FurnitureLibraryEditor-1.22.jar will not run

[nuvolari]

I am running XP SP3. I have been using SH3D for some time, and followed the prompt to update to 5.7 today.
I spotted the FurnitureLibraryEditor program while on the website.
After some fun and games I found the java program in C:\Program Files\Sweet Home 3D\jre8\bin.I copied the .jar file into the bin directory, and double clicked - nothing happened.
What am I not doing?

It's not because you place the .jar file in the same directory as javaw.exe that it will be launched with a double click! If you don't want to separately install Java, you'll have to open a cmd window and run the following command:

Code: Select all

"C:\Program Files\Sweet Home 3D\jre8\bin\javaw.exe" -jar "C:\Program Files\Sweet Home 3D\jre8\bin\FurnitureLibraryEditor-1.22.jar"

An old thread, I know, but is there an equivalent on Linux (Mint)?

In other words, can I use somehow call the java that is included in SweetHome 3D (I understood that it's there)? I would prefer not to install an extra Java runtime environment for the FurnitureLibraryEditor.
Or did I misunderstand this?

Of course although it is possible that the FLE doesn't work correct with that same version. I use different versions for Sweet Home 3D and the FLE.

Bash script to use an installed java runtime:

Code: Select all

#!/bin/sh
exec java -jar [path]/FurnitureLibraryEditer-2.2.jar

Bash script to use the Sweet Home 3D runtime:

Code: Select all

#!/bin/sh
exec [/sweethome3d-install-directory]/runtime/bin/java -jar [path]/FurnitureLibraryEditer-2.2.jar

Make sure you make the script file executable.

Thank you very much!
