Dear Aaron,

there is indeed a simple fix. There is a prebundled Isabelle component for Java, which can be installed (together with all other required components) via

  isabelle components -a

from a command line.

See also


https://isabelle.in.tum.de/community/Working_with_the_repository_version_of_Isabelle

for how to setup the development version. The official documentation for doing so is

  http://isabelle.in.tum.de/repos/isabelle/file/tip/README_REPOSITORY

Remark: Finding the right combination of packages (Poly/ML, Java, Scala, ...) to make Isabelle run is delicate (some even call it an arcane discipline ;)). That is why everything was bundled into Isabelle components, which save the user a lot of work.

cheers

chris

Hi,
I am new to Isabelle/HOL but am wanting to use the development version
on Windows and if not Linux.
I have tried Windows and copying the existing stable release 'contrib'
files across but am getting a message presumably from jEdit that it
requires Java 1.7.
I could not find a Cygwin Java 1.7 build anywhere and have asked on the
Cygwin mailing list, but not received a reply yet.
Also tried Oracle (Sun) Java 1.7 with JDK but am getting the message :-
     Launch4j - "This application was configured to use bundled JRE but
the runtime is missing or corrupted."
On Fedora 17 the Isabelle/HOL stable release ran okay after installing
Java-1.7.0-openjdk for i686.
But with the development version I am getting the message :-
     Unknown ISABELLE_JDK_HOME -- Java tools unavailable.
Not got my debugging head on so hope you do not mind me posing the
question here.
Hoping there is a simple fix for one or both of these problems.
Many thanks in advance,
Aaron
