B4J Question [ABMaterial] GridBuilder and Java11

[janderkan]

On Java 11 it is not possible to run a .jar file .
I tried pack it with B4JPackager11 but I only get a blank window.
This is the output from run_debug.bat

C:\2Work\1C\B4J\B4JPackager11\Objects\temp\build\bin>java.exe @release_java_modules.txt -m b4j/com.ab.main

Is the source code available? Does it work when running from the IDE?

No I dont have the source code, but in post #21 of this thread, AlwaysBusy states that you have the source code.

 

[Erel]

Lets wait for @alwaysbusy to try it with Java 11 from the IDE.

 

[alwaysbusy]

Here is the source code. It does use a custom library I wrote (ABCanvas) but for the moment I don't seem to be able to locate the source code for this library. I will have to dive into my backups of 2016.

 

[janderkan]

Lets wait for @alwaysbusy to try it with Java 11 from the IDE.

Received the source from alwaysbusy, it works fine when started from IDE, but the error from run_debug.bat is the same.

 

[Erel]

Does it work if you remove this line:
#VirtualMachineArgs: -Dprism.order=sw
?

 

[janderkan]

Does it work if you remove this line:
#VirtualMachineArgs: -Dprism.order=sw
?

Then it will not even work in the IDE.

 

[Erel]

This is the problem. You need to modify B4JPackager 11 and add it here:
Line 281:

p.StartInfo.Arguments = "@release_java_modules.txt -Dprism.order=sw -m ${TargetModule}/${PackageName}.main";

 

[OliverA]

This is the problem. You need to modify B4JPackager 11 and add it here:

In my case, in order for run_debug to work I also change line 297 to

java.exe @release_java_modules.txt -Dprism.order=sw -m ${TargetModule}/${PackageName}.main

Does this need to a future option for B4JPackager where you can select if JavaFX should use the graphics card or not? Or enable additional command line arguments?

 

[Erel]

Or enable additional command line arguments?

This will be added.

WORKS PERFECT.
Thank You

This will be added.

Done.

[janderkan]

Done.

I am sorry to tell you that you only changed line 297 and forgot line 281

 

[Erel]

The relevant line is 283 and it was changed:

 

[janderkan]

The relevant line is 283 and it was changed:

Please look at post #9

p.StartInfo.Arguments = "@release_java_modules.txt -Dprism.order=sw -m ${TargetModule}/${PackageName}.main";

In release 1.13 Run does not work, Run_debug works.
Adding both line 281 and 297 , Run and Run_debug works.

 

[OliverA]

Please look at post #9

I've tested the new version of B4JPackager (v 1.13) and it works correctly for this case. The only thing you have to add manually to run_debug.bat is the -dark command line parameter (if you want dark mode - which seems to be the preferred mode for ABMGruidBuilder). For run.exe, use it with the -dark command line argument. Alternative would be again to change B4JPackager's code to include -dark command line option (in the same places (with new line numbers) as this fix). Either that, or @Erel produces another B4JPackager11 that allows for command line arguments.

I used v 1.12 and I got the error i post #1
I changed line 281 and 297 and it worked great.
With v1.13 I am back to the same error.

 

[OliverA]

Did you change the VMArgs global variable (in B4JPackager11) to:

Private VMArgs As String = "-Dprism.order=sw"

 

[janderkan]

Did you change the VMArgs global variable (in B4JPackager11) to:

Private VMArgs As String = "-Dprism.order=sw"

This is new info, you cannot find it in this thread.
This is the code from v1.13

   Private VMArgs As String

So if you run from IDE it does not work, no command line arguments.

Adding your change it works fine.
