something like RouteConverter2342jddwi2.log

There are no files with created aroud the time I run the app.
Check both my computer's time and the time on the /tmp/ files in the pic. Nothing was created when I tried installing RouteConverter.
