Snow Leopard + CCT = Fail

[Caedus]

I have been trying to get CalCubeTimer running on my Macbook Pro. Whenever I launch it, it runs, shows the splash screen for a few seconds, and quits. I have the latest version of Snow Leopard, Java, and CCT. Is this me misunderstanding how to use CCT? Or is it an incompatibility with Snow Leopard.

If it is CCT's fault, will there be a fix soon? Or is there an alternative that works with a stackmat?

Thanks

I have leopard and the same exact thing happens to me. I wish Apple would come out with a new Java update so CCT would run because before I got the update CCT worked fine for me.

Hmm, well then, is it possible to run it in Crossover or a similar program?

It is neither. It is a compatibility issue with Java 6. CCT ran on the beta of Java SE 6, but it doesn't work with the new version. It wouldn't work in Leopard either as long as you had your Java up to date. To the best of my knowledge, there is no fix.

EDIT: I believe that it would work on a virtual Windows machine created in something like Parallels or Fusion that runs Windows Java 6, but I may not be correct.

Would downloading an older version of Java and then selecting that version over the new version help?

Quite possibly, but I'm not sure where to find an old version. Can you direct me to one?

 

[Caedus]

Yeah, I have been looking to find an old developer version, but so far, no luck.

Jeremy fixed this. He hasn't uploaded the new CCT yet, but I know there is a fix. I can upload it if someone really wants, but I should check with Jeremy first.

 

[ianini]

Dan, when do you think the new version of CCT will be uploaded.

 

[Caedus]

If it is possible, it would be great if you could upload, seeing as I spent $25 on the required cables to get my stackmat hooked up.

 

[JTW2007]

Jeremy fixed it? Awesome! I'd love to get the new version.

CCT fails to calculate SD on Ubuntu (it's always 00.00).

I've made a hackish patch that works for the java version 1.6.0_15 on osx 10.5.8. Perhaps this also works for snow leopard.

I have snow leopard and the above patch works fine for me.

However as it seems many of you are interested a friend of mine is going to write a native Mac app very similar to CCT using the source code so I'll keep you posted on this.

PM me if you have any specific ideas for me to suggest to him

Is it the one in the "what would you like to see in a timer" thread? I started working on one in objective-c, but I couldn't find out how to communicate with a stackmat.

Also, thanks hr.mohr, the patch works great.

 

[masterofthebass]

just so you know, apparently it was a one line fix to make cct work for apple's latest java. I e-mailed j-fly and will await his response before uploading anything.

 

[brunson]

Yay Java! Write once, debug everywhere.

Nope, I am not the person he is referring to.

 

[Caedus]

Okay, well if the app had long term stat graphing like Cube Mania, AND Stackmat timer support I would definately switch from CCT.

Now, Mac + CCT = amazing!
