Re: [Jsynthlib-devel] can't open preferences window [SOLVED]

SourceForge Headquarters 1320 Columbia Street Suite 310 San Diego, CA 92101 +1 (858) 422-6466

Ok, now it works again.
I removed the folder /home/peter/.java/deployment and all its
subdirectories, and also the
folder created by running JSynthLib: /home/peter/.java/.userPrefs and all
its subdirectories.
Now I can open the preferences window again, and JSynthLib version 0.20.0
doesn't give an error dialog anymore, also not on the first time I loaded
it. It just creates the .userPrefs folder with the *.user.lock.peter*
and *.userRootModFile.peter
files* and org folder containing a prefs.xml file and hte rest of
subdirectories and prefs.xml files.

In case it's of any use,
I think the file /home/peter/.java/deployment/deployment.properties was
responsible:

#deployment.properties

deployment.javaws.jre.0.location=http\://java.sun.com/products/autodl/j2se
deployment.javaws.jre.0.enabled=true
deployment.javaws.jre.0.args=

I guess I've messed up that file by installing too many different java
versions: sun-java, openjdk, and different versions ...

Finally I can go back to writing my driver :-)

Happy summertime ;-)
