When I start PDI on Mac HighSierra from the console I get an error message:
"org.osgi.framework.BundleException: Exported package names cannot be zero length."
A detailed log can be found on this Jira ticket: [PDI-16887] PDI Start up error - Pentaho Platform Tracking from somebody else who had the same issue. The ticket was closed stating "in your environment, ${jre-${java.specification.version}} seems to be returning an empty string. Please visit http://forums.pentaho.com and ask for assistance in getting your environment properly configured."
Somebody has an idea how to fix this?
I have pdi 8.0, Java 10 SDK, MacOS HighSierra
Java 10? PDI doesn't even support Java9 yet.
Try installing java8, open a terminal, set JAVA_HOME correctly, and then run spoon.sh and it'll work fine.
Dan!
Thanks for the hint, that did it.
On my Mac I had to:
i can't launch Spoon by navigating to the folder /data-integration and double clicking on the "Data Integration" application icon. why?
MacOS Sierra.
Hi xiaoyu kawan if your on windows you should double click spoon.bat to start spoon
This also happens with pentaho-server-ce-8.1...so, JAVA 10 or JAVA 9 is not supported in pentaho platform 8.1??
thanks
nope. Check the component reference on help.pentaho.com
They generally dont support the next java version until the current one goes beyond eol
Thanks, I downgrade the java, and starts working though, I'm having a problem with a quartz script...as soon as I got the log I'll post it
