#556 Sometimes GP does not start
Hi,
sometimes launching ganttproject.bat on my XP system
stops a this step (see screenshot).
I installed the Zip distribution, not the Win installer.
Closing console window and restarting makes the program
launch.

Ah. I may have some further insight. I went back and
looked at some of your notes. Are you still developing in
the now-long-obsolete 1.4.x Java SDK? I reinstalled the
1.4.12 run-time and things have been a bit smoother. But
that would not explain why the failure to completely load
was only intermittent, would it? I'd putz around with this
some more (I really do want a simpler alternative to
SureTrack...), but I have a project plan due....

Code is compiled using JDK 1.4 but it can be run under both
JRE 1.4.x and JRE 1.5.x (I personally even recommend 1.5.x)
I don't think that this problem depends on JRE version
I've had a similar problem when launching on Linux. The first time it launches it's fine, but then it hangs on the splash screen. I had to delete the preferences and it would run again. I fixed it by giving more memory to the program in the batch script changing the line:
$JAVA_COMMAND -Xmx256m -classpath $CLASSPATH:$LOCAL_CLASSPATH $BOOT_CLASS $CONFIGURATION_FILE -log $LOG_FILE "$@"
to:
$JAVA_COMMAND -Xmx512m -classpath $CLASSPATH:$LOCAL_CLASSPATH $BOOT_CLASS $CONFIGURATION_FILE -log $LOG_FILE "$@"
Cheers,
Andres
