Status of Version 0.8.0-beta2 tried on macOS Monterey (12.6.6)

[PoC-dev]

When trying to run 0.8.0-beta2 for MacOS X on macOS Monterey (12.6.6), I get the error message "The Application 'Tn5250j' cannot be opened."

Having a closer look, it appears that just the execute-flags are missing from Tn5250j.app/Contents/MacOS/universalJavaApplicationStub. Fixing with chmod +x brings up the familiar dialog about unsigned applications.

That can be fixed by right-clicking and choosing "open" in the contextual popup menu. Now, I get the error that no suitable Java version wasn't found on my system.

I have updated just now to the latest OpenJDK11U-jdk_x64_mac_hotspot_11.0.19_7.pkg:

imini:MacOS poc$ java --version
openjdk 11.0.19 2023-04-18
OpenJDK Runtime Environment Temurin-11.0.19+7 (build 11.0.19+7)
OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM Temurin-11.0.19+7 (build 11.0.19+7, mixed mode)

I have a local install of Cisco ASDM, and IBM iACS, both running just fine with the installed and updated Java. Not sure what I can do from here?

Note: The same eventual error (no suitable Java) happens with 0.7.6.

I have a few Java versions installed on my MacOS Ventura and tried versions 8, 11 and 17 - all they work as well.

Just stating "works for me" with just few additional details does not help too much. ;-) Are we talking about Oracle java, or free versions, such as OpenJDK? What is the output of your java --version? Also, what about the missing execute flag? :wq! PoC

@PoC-dev

Where have you downloaded your Version? How/where exactly do you get the error message? Could you provide a screenshot?

Have you tried to start the tn5250j.jar from Terminal with java -jar tn5250.jar? How does your JAVA_HOME environment variable look like?

Maybe duplicate issue

On the project's main page https://github.com/tn5250j/tn5250j in the "Releases" section.

How/where exactly do you get the error message?

After unpacking tn5250j-0.8.0-beta2.osx-app.zip, I double-click the resulting application icon and get the error message from the Finder "The application 'Tn5250j' cannot be opened". I translated this from German, because I'm using a German OS. I can only click "OK".

Could you provide a screenshot?

Not sure if this is helpful due to German language. Will do, to.

I'm sorry to not have mentioned that right from the start. Yes, this works. Although I'm getting these warnings: WARNING: An illegal reflective access operation has occurred WARNING: Illegal reflective access by org.tn5250j.gui.AppleApplicationTools (file:/Users/poc/Desktop/Tn5250j.app/Contents/Resources/Java/tn5250j.jar) to method com.apple.eawt.Application.getApplication() WARNING: Please consider reporting this to the maintainers of org.tn5250j.gui.AppleApplicationTools WARNING: Use --illegal-access=warn to enable warnings of further illegal reflective access operations WARNING: All illegal access operations will be denied in a future release

How does your JAVA_HOME environment variable look like?

For an ordinary shell, there is none. I don't know nothing about Java. To me it seems to be a necessary nuisance. ;-) Again, Cisco ASDM and IBM iAccess work fine. :wq! PoC

Huh! I did not see that, sorry! I can confirm that the solution shown by jamespullman works for both versions 0.8 and 0.7.6. :wq! PoC

Apparently, attachments on mails aren't handled by GitHub. Sorry!

Anyway, as said, the solution in #82 works for me, too. I'm running on Intel and observed the described problems with macOS 11 and 12. So the heading of #82 might be misleading.

Thanks!
