RouteConverter "Hangs"

[routeconverter]

First of all, I'd like to thank you for this software.

Dear Yves,

thank you very much.

Since some time, I've encountered the same problem mentioned as RouteConverter online "hangs".
Even if I delete and reinstall the software, whatever the version (2.13 or 2.17 for instance, even with the prerelease), it is still the same problem.
Moreover, whatever the way used (Java launcher or embedded software in my Yosemite MacOS version), nothing works; Java is up to date.

I can bring you some data :

Wow, an impressive amount of information. It took me a while to chew it. Unfortunately, I found nothing helpful regarding the "hang" problem :-(

Could the Java version play a role? Currently, you're on 1.8.0_71

- when I switch to "invited user" mode, it works. Everytime.
- so I decided to create a new account on my Mac and deleting the previous one. 
For some days, it worked perfectly. And then, it hanged again.
Impossible now to make it restart on my account.

That sounds weird. My conclusion is that either RouteConverter leaves some data which prevents it from running or that an Antivirus/Security solution blocks it.

RouteConverter writes temporary files into a temporary directory which Mac OS X and the Java VM put in hidden directory somewhere below /tmp - you can delete it whenever you want and RouteConverter creates it again. And RouteConverter stores metadata and downloads below ~/.routeconverter - if you delete it, RouteConverter downloads it again. If RouteConverter doesn't start, try to delete the data or send it to me. Frankly, I cannot imagine that this is the reason why it doesn't start but who knows.

On Windows, my Antivirus/Security solution "Avast" analyzes programs which are seldomly started for about 15 seconds for known attack patterns. Maybe you have something comparable on you machine?

If I open "offline" version, it works with the OpenStreet Maps and MapsForge maps view.
Not a single problem to record.

That means the problem is related to the JavaFX map. Hmm. I wish I had a Mac to debug the problem.

About Eclipse SWT, I tried and a message error appears on the card display.
You'll find below the error messages given.

The Eclipse SWT map requires Apples Java 6 and doesn't work with Oracles Java 7 and 8.
