B4J Question Missing Components when running on MAC?

[Alberto Iglesias]

Somebody knows if when running an app created by B4J on a MAC need install something else?

Because the same .jar running on Windows, You can see every components (button, listview, images, etc) and when running on a Mac this components not showing.

Look the screenshots with the same .jar running on both OS (windows and mac)

My sample is attach in this post.....

Reinstall VMWARE, even try another version or solution. We're getting closer to locate the problem

 

[ThRuST]

yes make a fresh new install set everything up then compare settings with the machine that works, the post your report

 

[Alberto Iglesias]

I have the latest version of vmware and this is an paided version! But ok... I will try that too

 

[ThRuST]

Did you make it work?

 

[Alberto Iglesias]

Not yet! I will try tomorrow... today was a busy day for me.. I will report to you after that

 

[Erel]

You can upload the jar file and we can try it here.

Hello Erel,

I saw a lot of sites with some incompatible between Java and VMWARE.

I don't know if this is true, i'm investigating about that.

The jar file is attached! In 3 real mac works.... but in this vmware, not!

Have you tried playing with the vmware 3D acceleration settings?

 

[Alberto Iglesias]

I tried this before, but for this type of OS, 3D is not compatible

When you say VMWare what are you referring to? ESXi, Fusion or Workstation Pro?

 

[Alberto Iglesias]

 

[keirS]

First thing is you are not running the latest build of Workstation Pro so I would update it as a first step.

 

[Alberto Iglesias]

Do you have any virtual MACOSX running on your VMWARE?

I ask because I don't think is with version, I saw a lot of discutions about this acceleration 3D for MAC OS, and everyone says is not compatible.

And this new update now tell nothing related about this.

If you have installed, can you try running this little jar?

 

[Erel]

It works properly on a real Mac.

 

[Alberto Iglesias]

Yes, I tried in 3 different real MAC and works perfectly!

I think is something related with JAVAFX.... I trying a couple of things

 

[ThRuST]

@Alberto Iglesias I think you should let go of the VMWARE and use B4J without it. Compile your work then just run it on a REAL Mac. That will solve everything.

 

[Alberto Iglesias]

Thats too easy.... but I dont think so.... First I need to understand how is the root of problem. Second, I have this virtual machine just for automation porpouses and I need to use that one.

Don't worry, I will find the way!


thanks

I don't have a OSX VM at the moment unfortunately.

 

[Alberto Iglesias]

Definitely is something with java/javafx.. Apps created with XCODE, work properly, with B4J no (observed for now just in this virtual machine)

I tried to install SCENE BUILDER (http://gluonhq.com/products/scene-builder) and the behavior is the same, show the screen, but no components

Point to note here is "VMware is not a certified hypervisor." So it not working is not really a Java issue as Oracle don't certify that it will work.
