Can I run VT on Java 8?

[timidri]

I tried to build it, but it does not run. And I cannot download JDK 7 anymore. Any suggestions? Also, I could not find any new released versions...

VisibleTesla is known not to not work with Java 1.8, in particular the changes to JavaFX are incompatible. Someone may wish to do the port over to the newer version of JavaFX, but it's not on anyone's list that I know of.

JDK1.7 can be downloaded here: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jdk7-downloads-1880260.html

Thanks! I have downloaded Java 7. After getting the source and building I see:

➜  VisibleTesla git:(master) ant -Dplatforms.Default_JavaFX_Platform.home=$JAVA_HOME bundle-VisibleTesla
Buildfile: /Users/dimitri/Projects/VisibleTesla/Tesla/VisibleTesla/build.xml

get-version:
     [echo] Version: 0.50.08

bundle-VisibleTesla:

After launching the app on the command line I get:

➜  VisibleTesla git:(master) open dist/VisibleTesla.app
LSOpenURLsWithRole() failed with error -10810 for the file /Users/dimitri/Projects/VisibleTesla/Tesla/VisibleTesla/dist/VisibleTesla.app.

Any ideas what I am doing wrong?

Hi,

Got the same issue. Any idea to solve this ?

I finally downloaded an already built version from here: http://www.teslamotorsclub.com/showthread.php/19975-VisibleTesla/page35?p=939004&viewfull=1#post939004 . That version works for me.
