Re: Re: ELAN 2.5.1 / ELAN 3.0 on MacBook Pro
When I ran the terminal command to check the version of Java I got the following -
Harrys-17:~ harryharm$ java -version
java version "1.4.2_09"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.4.2_09-239)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.4.2-66, mixed mode)
I have tried deleting the Java preferences files in the two libraries and then ran Java preferences again to make sure that I had the right order. Terminal still returns 1.4.2_09.
However, I have some good news. I removed the xerces.jar file from the /users/harryharm/library/java/extensions/ folder and started ELAN 3.0. All of my tiers are back again.
Thank you, Han, for this advice.
BTW, here is the information on my xerces.jar file -

If I open an EAF file, close it but leave ELAN 3.0 running and then try to open the same or another EAF file I get the "initializing" error I got in 2.5.1. The same "initializing" error happens if I try to try to open a second EAF file without closing the first one.
I just checked ELAN 2.5.1 and it still has the "initializing" error.
The webstart version of ELAN 3.0 exhibits the same behavior as the regular ELAN 3.0.
I tried removing the other .JAR files in the extensions folder which were marked by Java Console as possible problems to see whether that would help but it didn't.
However, I am happy that I can at least use ELAN again.

Well then, it will now be necessary to have a look at the complete output in the Java console (Webstart version) and/or the log file (regular ELAN) as it is after you get the 'initializing' error. To view the contents of the log file you'll probably have to quit ELAN first. In an earlier post I have described where to find the log file and how to view it's contents.
