ExceptionInInitializerError

#1

that’s what i get when launching my app via java web start, the line causing the error is:
SimpleUniverse u = new SimpleUniverse();
and this is not simplified!!!
it’s the second line in my main method!!! the first just prints “starting…” and works.
I’m driving crazy! >:( :’(

If you’ve a bit courage, you can web start it (6mb).
(Does it work on your machine? Do you have the same error?)

And who has an idea why this happen?!? ???

#2

works fine

#3

what?! really?! :o ??? :o

bump… why on earth doesn’t it work here then?! :-X

#4

Just the app is launched 3 times.

Maybe it’s because I have Java3D installed?

#5

The webpage tells me to download java webstart when running mozilla 1.6, eventhough I have it installed :).
It starts on IE though and there I get this (I don’t hava Java Java3D installed if that was required).

doh! didn’t notice I was in the java3d forum. Hope it might be of some help anyway :stuck_out_tongue:

#6

I found where it went wrong (but not why). It seems either java3d doesn’t like to be loaded in a sub jnlp file, or this sub jnlp file was wrong. I don’t know.
Anyway, it seems to work when everything is put in one jnlp file.

#7

I am having this same exact problem. I have the java3d jars in a seperate jnlp file (this file contains all the jars that are not signed like jinput for instance). Does the j3d jars need to be signed and have all-permissions set? If so, why?

Thanks

Here is my error …

I still wasn’t ever able to figure out what was going on; however, the nice folks at sun seem to have a jnlp and bandwidth for downloading it.
So instead of deploying your own J3D, just use the following in your jnlp file.
