Hi Magnus, Did you downloaded from github? The project in sourceforge is dead and only works with old java versions. I forked it in github https://github.com/capape/observation-manager/releases It's not a final version, I try to maintain it in my free time, but it works with java 11. Regards, Antonio.

Hi! Just found and downloaded this program. Unzipped the package and tried running obs.sh, and I get this error: $ ./obs.sh Starting ObservationManager -Djava.ext.dirs=./lib is not supported. Use -classpath instead. Error: Could not create the Java Virtual Machine. Error: A fatal exception has occurred. Program will exit. Any ideas on this (assuming the project is alive...)?

I used Eclipse / AdoptOpenJDK and it works flawlessly on Windows10! Thanks
Works great! I haven't put it through all its paces; I'm just getting started on Variable Star work. I was likely unclear in my previous post. The old version (2015) did not work under Java 11. Thanks, Bob
Hi Bob, Did you download the last release candidate version from github fork? https://github.com/capape/observation-manager/releases/tag/v1.6.0-RC2 If so, it should work with java 11. You don't need to compile anything, simply unzip and run it. Anyway take into account that it is an unstable version, it has bugs. It it does not work for you, please fill a bug in github project. Best regards
Brett -- Are you using the newer version or the older version that starts with the obs.sh command. I can't get that to work with Java 11. Thanks.
Hi. Downloaded the latest version and everything "compiled" OK. Question: is there an easy way to start the program? I can go down multiple levels and type java -jar <long name="" file=""> . The older version does not work on my JDK11 version on Ubuntu. Thanks.</long>
Great to see somebody taking care of that project and a big thank you! Im using the application for quite a while now on linux and like it very much! Have a great day, Ralph
Fixed windows version now.
Hi everyone, I made a testing release on my fork in github. A lot of work to be done yet. You can download it from https://github.com/capape/observation-manager/releases Windows version is failing on launch (I'll try to fix it ) and mac version needs to be launched from Terminal.app, but linux version is launching without problems. I made internal refactor mainly to learn about how code is done. Please if you find issues report them in github. Antonio Capapé

Many thanks! I'l follow this thread Kevin
In mac. After download the program, unzip it to a folder. Open a terminal and go to that folder. Execute sh obs.command. In my case: MinideApapeGil2:~ antonio$ cd /Users/antonio/Downloads/observationManager MinideApapeGil2:observationManager antonio$ sh obs.command Starting ObservationManager ...
Hi Kevin, I've forked this project in github, and I'm going to try to continue with the project. By now I'm learning how source code is organized before starting to work on it. If I get any progress I'll post here.
Agh! Just seen the name of the file is the root of the tree on the left.. one down - two to go? :)
Hi, I have tried a few software approaches to logging, and this looks to be the best so far! But, as the previous poster said, it appears to be discontinued... shame... I think I can use 'as is', but if there were a couple of small tweaks available I would say (i) larger fonts (I tried altering the .xls files but didnt make any difference) (ii) The preferences seem to get lost (iii) Name the file currently open in the menu bar (or somewhere) (I will use several log files) Cheers
Hi Denny, You should download the program, unzip it . After that execute obs.bat for windows, obs.sh for linux. I'll check how to launch for Mac and tell you Anyway, before that you need java installed in your PC. I test the software and, at least in linux, does not work for version later than java 8. Regards
At the moment I see only CCD cameras allowed. Please add the possibility to add a DSLR as imaging equipment. Dietrich
can someone explain to me (I'm not technical enough to know) how I actually install Observation Manager as a standalone program on Mac or Windows please? Can it also be installed on an ipad? Thanks Dennis
Hi everyone, I've just download this software, but it seems to be discontinued, doesn't it? By the way. It doesn't launch, at least for linux, for java versions higher than 8. For java 8, I needed to change obs.sh to execute java command in this way: java -classpath "$DIR/lib/*" de.lehmannet.om.ui.navigation.ObservationManager $@ I hope this helps someone. Regards. -- José Antonio Capapé Gil
Try to change obs.sh to launch in this way java -classpath "$DIR/lib/*" de.lehmannet.om.ui.navigation.ObservationManager $@
Hi! When I try to execute it, an error appears: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: de.lehmannet.om.ui.navigation.ObservationManager My OS is Linux Mint 19 32bits Thanks!!
I have to get in here also. I do have everything installed in German language. When I add a new observation the date format is mm/dd/yy. However, we do not use this format in Germany either. Is there a way to set it to the right date format? Thank you and keep up the good work.

Unable to figure out the correct command line to start this on OS X. Error message says -Djava.ext.dirs should be replaced with classpath. Can anyone supply the correct incantation please?
Can I add custom target typpes to Observation Manager? I would like to do so...
How can I run the program online on your website? Is it possible?
