I can't get Roo 1.1.1 to run on my Macintosh

[KingAndrew]

I un-commented the echos in the roo.sh:


JAVA_HOME /System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/CurrentJDK/Home
ROO_CP: /Users/Andrew/springsource/spring-roo-1.1.1.RELEASE/bin/org.apache.felix.framework-2.0.4.jar:/Users/Andrew/springsource/spring-roo-1.1.1.RELEASE/bin/org.springframework.roo.bootstrap-1.1.1.RELEASE.jar
ROO_OSGI_FRAMEWORK_STORAGE: /Users/Andrew/springsource/spring-roo-1.1.1.RELEASE/cache
ROO_AUTO_DEPLOY_DIRECTORY: /Users/Andrew/springsource/spring-roo-1.1.1.RELEASE/bundle

/ /_/ / / / / / / /
/ _, _/ /_/ / /_/ /
/_/ |_|\____/\____/ 1.1.1.RELEASE [rev 156ccd6]

<- It stalls here. I have the following hardware:

Model Name: MacBook Pro
Model Identifier: MacBookPro5,2
Processor Name: Intel Core 2 Duo
Processor Speed: 3.06 GHz
Number Of Processors: 1
Total Number Of Cores: 2
L2 Cache: 6 MB
Memory: 4 GB

any ideas what I'm missing?

Hi Andrew,

What version of Java is currently being used? Have you used any version of Roo prior to 1.1.1? What about if you try passing Roo a script file from the command line? (i.e. "roo script file.txt")? Is it running in a directory that already has source in it?


Thanks,

Peter

Hi Peter,
Thanks for responding. This is actually the first development I'm trying on my mac besides iPhone dev. I've done java dev since '98 but this is a first on a mac.

1) Java jdk 1.6.2
2) My dir is ten-minutes
3) I have not had any roo on my box prior to yesterday.
4) I just tried passing in a file, same results.

Here is the log.roo
// Spring Roo 1.1.1.RELEASE [rev 156ccd6] log opened at 2011-02-06 17:48:53
// Spring Roo 1.1.1.RELEASE [rev 156ccd6] log opened at 2011-02-06 17:54:05

quit
// Spring Roo 1.1.1.RELEASE [rev 156ccd6] log closed at 2011-02-08 04:16:21

I have to ctl-d to close the terminal.

Thanks

Andrew

I just did a sanity check to make sure that java is installed correctly and it seems to be.

>>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)

and to correct my earlier post, the version is 1.6.0_22

If all else fails RTFM!

Last night re-read the install instructions. Here is what I was missing:
"If you use OS X, we strongly recommend the use of the iTerm application for terminal emulation."

Once it did that it works like a charm.
Here is the link for iTerm: http://iterm.sourceforge.net/downloads.shtml

Hi Andrew,

Wow... I didn't even think of that. I use iTerm by default, and hadn't even thought about it when your question popped up. Sorry that I couldn't be of help, but congrats for being persistent and getting to the bottom of it!

I run Roo 1.1.1.RELEASE [rev 156ccd6] under jdk build 1.5.0_26 on OS X 10.5.8 PPC and I use the Terminal app without any problems what so ever.

So possibly this problem is isolated to jdk6 or OS X 10.6. Anyone know for sure?

[klausJ]

Also no problems with terminal.app on above configuration with Roo 1.1.1

That's nice to know. I'm getting an Intel Mac this year.

This also means that the solution with xterm may not be the general answer and not "getting to the bottom of it" necessarily.
BTW, I thought this idea with using iTerm was for the 1.0 release and some problems with colors in the Terminal app. Where in the manual is this recommendation?

That's what is written in the manual. I also didn't recognize nice the first time, when I jumped directly to chapter 1.5. The recommendation is on page 7 in chapter 1.3 Installation (try cmd-F and type "iterm" ). As I understand this, it's just for visual purposes.

However, meanwhile I switched to iTerm, since it's a bit nicer. But not such a big difference (for me).
