loadUI 1.5 does not start with Java 7

Hi!

We will look into this as soon as Java 7 is generally available, which should happen later today. Thanks for letting us know!

Hmm... are you manually configuring loadUI to run on your local JRE (Java 7 in your case)? I'm wondering because loadUI is bundled with Java 6 and preconfigured to use that bundled JRE.

Also same problem starting loadUI1.5 and Windows 7.0.

Had a working version of Load UI 1.0 on Windows 7 64bit with the version of Java listed below.

C:\Users\areeves>java -version
java version "1.6.0_26"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_26-b03)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 20.1-b02, mixed mode)

Installed LoadUI 1.5 - Now just get splash screen and locks up never start loadUI.

Installed Soap4.0.0 works fine with this same configuration.

What can I do to get LoadUI 1.5 to work now?

Hi,

Can you try running loadUI with the Java Console activated? To activate it, open the Windows control panel, search for Java, and click on the resulting Java icon to open the Java Control Panel. Click on the Advanced tab, and under Java console, select Show console. Now click Apply and try starting loadUI again. This time, a console window should be displayed. If any error message is printed to the console, please copy that and paste it here so that we can see what is preventing the normal launch. To disable the Java Console again, just follow the above steps again and change the setting back to the original value.

I'm not the OP but here's my console window:

-> Framework started!

I'm not exactly sure what fixed it but here's what I did:

1. Manually installed JavaFX
2. Doing #1 forced me to reinstall the JRE (I was using a version installed by another application)
3. Changed the loadui.bat to loadui.cmd
4. Changed the JAVAWS=/jre/bin/javaws to JAVAWS=\jre\bin\javaws
5. Launched loadui.cmd as an administrator (it did some key creation stuff)

For you that have had java 7 issues, please read this! I think that we have fixed this
