Hi.
I am trying BaseX version 8.6.7 with java version “9.0.1” on a macOS Sierra, planning to show it in classroom. When running the GUI I am getting the following error:
WARNING: An illegal reflective access operation has occurred WARNING: Illegal reflective access by org.basex.gui.GUIMacOSX (file:/Applications/basex/basex/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 for help.

Hi Massimo,
It seems Mac OSX support is getting more and more difficult with each Java release. Could you still run BaseX in spite of the returned warnings?
Best, Christian

Hi Massimo, Seems to be a common problem running with Java 9. This link [1] suggests some command line work arounds (untested by me)

No, it is not running.
I’ve uploaded a new snapshot that ignores Mac OSX initialization failures; could you give it a try [1,2]?
I’ve found various user reports that point to the same problem in other applications. Apparently, reflective access to the Apple UI API is now illegal in Java 9 – “The APIs in the com.apple.eawt and com.apple.eio packages are encapsulated, so you won’t be able to compile against them in JDK 9” [3] – so Mac users with Java 9 will need to live with the standard Swing components until BaseX will eventually be upgraded to Java 9.
Right now, I recommend everyone to work with Java 8 anyway until the new JVM has further stabilized (there have been other platform-independent issues with Java 9 that have been reported to us in the recent past).
