RipMeApp
update error
I'm having an issue where whenever I tried to update my program I get a error message that says "a Java exception has occurred", both when I try while running the program and also downloading it from github. I'm not which release I am running that still currently works for me because I changed its name when downloading to make it easier for me when navigating menus because I use voice controls to control my computer. Hope you can help me.
For windows this is how i solved the ""a Java exception has occurred"" : You probably got a newer java than 17. Open the command line tool (CMD) and copy/paste this:
java -version
If you have a newer java edition installed, then download java 17. Download exactly Java 17 (the JRE is sufficient, no need for the full JDK) https://adoptium.net/temurin/releases/?version=17 Choose JRE 17 (HotSpot), your operating system, and x64 architecture. Extract/unzip it anywhere you like, for example to C:\java17\ (on Windows) or ~/java17/ (on macOS/Linux). Its better than reinstalling the whole thing again.
Then i made a bat with this code:
@echo off title RipMe (running with Java 17) echo. echo Starting RipMe with Java 17... echo.
"C:\java17\bin\java.exe" -jar "%~dp0ripme.jar"
echo. echo ================================================= echo If everything works, the RipMe window should open now. echo ================================================= pause
Download Ripme again, so that you dont have to update the app. Then change "%~dp0ripme.jar" with the path where ripme is on your computer. But the " " has to stay! Save it as a bat file, start the bat file and ripme will start
