Re: [Exist-open] ExistDB 4.10 and Java 11 problems

[Mansell, G. <Gar...@ri...>]

So my startup issue is not related to Java 11 as I have just tried it on a Windows machine with only Oracle Java 8_202 (x64), and still I cannot start the Windows Task tray applet from the Exist-DB Programs menu.

I have done the install directly as Local Admin and the menu icon to start exist-db does not work. When I then try and run (the start.jar) from the command line, I can see this error in the console:

If I run from the command line with Startup.bat - this works and I can also now Add and Start the Windows Service (this did not work before) - it is just the Windows Task Tray icon (start.jar) that does not work now.

Any suggestions - it would really be nice for this important functionality to work?

Thanks

Gary
