Hi All,

I merely want to share my experiences here for others to learn and save time...

I had a hard time getting past the 'assistive devices not enabled dialog' when using SikuliX and finally found the not-so-obvious solution. I am running a java junit test that runs SikuliX from within eclipse on my Mac. I had been using this setup for some time without any problem.

I upgraded to OSX 10.9.4 and upgraded from eclipse Kepler to eclipse Luna.

I started getting that 'assistive devices' dialog from sikulix and could not test anymore. I went to the System Preferences a zilion times. I did the sqlite queries a million times. I added all my java versions there and (in desparation) all the super folders of the java commands as well. No such luck. I spare you all my other experiments... ;-)

Finally the following helped: remove the eclipse entry with sqlite and start the test again. That entered a new eclipse entry in the db that I could finally enable. Finally SikuliX worked again.

What surprised me was:
 - although Sikuli is run in a separate java process, the eclipse entry in the table made the difference. ( Maybe OSX looks up the parent process or to determine the assistive devices authorisation, I have no idea...)
 - although I had an eclipse entry in there it did not work. Evidently the entry was (a) not valid for my new eclipse version and (b) no new entry was added for this version of eclipse. I would regard this as an OSX bug.

Hope this helps others to save some time.

-Tom
