Hi Christian,

After I installed Java 10, I cannot use BaseXGUI 8.x anymore. The standalone access of BaseX 8.x is possible, but not with the GUI. The following is the error message (which is partially the same I get with BaseXGUI 9.0, but in that case I can still open the GUI):

WARNING: An illegal reflective access operation has occurred
WARNING: Illegal reflective access by org.basex.gui.GUIMacOSX (file:/Users/mycomputer/Desktop/basex%20867/BaseX.jar) to method com.apple.eawt.Application.getApplication()
WARNING: Please consider reporting this to the maintainers of org.basex.gui.GUIMacOSX
WARNING: Use --illegal-access=warn to enable warnings of further illegal reflective access operations
WARNING: All illegal access operations will be denied in a future release
Failed to initialize native Mac OS X interface


Thanks!
Giuseppe

Hi Giuseppe,

Did this happen with BaseX 8, too? Does it make a difference which
Java version you are using?

Cheers,
Christian

Hi,

I have also noticed that after evaluating a query, BaseXGUI continues to "work", absorbing CPU  (as I can see in my "Activity monitor" and in the "Used Memory" field of the GUI). I do not know if this is somehow related to the org.basex.gui.GUIMacOSX problem, but it happens regularly.

Best,
Giuseppe

Hi Guiseppe,

it is a known issue and refers to macOS-specific features that have been removed, starting in JDK 9.

We've already started to prepare a fix and I've just filed an issue [1] for it.

All the best,
Alex

Hi,

I  have updated Java (10 from 8) and I cannot apparently customize the GUI anymore on my Mac (if I click on BaseXGUI > aboutBaseXGUI, I cannot access the relevant tabs). Is this a known issue? Moreover, if I start the GUI from the command line, I keep getting the warning message "Illegal reflective access by org.basex.gui.GUIMacOSX". Is there a way to avoid that? Thanks.

Ciao,
Giuseppe
