problems with Java SE and Parallels 3

[coldrick]

Appear to be problems, at least with a winXP guest. For example, if I try "java -jar glassfish-installer-v2-b41d.jar" (glassfish from https://glassfish.dev.java.net), a dialog comes up without any content, and the install does not continue (see attached screenshot).

This happens with both jdk 1.5.0_12 and 1.6.0_01. Since the main reason for me to use Parallels is so that I can demo/ use jdk6, this is a bit of a showstopper.

The previous build of Parallels (3188?) had no such problem, at least with Vista.

In one of the installation steps page, the commandline has an additional parameter:

% java -Xmx256m -jar filename.jar

I hope this works.

Not a Parallels bug - glassfish installed fine for me on an XP guest. Have you tried Lamski's suggestion?

 

[coldrick]

Yes, I'm aware of the "-Xmx256m" suggestion: however, that actually is not required for v2+ of glassfish.

Just to make sure, I tried it, and had exactly the same results.

buzzdat, was your successful install with v2??

You probably have DirectX support enabled, try disabling it.

this is a known problem with directx enabled.

OK, turned DirectX off, and it worked. Weird.

Thanks and regards,
