I'm at the school right now trying to get two of their computers working so
we'll have enough for all the students to pair up 2 to a computer. All of
their computers have been updated to the latest Java 10.4 Release 8.
Mozswing installs and I see the penguin guy but when I launch a project it
gives me this error
XULRunner home: not resolved
Profile directory: not used
Platform: OSX
Java: 1.5.0_16-132, "Apple Computer, Inc."
--------------------------------------------------
java.io.IOException: Unable to resolve XULRunner home location

org.mozilla.browser.MozillaInitialization.initialize(MozillaInitialization.java:92)

at org.mozilla.browser.MozillaPanel.<init>(MozillaPanel.java:116)
at sun.reflect.NativeConstructorAccessorImpl.newInstance0(Native Method)
So I've been trying to mess around with the java preferences with the tool
that you linked to. What should I be looking at within the tool?
I've compared the entry /org/mozdev/mozswing/xulrunner/Mozilla XULRunner
1.8.1.4_0000000000 (in the System tab) on a computer that has mozswing
working in the project with a computer that does NOT have mozswing working
in the project, here's the difference between the two
project working mozswing
/Users/support/Library/Caches/Java/cache/javaws/ext/E1242068760060/RMmozswing-xulrunner-macosx-ppc/native/macosx/xulrunner
project NOT working mozswing
/Users/support/Library/Caches/Java/cache/javaws/ext/E1242074762505/mozswing-native/native/macosx/xulrunner
On the NOT working mozswing, I tried changing the entry value to use the
../RMmozswing-xulrunner-macosx-ppc/.. directory instead of mozswing-native
(as well as changed the actual directory name on the hard drive) but it
still didn't work.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Geoff
