Azureus/Java Broken, Ideas?

[BillytheImpaler]

I have managed to break Azureus rather badly on my G4 PowerMac. When I start the program this is all I see:

Along with this error:

I've tried reinstalling Azureus, deleting all the application data, and reinstalling the latest Java updates (I couldn't find a complete Java package for 10.3.9). None of these have had any effect.

It started when I mounted the partition that contained Azureus from a Core 2 iMac and ran the program. It worked swimmingly but has given me this error ever since.

Have you any ideas about how I can remedy this situation? Other Java applications, such as NeoOffice, are unaffected Failing a solution, what is the consensus on Mac torrent clients nowadays? Transmission and Tomato Torrent are not quite up to it the last time I tested them and AFAIK the µTorrent OS X port is stalled or dead.

I use Bitrocket

Does what I want it to do.

My Azureus messed up, try deleting all the temp files from your download folder, it fixed it for me.

 

[BillytheImpaler]

I don't see any temp files anywhere. I was only uploading at the time it died so I assume that the only dependent files are those that're uploading.

I'm testing BitRocket right now.

 

[BillytheImpaler]

Alas, BitRocket is a no-go since it requires OS X 10.4 or higher. I'm saddled with OS X 10.3.9 on this machine.

I see the word 'beta' in that screenshot, perhaps the cause?

 

[BillytheImpaler]

Nah, it's worked fine for a months now. I'm now running the most recent version, 3.0.3.4 which isn't a beta per se. It's the whole "Vuze" concept that's being referred to as a beta.

Whoops, my bad then.

Azureus
BitRocket
Tomato
Transmission

So that's about it for Mac OS X bit torrent clients?

There's more in the sticky

BitsOnWheels
xTorrent

..to name a few.

The newest version of Transmission is decent.

 

[BillytheImpaler]

CRAP! I went to try the newest Transmission only to discover that the last version that worked with OS X 10.3.9 was version 0.6.1.

Alas, I'll keep chuggin' away trying to fix the Java issue.

Is there not a command in the "View" submenu to "reset windows" ?

 

[BillytheImpaler]

What view submenu? When I open Azureus this is what I see in the menu bar at the top:

You want to update SWT library I think
Not sure where the Mac keeps it, (Probably /usr/share/java), but run a search for SWT.jar
You may have to play with permissions slightly, but you want to replace it with the one from this link (Latest beta)- http://download.eclipse.org/eclipse...load.php?dropFile=swt-3.4M2-carbon-macosx.zip

[BillytheImpaler]

Woo hoo, it works!

Thanks a lot leezer. I downloaded and extracted swt.jar from the link you provided but was unable to find anything in /use/share. I searched for swt.jar and only found the new file. On a hunch I cd'd into /Applications/Azureus.app/Contents/Resources/Java and found it sitting there; swt.jar. I ran
cp ~/Desktop/swt-3.4M2-carbon-macosx/swt.jar /Applications/Azureus.app/Contents/Resources/Java/swt.jar
and it began working just fine.

I'm quite pleased.

*WHOOSH*

There goes my hat..

 

[BillytheImpaler]

Mac OS X applications are not actually solid binary files. They're directories that contain lots of other things. In this case swt (Standard Widget Toolkit) was located inside Azureus.app. I used the command line to replace the broken copy of swt.jar with a new one I downloaded from the link leezer3 provided.

Right click > Show contents instead of Terminal?

Think that works anyhow...

So it does...

I still prefer the command line though.
