QUICKTIME FOR JAVA PROBLEMS
- quicktime for java is still required on windows. it's required on
macosx too, but it's installed there by default. the requirement
will be removed in a later release for people who don't want to use
video, but the fix is more difficult than anticipated, so it will
probably happen after the initial beta release.
probably happen after the initial beta release.
- on windows, if you can't install quicktime for java yourself, all
you really need is a copy of QTJava.zip from the quicktime install,
which needs to be at %WINDIR%\system32\QTJava.zip. WINDIR is an
environment variable on windows, open up a DOS prompt and type
echo %WINDIR%
to find out what it's set to (prolly something like C:\windows on
windows xp/me/98 or c:\winnt on windows 2000).
- quicktime for java is missing from quicktime 6.4 on the mac. this is
the version of quicktime that was released with the windows version
of itunes and all that other bunk. it's apple's fault, unfortunately:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93414&sessionID=anonymous%7C26893096&kbhost=kbase.info.apple.com%3a80%2f
you can download a reinstaller for quicktime 6.3 if the upgrade is
making you sad and has just broken all your applets:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=120255
the discovery and diagnosis of this particular headache comes from
Jerronimo: http://proce55ing.net/discourse/yabb/YaBB.cgi?board=Proce55ing_software_bugs;action=display;num=1066358763
- for the mac, a workaround for the 6.4 bug if you don't actually
need to use video, is to put a copy of QTJava.zip into
/System/Library/Java/Extensions, which is where it's normally
installed (you'll have to use 'sudo' to move it in there).
this will pacify Processing and at least allow you to run programs
until apple has released a fix.
