Java Startup error on Mac

[javamad]

Hi,

I had a REW working on my Mac and decided to upgrade to the latest. I downloaded version 5.17 for mac and I started to get an error:

I decided to update my Java to JRE 8 ... but I am still getting an error. I later saw that REW included its own JRE.

Any help appreciated.

The latest release is 5.18 and the latest beta is 5.19 beta 7a (available from the Downloads section of the forum). Try 5.19 beta 7a, if that won't start you will need to remove the REW preferences in ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.java.utils.prefs.plist, the error indicates that a preference value has ended up outside the valid range.

HI,
I looked at that file and its a binary file, so I can't edit it.

I lhave looked at the java control panel and there is no option to edit preferences there

Should I remove it?

You can edit plist files in Xcode, but it should also be safe to just rename the file. Any other Java apps that have stored preferences would then lose them, but that would just mean resetting to the default values.

Hi,

Renaming the file did the trick. Many thanks
