NullPointerException

[lexi]

Hi there.

I've just downloaded Oxygen 3.1. I'm trying to start it, see the splash screen, then it disappears and that's it.
I've tried installing both with-JRE and standalone versions.

Operating system is:
Microsoft Windows 2000 [Version 5.00.2195]

Stacktrace with built-in JRE:

Built-in JRE version is (well, you already know this):

java version "1.4.2"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.4.2-b28)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.4.2-b28, mixed mode)

Any suggestions?

Bye.

Hi,

This is a Java 1.4 related problem and we implemented a fix in the oXygen 4.0 release. As can be seen from the stacktrace the NPE appears on the JFileChooser constructor and it is a problem with finding the standard file chooser dialog images.

There are two options further:
1. Edit the oxygen.bat/oxygen.lax to use java 1.3
2. Wait for the oXygen 4.0

Best Regards,
George
