Error starting Jira on Mac OS X Yosemite - java

I have been running Jira 6.1.5 on a Mac mini with OS X Mavericks and Java 7 for some time. This has been working just fine.
However, recently I updated the OS to Yosemite (10.10.3) and also installed Java 8. But now Jira refuses to start up.
If I execute:
sudo ./start-jira.sh
Jira appears to start as normally but then fails with:
Server startup logs are located in /Users/Michael/JIRA/logs/catalina.out
Neither the JAVA_HOME nor the JRE_HOME environment variable is defined
At least one of these environment variable is needed to run this program
I have tried to execute:
export JAVA_HOME='/usr/libexec/java_home -v 1.8'
but this doesn't seem to make any difference.
There are no logs in /Users/Michael/JIRA/logs/ at all.
Any help is appreciated :-)

I found a solution. I added:
export JAVA_HOME='/usr/libexec/java_home -v 1.7'
to the beginning of ~/JIRA/bin/start-jira.sh
I guess only Java 1.7 was registered. For some reason it couldn't accept -v 1.8.

Unable to locate an executable at "/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk-11.0.4.jdk/Contents/Home/bin/apt" (-1) when running sudo

When I run
sudo apt install gzip
I get the following error:
Unable to locate an executable at "/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk-11.0.4.jdk/Contents/Home/bin/apt" (-1)
None of the solutions from other questions solves the problem.
I think that the apt tool is not present anymore in the java version you have.
Try using referece
npm install node-gzip --save
I suggest you read the original answer given by #Axel to a similar question.
For simplicity, I quote it here:
Sorry, I just saw what's wrong...
There used to be an apt tool in Java, but it's gone now. Your
mistake is using the linux command line. On many linux systems,
another tool called apt is used for installing software.
Check the npm documentation on how to install nom on your Mac, as
there are different ways to do it.
Once npm is installed, run sudo npm install -g express-generator
(no apt here).
Explanation of the error message
The Java apt-tool was removed in JDK 8. But as JAVA_HOME/bin is normally not on your PATH on Mac, apple provides simple wrappers
for all the commands under JAVA_HOME. There still is such a wrapper
for apt that tries to run a program with the same name from your
Java installation. That's why you get that error message.
conflict between the pre-installed macOS Java-Version and the Orcalce Java-Version:
Apple stopped pre-installing Java in macOS 10.7 so this should not be an issue.
difference between java_home and JAVA_HOME:
JAVA_HOME is an environment variable that points to your Java installation. java_home is a utility program in macOS that makes it
easier to correctly set up your JAVA_HOME by listing installed Java
versions and the values to use for JAVA_HOME.

Eclipse MemoryAnalyzer and sdkman

I am trying to run Eclipse MemoryAnalyzer on my Mac 10.13.6 (High Siena). When I start it, I get a message that reads
To open "MemoryAnalyzer" you need to install the legacy Java SE 6 runtime
There are several mentions of that on StackOverflow, but none of the suggested fixes work:
I have added
-vm
/Users/myuser/.sdkman/candidates/java/current/bin/java
to MemoryAnalyzer.ini. Still the same problem.
I have added
<string>-vm</string><string>/Users/myuser/.sdkman/candidates/java/current/bin/java</string>
to Info.plist. Still the same problem.
There is a /usr/bin/java, which is a symlink to /System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/Current/Commands/java. This is somewhat strange, as some people say it should be a symlink to /Users/myuser/.sdkman/candidates/java/current/bin/java. This may be a hint on a broken sdkman installation, but java --version behaves as expected, changing the version via sdk u java ... works as expected.
What else could I try?
To save someone some searching later, this worked for me:
https://wiki.eclipse.org/Eclipse.ini#Using_a_JDK_without_macOS_directory_layout
Using SDKMAN! 8.0.282.hs-adpt, setting for me was:
$ cat /Applications/mat.app/Contents/Info.plist | grep sdk
<string>-vm</string><string>/Users/[removed]/.sdkman/candidates/java/8.0.282.hs-adpt/jre/lib/jli/libjli.dylib</string>

Starting Intellij IDEA from icon on linux: No JDK found

I am using Linux Mint and trying to run Intellij IDEA from icon on the start menu. Starting Intellij via terminal ./idea.sh works fine. However launching from icon (points to the same ./idea.sh) ends up with following error:
No JDK found. Please validate either IDEA_JDK, JDK_HOME or JAVA_HOME environment variable points to valid JDK installation.
Running echo $JAVA_HOME and java -version works correctly and shows installed JDK.
How can I fix this issue and why starting from icon differs from starting from terminal?
As #lealceldeiro and #millimoose pointed out, SDKMAN exposes JAVA_HOME every time terminal is launched. That is why JAVA_HOME was unavailable from other places. All I had to do is add JAVA_HOME to /etc/environment manually:
JAVA_HOME="/home/dmkach/.sdkman/candidates/java/current"

RubyMine-7.1.4 IDE is breaking in MAC OS 10.12

Following are the needed configuration details,
Java Version - 9.0.4
MAC OS Version - 10.12
RubyMine - 7.1.4
When I am clicking on RubyMine IDE, its breaking and giving errors,
java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError : sun/misc/resource
I have googled it and tried to apply solution to set "JAVA_HOME" variable path, but still its breaking.
Please share your thoughts.
Thanks
For my case, it was an issue of Java version.
I have installed Java version 1.6 and added to ~/.bash_profile [and for zsh shell add it to ~/.profile file]
export JAVA_HOME="$(/usr/libexec/java_home -v 1.6)"
After restarting PC, Rubymine is started working.

Eclipse on Mac 10.8 - Installed 1.7.0 JRE / JDK, but Eclipse won't launch

Installed Java SE 1.7.0u10 from Oracle w/ their installer package
Downloaded and unpacked Eclipse Juno (4.2.1)
Double click Eclipse purple icon and get OS X alert prompt with error message:
To open "Eclipse," you need a Java SE 6 runtime. Would you like to
install one now?
(in terminal) which java - /usr/bin/java
ls -l /usr/bin/java - /usr/bin/java -> /System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/Current/Commands/java
(in Finder) Double click eclipse alias (included when unpacked download) - Terminal launches, /Applications/Eclipse/Eclipse.app/Contents/MacOS/eclipse ; exit ; and Exclipse launches without OS X alert prompt.
I've tried modifying the Eclipse app bundle plist to point the -vm key to /System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.frameworks/Versions/Current/Commands/java, but I feel like I probably shouldn't have to do this.`
I'd like to know how to get Eclipse to launch by just double clicking on the Application package. It's such a small thing to bug me... :o)
The best answer is to fix the Java 7 installation as shown here :
https://stackoverflow.com/a/19594116
Simple to do and I have confirmed it works on Mavericks. With this fix, you can launch your app from the launchpad as usual. If you upgrade your JDK, you will have to reapply the fix to the new installation.
I had JDK 7 installed and I solved this issue for eclipse Kepler by running eclipse from the terminal instead of the finder.
./eclipse
Just thought to share.
Update 1
For the sake of completeness, if you want to run it from Finder as well, you can wrap the ./eclipse command into a .command file and run it from Finder (so that you don't have to open a terminal)
The following lines should do the job (don't forget to replace "your-full-eclipse-path" with the eclipse path on your machine)
#!/bin/sh
/your-full-eclipse-path/eclipse
After that, give execute permission to the eclipse.command file you just created
chmod +x eclipse.command
I found the answer over on Ask Different
It's an ugly hack, but works perfectly.
posted on this page: Mountain Lion with Java 7 only
To trick OS X to accept Java 7 instead of proposing to install Java 6 a simple symlink is enough:
sudo mkdir /System/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines
sudo ln -s /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/1.7.0.jdk /System/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/1.6.0.jdk
Most Java Programs will run with this little hack without the need to install Java 6. OS X's Java Preferences (and maybe some others) will not as it seems to explicitly check the version of the JVM when it is started.
script above can fix my problem.
Hoping you are using 64-bit of Java SE 1.7.0 and so advising the following.
go to Eclipse->Preferences...->Java->Installed JREs
click Add...
Select Standard VM
paste /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/1.7.0.jdk/Contents/Home into JRE home
Change the JRE name to something useful like Java SE 7
Click Finish
Check the check-box next to your newly created JRE.
You would need a restart.
For what it's worth, the Eclipse team seems to have worked around it by replacing their dlopen()-based method with a CFBundleCreate()-based one: https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=411361
In case anybody has the same problem in their code that launches Java and does not want to resort to Apple-only APIs, I found an easier work-around: before dlopen()ing $JRE_HOME/lib/server/libjvm.dylib, make sure to open dlopen() $JRE_HOME/lib/jli/libjli.dylib. Then it won't ask to install Java 6.
Can you imagine that? You have to install a JDK 1.6 to get eclipse ran properly, even if you already have jdk 1.7 installed, and set the JAVA_HOME properly.
To resolve your issue, you just need to download the jdk1.6 from http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1572?viewlocale=en_US, and install it, later you will be able to run eclipse, and you can set the JAVA_HOME to JDK1.7, and you will be able to find the JDK1.7 from eclipse "Preferences".
All these hacks does not work on mac Mavericks,
But a simple and efficient solution is found here
it worked with me like a charm.
Note: a drawback of this solution is when you check your java version using "java -version" command, it will read Java 1.6
open /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdkXXXXX.jdk/Contents/Info.plist
settting(<string>BundledApp</string> is usefull!):
<key>JVMCapabilities</key>
<array>
  <string>JNI</string>
  <string>BundledApp</string>
  <string>WebStart</string>
  <string>Applets</string>
  <string>CommandLine</string>
</array>
I had the exact same message when setting up a new mac and trying to run eclipse 4.2.2 with only Java SE 7 installed (as part of JDK 7u17).
In order to be able to successfully launch Eclipse I had to let OSX download and install Apple's Java SE 6 runtime first before installing the latest JDK.
After installing the JDK, the command java -version correctly shows:
java version "1.7.0_17"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.7.0_17-b02)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 23.7-b01, mixed mode)
Trying to solve the problem the other way around didn't work -- i.e. installing JDK 7u17 first before installing Java SE 6 as suggested in the message.
I had the exactly same problem some days ago and I solved it today. Just installed this http://support.apple.com/kb/dl1572
And after that, when I opened the eclipse the OSX installed some java update and opening eclipse by Eclipse.app started working.
Hope it works with you too.
If you'd like to install Java 6 JDK only (no Java 7 JDK/JRE, no Java 6 JRE only), install the Apple OSX Java DMG (at time of writing, this was http://adcdownload.apple.com/Developer_Tools/java_for_os_x_2013003_developer_package/java_for_os_x_2013003_dp__11m4406.dmg).
You still won't be able to start Eclipse. Make a directory JavaVirtualMachines under /System/Library/Java. And then make an Alias of the java version folder at /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines and rename the alias 1.6.0.jdk and copy that alias to /System/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/
After finished, you will have an Alias at /System/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/1.6.0.jdk that points to the Java install directory at */Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/1.6.0_XX-XXX-XXX.jdk*
Install latest JDK from Sun, it installs into /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/, e.g. /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.7.0_40.jdk
sudo mkdir /System/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines
sudo ln -s /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.7.0_40.jdk/ /System/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/1.6.0.jdk
========= this trick used to work on Mountain Lion, but not on Maverick 10.9 somehow ============
Tried this again on Maverick, it does not work anymore. I also tried to change eclipse app plist and eclipse.ini (by adding -vm or ), does not work either.
Some people suggested that this is caused by Eclipse binary prepared using Apple 1.6 appbundler instead of Oracle java7 appbundler: Application is using Java 6 from Apple instead of Java 7 from Oracle on Mac OS X?
For now, please just type the eclipse from command line, which works fine with JAVA_HOME set to Java 7 (/usr/libexec/java_home command will tell you)
How to Make Eclipse Run on OS X 10.9 Mavericks
Attempting to launch various Eclipse versions after the Mavericks upgrade pops up a dialog with this message:
To open "Eclipse.app" you need a Java SE 6 runtime. Would you like to install one now?
It turns out that Java 7 is disabled by default in OS X 10.9.
This is easily verified as follows:
$ java --version
No Java runtime present, requesting install.
The solution is to install the latest supported Java version from Apple support: Java for OS X 2013-005 (http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1572)
As of 10/15/13 this would be Java SE 6 1.6.0_65.

After the install, Eclipse will run as expected from the Dock, the Finder, or the Terminal without any tricks, hacks, or work-arounds.
I wanted to run Eclipse itself with Java 7. As I have a couple of plugins that do not work without it. For me neither solution worked for 10.9, but I found a workaround. The main idea is that you start eclipse with java -jar launcher.jar and provide a couple of magic properties and then it starts. This guy provided the command line script in comments that works for me:
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=411361#c25
I found the same problem (Mac OS X 10.9.2, Java 1.7.0_53b13, Eclipse Kepler). The workaround was quite easy:
Find the executable in Finder (CMD+Click on Eclipse's icon in the Dock)
Remove the icon from the Dock
CTRL+Click on the executable in Finder
ALT+Open (to allow the execution of a non-signed application)
Eclipse opens normally and without any problem
Re-dragged the program onto the Dock
I had this problem and found that I did not have JDK installed on my Mac. Once I did that, Eclipse starts normally.
I had same problem.
First of all ; JDK(java development Kit) and JRE(Java Runtime Environment) are different things. It was confused by people
In order to install eclipse yo should install latest JDK . So
Visit
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jdk8-downloads-2133151.html
Download suitable version for your mac
You can check your version now ; it won't be 1.6 anymore
Try to install eclipse again , see it works.
Good luck!..
