Title:
  [1.1.0-Beta1] Using find(text) or findText(text) does not initialize
  Tesseract correctly - workaround --- fixed with Beta2

Status in Sikuli:
  Fix Committed

Bug description:
  ********* workaround

  with Java:
  org.sikuli.basics.Settings.OcrTextRead = true;
  org.sikuli.basics.Settings.OcrTextSearch = true;
  (new Region(0,0,20,20)).text() // this triggers the Tesseract initialization

  with Python scripting
  Settings.OcrTextRead = True;
  Settings.OcrTextSearch = True;
  Region(0,0,20,20).text() # this triggers the Tesseract initialization

  Hi,
  after trying out the Sikuli IDE with python I wanted to try the java version.
  Based on the available documentation (and some answers to previously asked questions) the sikuli-java.jar (or with the new version sikulixapi.jar) from the SikuliX.app folder should be directly referenced within the project (I'm using Eclipse).

  Unfortunately I didn't find an explanation how to get the .app for the
  beta version 1.1.0. I've tried the installation via
  sikulixsetup-1.1.jar and selected all options. No IDE is being build.

  The same applies when I build from source code via mvn clean install.

  So I've tried linking the sikulixapi.jar from the SikuliX folder (the one where I've executed the setup).
  I am now getting following error message:

  Error opening data file tessdata/tessdata/eng.traineddata
  Please make sure the TESSDATA_PREFIX environment variable is set to the parent directory of your "tessdata" directory.
  Failed loading language 'eng'
  Tesseract couldn't load any languages!

  I have to say that opening of system preferences is working (via App.open("System Preferences.app");).
  What is not working is text recognition (which explains why the program is looking for tessdata).

  Here's my question: how should the environment be set up on MAC in
  order to execute the TestNG test ideally without external dependencies
  (for Continuous Integration systems)?

  Thanks in advance.
