Designer and OS X /Java 7

Hi,

I’ve the following setup :

  • Ignition 7.5.6 installed on a Windows 7 workstation
  • my laptop with OS X 10.8.3, Java 7 build 1.7.0_17-b02

I can connect to gateway page and launch the Designer.

When I want to edit a tag, the tag editor windows always lost the focus (the main designer windows get it) so I cannot create/edit a tag.

Do you have a solution, except to go back to Java 6 ?

I can replicate this, I’ll pass it along and make sure it gets fixed.

Nice, Thank you.

Can you confirm that the more recent Java 7 releases do not have this issue? Seems like Oracle fixed this, as we can no longer reproduce it

Carl,

With Java 1.7.0_25, it is working like a charm :wink:

Excellent, that’s what we thought too. :thumb_right:

I love it when Oracle fixes things!

Yes, but what about the wrong jnlp launch… Oracle, Apache or IA ?

java-vm-args="-XX:MaxPermSize=128m"

This is an Oracle issue. We’ll be side-stepping it soon by introducing ‘native’ client launchers that don’t rely on WebStart.
