java issues on 64 bit PC's

[jaapkramer]

Hi,

we are having headaches because of the following: Windchill 10 has issues when using 64 bit Java, so PTC told us to only use 32-bit java6.31 only;we also have been told specifically to uninstall the 64-bitJava, because it seems to give problems when both versions are installed.On Build 030 of WF5 this worked ok, but now we are testing WF5 M130 (needed to fix another bug), and now ProE crashes during startup with all kind of java errors (exception ProMenubarmenuPushbuttonAdd(), UIAddbutton etc.), at the moment it loads our J-Link tools. So, we now disabled all of our J-Link tools, but we need these regularly.

Does anyone know how to solve this????
Thanks!
Regards,

Jaap

Hi Jaap -

I have not had this problem with my Jlink applications on WF5 M090 and WC
10:

You may have already done this, but... when I have problems with JLink
apps,
I first check the PRO_JAVA_COMMAND and CLASSPATH environment variables.
These
variables are typically set in the proe.psf file.

PRO_JAVA_COMMAND contains the command Pro/E uses to launch Java.
Typically, you
want this to be the copy of Java under Pro/E's loadpoint. If you are
seeing
Java exceptions, then Pro/E is probably launching Java successfully. In
any
case, check the Java command-line options in PRO_JAVA_COMMAND.

CLASSPATH contains all the places you want Pro/E's Java runtime to look for
Java classes. Please make sure it contains the correct pfc.jar file, which
is located in Pro/E's text/java folder. If pfc.jar were not in your
CLASSPATH,
I would expect to see JLink methods failing in the manner you describe.
