Summary changed to:
[HowTo] node-java : Using SikuliX features through API --- tipps and tricks

Description changed to:
------------------------ Mac: Instantiating SikuliX class hangs: solution (from comment #12)
Adding:

process.env['JAVA_STARTED_ON_FIRST_THREAD_' + process.pid] = '1'

before instantiating any Sikuli classes through node got it working. :)

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

I'm using the node-java module (https://github.com/joeferner/node-java)
as a bridge between some nodejs test scripts and the SikuliX Java API.
It's working great on Windows, but when I try to run the same scripts on
Mac, it hangs at the first point where it tries to instantiate any class
from SikuliX. Specifically, it opens up a little GUI app whose label is
just "bin" and which has no windows; command-clicking to see its
location takes me to /usr/local/bin (which raises more questions than it
answers). When I force quit the app, the script doesn't resume, it just
ends.

Using the API and the command line tool work fine (although of course
they're not compatible with my Node scripts) -- and using node-java with
any other Java package on Mac also works fine. So neither one is broken
alone, and I'm not sure what about the combination causes this error. I
realize how much of an edge case this is, but any suggestions about what
might be going on or where I could look would be much appreciated.

I've tried SikuliX 1.1.1 and 1.1.2, in both cases by completing the
setup normally (taking options #1 and #2) and then copying the generated
sikulixapi.jar into the folder I'm working in. Java JDK version is
1.8.0, macOS 10.13.3.
