Java version up to date

[dorin]

According to java.com they offer now version 8.
I've tested SH3D v4.6 & v5.0beta with java 6,7 and 8.
Empty or new plan are open correctly with jre1.8u45, but the previously created especially large one (>5M or >6M) don't show the menu, plan window, furniture window etc.
The 3D window are showed instantly and correct.
I think You can consider to switch to java v8 wile they don't offer support for older versions.
For me (under debian) is not necessarily a problem but for others.

I wanted to update Sweet Home 3D to Java 8 too, and made some tests. Unfortunately, as soon as you set a texture on a room, the plan don't get repainted anymore and the Java console displays the following exception:

Code: Select all

Hansmex reported to me that he encountered a similar problem which actually seems to match the following bug. As Oracle closed it because they couldn't reproduce it, I fear it's going to take a long time before Sweet Home 3D get delivered with a newer Java version under Linux! [:(]

This issue should be fixed in the version 5.3.
Meanwhile, you can test the correction with the version 5.3 beta 7 available here.

I've tested the 5.3 beta 7 and work.
I observe some latency in move items in 3D and in 2D.
I modify some things like memory, default furniture and some menu text but that not affect the general way of run.
I tray to have a "fresh" install:
-rename /home/[user]/.eteks/sweethome3d to sweethome3d-j7
-restart SweetHome3D-j8_112
-open a file which was previously open and save as Apartment-j8
-set the Preferences
--on 2D the texture of rooms not show but in 3D appear correctly
-close the program
-add all set of furniture, textures and plugins
-reopen the same file but no change, no texture for rooms in 2D
-revert to /home/[user]/.eteks/sweethome3d used with j7
-run SweetHome3D-j8_112 and Apartment-j8.sh3d -> All's OK .
In sweethome3d folder I have the work folder with about 44 temp files and about 49 Furniture-3-----.pref files.
I'm not very clear but hope You understand.

Hi
I have updated pc to java version 8 update 111 and have not noticed any issues with the new version of sh3d

[dorin]

You're right!
It was my fault.
I forgot to set in preferences how to show the rooms.
Now it's all OK [:-$]
