Oxygen XML Forum

I'm installing oXygen on Ubuntu Lucid Lynx and just got as far as entering the license key. That works just fine. The problem is the dialog is rendering at some mad height (several hundred pixels more than the actual display height). So... there appears to be no way for me to hit the OK button after I've entered my key.

Anyone have any idea how I might get round this?

cheers

Hello,

Did you install the 'All platforms' kit(oxygen.tar.gz)?
If that's the case then you are probably running Oxygen with the OpenJDK JRE.

You can either install a JRE from Sun and make it the default(first in PATH and JAVA_HOME): http://java.sun.com/javase/downloads/index.jsp

Or the simpler approach is to use the the Linux installation kit of Oxygen(oxygen.sh) which comes with a bundled JRE from Sun that has been properly tested. You can download it here:

Make sure you get appropriate architecture(32/64 bit) depending on your operating system architecture.

Yes, I'm using openJDK. Does that not work? I know the gcj VM isn't supported but there's no mention of openJDK. That's an interesting situation! I have to use an unsupported (by the OS maintainers) JDK because the supported one is not supported by oXygen!

I'll go reinstall. Thanks.

Hi,

No, OpenJDK isn't supported. I know it was initiated by Sun as an open source version of their own JDK. But unfortunately they managed to break compatibility in OpenJDK with Sun's own Java SE.

But, like I said, to simplify things and not worry about which JRE to get for what, just get the Linux Oxygen installation kit and let it do its thing.

All working just fine now

Thanks Adrian
