Dear Rony,
I cannot help you finding the cause of your problem but I can try to run the
program on various machines and collect some stats.
I have downloaded the complete kit and can launch startTestProgressBar.rex
I can see that the rexx program launches Java and the GUI show up with 3
buttons and a progress bar.
What should I do next? I can click the buttons but see no response (except the
buttons frame changing color to blue). I can see rexxworker in the task list
but that is all.
I have tried to click start some 100 times, no crash so far, I suspect I have
something set up incorrectly
Here are the settings for the Machine
macOS Sierra
POs-MacBook-Pro:~ po$ rexx -v
Open Object Rexx Version 5.0.0
Build date: Jul 7 2017
Addressing mode: 64
POs-MacBook-Pro:~ po$ java -version
java version "1.8.0_101"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_101-b13)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.101-b13, mixed mode)
POs-MacBook-Pro:~ po$ rexx -e "call bsf.cls;say ..b4r~version"
600.20170617
When I launch the program from the command line I get the following so I guess
I have something incorrectly set up. Please advice what I should do next.
POs-MacBook-Pro:testapp po$ rexx testprogressbarcontroller
17 *-* myGuiDir=.my.app~testProgressBar.fxml
7 *-* call setupInitializeGUI
