RM v1.63 runs but doesn't start (error log produced)
Posted: Thu Aug 10, 2006 5:12 am
I'm trying to run RM for the first time but its not starting (no screen displayed). I have noticed an rmaster.err file is being produced. Last few lines of its output are as follows:
Generating deviceImporter for protocol pid: 01 9B
Generating deviceImporter for protocol pid: 01 A4
Generating deviceImporter for protocol null
Exception thrown when setting look and feel to null
Caught exception in RemoteMaster.main()!

This is the first time I've used RM. I have downloaded and installed Java J2SE RE v5.0 Update 8.0, RDF's v1.25, RM maps and images v1.24. I've placed the "Images" and "RDF" folders in the same folder as RM (having first tried having the RDF folder elsewhere). I've run the SETUP.BAT file and was prompted to allow the registry to be updated. Initially, RM prompted me for the RDF path so I'd say the Java platform is working (confirmed by the following in the App Event log "Product: J2SE Runtime Environment 5.0 Update 8 -- Installation operation completed successfully"). I have read the Readme a couple of times and believe I've not missed anything. I've also tried the "RM as a Web Service" link (http://71.70.253.66:8080/) but it appears to be unavailable currently.
Any suggestions?
Many thanks.
