[Bug 1044637] Re: X-1.0rc3: IDE does not start or crashes with java 7 --- java 7 not yet supported --- workaround

 

raiman,
thanks for your hard work. i really appreciate it. i have been using 1.0.0 successfully with jre7 for quite a while now.

fyi here is a broad description of my application which needs to take
info from an email and put it into a row in a spreadsheet.

1. the app starts thunderbird and excel.
2. positions to activate source folder in tbird quickfolders.
3. selects an email, and places the entire contents into the windows clipboard.
4. saves the mouse location of the selected email.
5. switches to excel
6. runs a macro which does the transformation of the info in the clipboard to the next available row in the sheet.
7.  switches back to tbird.
8. drags the just processed email out of the current folder using the saved mouse location.
9. repositions and repeats the action from step 3 until all emails are processed.

i have left out a lot of detail, but believe me the work that i did to
figure this out has saved my life. i was able to handle over 1300 emails
without much manual effort! i am so glad that i found sikuli when i went
searching for a macro system that would work for my situation. it
deserves recognition and all the developers deserve kudos. thanks again.
-bernie

  supported --- workaround

Status in Sikuli:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  ***** workaround

  faq 1958

  -----------------------------------------------

  i am running win 7 home premium 64bit.
  java 7 u6 has an exploit apparently fixed by java 7 u7
  There is a security fix for Java per
  http://krebsonsecurity.com/2012/08/security-fix-for-critical-java-flaw-released/
  i installed java 7 which apparently deleted the contents of the java 6 subfolder "bin" and now the ide won't even start.
  i need to continue with ide rc3 but don't want to install java 6 back on my computers.

  is there a solution?
