problem XTC 14.4.1 with Mac OSX Sonoma

[fabriceo]

Hello
till now , working with xTimeComposer IDE v14.4.1 was working perfectly fine on Mac OSX Ventura using java8
https://www.xcore.com/viewtopic.php?p=39688#p39688

but the recent upgrade to Sonoma (osx 14.1.2) brings issue in using the IDE.
during startup, the welcome screen becomes bottom-up inverted just after validating the workspace. See picture enclosed. And the right-click menu isn't stable requiring to right-click multiple times to get into it.
Also got some crash.

installing the latest Azul Zulu jdk 8.74.0.17 (x64 for Mac osx) did not solve the problem.

anyone having same issue or a fix ??
thx.

Hi
I see this issue being reported for eclipse (at least the screen shot upside-down):
https://github.com/eclipse-platform/ecl ... issues/751
but no solution yet.

regarding the problem with menus it is reported here as well:

any body else impacted ??

Hello
The Sonoma issue is really a concern...
in the stack overflow last message mentioned above it is explained that the problem can be solved just by launching manually the java vm instead of using the eclipse launcher. so I tried the following in the plugin directory:

Code: Select all

java -jar plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher_1.3.0.v20130327-1440.jar

and unfortunately this generates immediately an exception.
in the file xtimecomposer.ini there is a lot of options given to the launcher:

Code: Select all

--launcher.library
../../../plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher.cocoa.macosx.x86_64_1.1.200.v20140116-2212
-vmargs
-Xms40m
-Xmx1024m
-XX:MaxPermSize=128m
-XstartOnFirstThread
-Dcom.xmos.cdt.disableMozillaBrowserCreation=True

So question for the xmos team working on the tools, is there a possibility to launch the XTC jar plugin while attaching with this ".ini" file directly with a "java -jar" command line ? or there is not other solution than using the eclipse launcher...

I understand XTimecomposer is obsolete but honestly the vscode solution is far from mature, especially for project including .xc files like sw_usb_audio

Thanks in advance
