Description Olex 2013-08-01 13:43:22 CDT

I get error message (see below) when I try to run "Analyse Particles" plugin. 

[ERROR] Cannot create plugin: label='Default Overlay Settings', menu='Image > Overlay > Overlay Options...', priority=0.0, enabled=true, pluginType=Command

Thanks for the report. It looks like a bug in Java. What version of Java are you running ("java -version"), and on which operating system?

Comment 3 Olex 2013-08-01 17:56:16 CDT

Thank you for your prompt response. I am using
 java version "1.6.0_24"
OpenJDK Runtime Environment (IcedTea6 1.11.9) (rhel-1.57.1.11.9.el6_4-x86_64)
OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 20.0-b12, mixed mode)

I tried to test macros on a cluster (linux 64-bit) in a headless mode.

Comment 4 Curtis Rueden 2013-10-23 13:18:29 CDT

Very sorry for the long delay in reply.

On my Ubuntu 12.04.2 LTS 64-bit system, I have:

> $ java -version
> java version "1.7.0_21"
> OpenJDK Runtime Environment (IcedTea 2.3.9) (7u21-2.3.9-0ubuntu0.12.04.1)
> OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 23.7-b01, mixed mode)

And I am able to run Analyze Particles successfully in ImageJ2.

Is there any way you can upgrade the Java on your cluster? Unfortunately, OpenJDK is not being developed at all for Java6 anymore, but only for Java7.
