Problem with Java?

[497902]

I have a little problem with one of my applications. The application is very important for me and I need it nearly every day. But now it shows my an error message. 'JVM terminated. Exit code=-1' [...]

I'm using Mac OS X 10.6.4 and my system is up to date. I need help, please...

Problem with Java?

Yes, seems like you have a Java problem.

Yes, seems like you have a Java problem.

Okay, how can I fix it now? By reinstalling Snow Leopard? If yes, how can I do it without losing data?

You have yet to demonstrate that you actually have a technical problem.

Open Console (Applications -> Utilities -> Console) and click on system.log.

Run your program and see if anything shows up.

Also look in ~/Library/Logs/Java Console.log and /Library/Logs/Java

Result:

I can't find Java and Java Console.log in this folder.

Try this it should help show up the java log you are missing.

Open Console.app (in Applications/Utilities

Select ~/Library/Java Console.log

It should show the java log required simply copy it and paste it in another post if it is to big make two posts.

I am interested to see what the cause is.

 

[497902]

Select ~/Library/Java Console.log

It's not there.

 

[robert05au]

Can you try searching with spotlight for the Java Console.log to see if it shows anything up.

 

[497902]

Nothing - No Results.

There is a possibility that your java install is corrupted. Which version or update have you installed? eg: update 2 or update 3 for 10.6.4

Yes I think so...

Which version or update have you installed? eg: update 2 or update 3 for 10.6.4

I don't know exactly, but I think it was update 3.

Try downloading the installer - http://support.apple.com/kb/DL972 - and running it. That might help.

Edit: Actually, before you do that - you're running Eclipse? First check if java is ok. Open a Terminal and type: java -version

You should see something like:

$ java -version
java version "1.6.0_22"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_22-b04-307-10M3261)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 17.1-b03-307, mixed mode)

If that works, it's likely a problem with Eclipse. It would be easier to completely remove and reinstall that first.

 

[497902]

It shows me: 'Unable to locate a Java Runtime to invoke.'

The update is now installed, but I have still this problem.

Ok, what do you get if you type:
ls -la /System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions

It should look like:

$ ls -la /System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions
