Java/Quicktime problem with Neverending Initialization on a PC
Hi,<br>We have the neverending initialization problem on a brand new Dell laptop running Windows XP 32-bit.<br>After looking at the elan log file, it appears it's a problem with Java and Quicktime for Java. We were running QT 7.5 and Java 1.6, then downgraded to Java 1.50_16 but this made no different. Any thoughts?<br><br>Below is the contents of the log file:<br><br>Nov 3, 2008 3:46:53 PM mpi.eudico.client.annotator.ELAN main<br>INFO: ELAN 3.6.0<br>Nov 3, 2008 3:46:53 PM mpi.eudico.client.annotator.ELAN main<br>INFO: Java version: 1.5.0_11<br>Nov 3, 2008 3:46:53 PM mpi.eudico.client.annotator.ELAN main<br>INFO: Runtime version: 1.5.0_11-b03<br>Nov 3, 2008 3:46:53 PM mpi.eudico.client.annotator.ELAN main<br>INFO: OS name: Windows XP<br>Nov 3, 2008 3:46:53 PM mpi.eudico.client.annotator.ELAN main<br>INFO: OS version: 5.1<br>Nov 3, 2008 3:46:53 PM mpi.eudico.client.annotator.ELAN main<br>INFO: User language: en<br>Nov 3, 2008 3:46:53 PM mpi.eudico.client.annotator.util.SystemInstallationSecurity verifyLibExt<br>INFO: verifying lib/ext C:\PROGRAM FILES\ELAN 3.6.0\JRE\LIB\EXT<br>Nov 3, 2008 3:46:53 PM mpi.eudico.client.annotator.integration.ExternalLauncher start<br>INFO: External launch thread started...<br>Using QT Media Player<br>Exception in thread "AWT-EventQueue-0" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: quicktime/QTException<br> at mpi.eudico.client.annotator.player.PlayerFactory.createQTMediaPlayer(PlayerFactory.java:247)<br> at mpi.eudico.client.annotator.ViewerManager2.createMediaPlayer(ViewerManager2.java:272)<br> at mpi.eudico.client.annotator.linkedmedia.MediaDescriptorUtil.createMediaPlayers(MediaDescriptorUtil.java:410)<br> at mpi.eudico.client.annotator.ElanFrame2.initElan(ElanFrame2.java:639)<br> at mpi.eudico.client.annotator.ElanFrame2.openEAF(ElanFrame2.java:352)<br> at mpi.eudico.client.annotator.ElanFrame2.openEAF(ElanFrame2.java:368)<br> at mpi.eudico.client.annotator.ElanFrame2$1.run(ElanFrame2.java:221)<br> at java.awt.event.InvocationEvent.dispatch(Unknown Source)<br> at java.awt.EventQueue.dispatchEvent(Unknown Source)<br> at java.awt.EventDispatchThread.pumpOneEventForHierarchy(Unknown Source)<br> at java.awt.EventDispatchThread.pumpEventsForHierarchy(Unknown Source)<br> at java.awt.EventDispatchThread.pumpEvents(Unknown Source)<br> at java.awt.EventDispatchThread.pumpEvents(Unknown Source)<br> at java.awt.EventDispatchThread.run(Unknown Source)<br>Nov 3, 2008 3:49:36 PM mpi.eudico.client.annotator.integration.ExternalLauncher$LaunchThread run<br>INFO: Launch thread interrupted...<br>Nov 3, 2008 3:49:36 PM mpi.eudico.client.annotator.integration.ExternalLauncher stop<br>INFO: External launch thread stopped...<br><br>
Re: Java/Quicktime problem with Neverending Initialization on a PC
Could it be that QuickTime has been installed or updated after the installation of ELAN? If so, then please re-install ELAN. The installer tries to detect where QT is installed, adds some libraries to ELAN's "classpath" and creates a policy file
to overcome permission problems.
The error messages indicate that the QT for Java libraries are not found. Normally they can be found in something like
C:\Program Files\QuickTime\QTSystem\
and then
QTJava.zip (and some related files).
If these files are not on your system you can try to manually update QT with the QT for Java stuff.
By the way, by default ELAN uses its "own" Java runtime environment (JRE), which is installled in ELAN's install directory.
