Problems launching Gate

John Pashley
 

Hi.

Over the past few weeks I have been experiencing problems launching Gate.

Launching Gate from the Task Bar results in the following:

Clicking on OK launches https://gate.ac.uk/ in the browser.

I then reverted to the FAQ “2.2. When I execute GATE, nothing happens“. Running gateLauncher.jar from the command line as instructed produced the following:

PS C:\Java\Gate\GATE_Developer_9.0.1> java -jar bin/gateLauncher.jar

Using C:\Users\johnp\gate.xml as user configuration file

Using C:\Users\johnp\gate.session as user session file

CREOLE plugin loaded: creole

Nothing happened after CREOLE plugin was loaded.

Here is an overview of my development platform:

GATE_Developer_9.0.1

Windows 11 Home

Version 22H2

OS build 22621.1485

Installed RAM 16.0 GB (15.9 GB usable)

java version "11.0.9" 2020-10-20 LTS

Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment 18.9 (build 11.0.9+7-LTS)

Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM 18.9 (build 11.0.9+7-LTS, mixed mode)

 Many thanks in advance for your kind support.

Very best regards

It's difficult to know exactly what the problem is from the details provided but it's worth noting that you say you have Java 11 installed but the output log suggests you are using Java 18.9. I've not tried running GATE on anything as recent as Java 18.9 so that may be the issue. If you could try running using Java 11 you might have more luck.

To do that you might need to specify the full path to your Java 11 java binary rather than just typing

java -jar bin/gateLauncher.jar

you'd need something like

c:\path\to\java11\bin\java -jar bin/gateLauncher.jar

Hopefully that works,

Mark

Odd.  When it hangs, can you try running (in another terminal):

jps

this should give you a list of Java processes (you may need to prefix the full path if it can't find the command - C:\path\to\your\java11\bin\jps).  Hopefully there is only two of them, one of which is jps itself and the other is GATE - then you can run

jstack NNN

where NNN is the process ID that jps gave you for GATE.  The result of all this should be a set of stack traces for all the running threads, which will hopefully tell me exactly where GATE has got stuck.

If we can't work it out then my next suggestion would be to try with one of the OpenJDK-derived alternatives such as Eclipse Temurin (https://adoptium.net/en-GB/temurin/releases/?version=11) or Azul Zulu (https://www.azul.com/downloads/?version=java-11-lts&package=jdk#zulu) instead of Oracle Java.

Ian

P.S. Mark the 18.9 is a red herring - that's what Oracle sometimes calls their Java 11 as it was released in September 2018, same as Ubuntu use version numbers like 22.04

Hi Mark.

Your suggestion seems to have worked.

I ran the following:

c:\"Program Files"\Java\jre1.8.0_361\bin\java -jar bin/gateLauncher.jar

and the program started immediately.

I’ll keep you informed if any further developments.

Many, many thanks and best regards.

John

Great. It would be useful if you could also follow Ian's instructions as that might tell us why it fails under Java 18.9 in case it's a bug we need to fix,

Hi Ian.

Hope this helps. Let me know is not.

PS: I tried directing the output of the command line to a .txt file but permissions didn’t allow.

Odd.  When it hangs, can you try running (in another terminal):

 

jps

 

this should give you a list of Java processes (you may need to prefix the full path if it can't find the command - C:\path\to\your\java11\bin\jps).  Hopefully there is only two of them, one of which is jps itself and the other is GATE - then you can run

 

jstack NNN

 

where NNN is the process ID that jps gave you for GATE.  The result of all this should be a set of stack traces for all the running threads, which will hopefully tell me exactly where GATE has got stuck.

 

If we can't work it out then my next suggestion would be to try with one of the OpenJDK-derived alternatives such as Eclipse Temurin (https://adoptium.net/en-GB/temurin/releases/?version=11) or Azul Zulu (https://www.azul.com/downloads/?version=java-11-lts&package=jdk#zulu) instead of Oracle Java.

 

Ian

 

P.S. Mark the 18.9 is a red herring - that's what Oracle sometimes calls their Java 11 as it was released in September 2018, same as Ubuntu use version numbers like 22.04

Hi.

Over the past few weeks I have been experiencing problems launching Gate.

Launching Gate from the Task Bar results in the following:

Clicking on OK launches https://gate.ac.uk/ in the browser.

I then reverted to the FAQ “2.2. When I execute GATE, nothing happens“. Running gateLauncher.jar from the command line as instructed produced the following:

PS C:\Java\Gate\GATE_Developer_9.0.1> java -jar bin/gateLauncher.jar

Using C:\Users\johnp\gate.xml as user configuration file

Using C:\Users\johnp\gate.session as user session file

CREOLE plugin loaded: creole

Nothing happened after CREOLE plugin was loaded.

Here is an overview of my development platform:

GATE_Developer_9.0.1

Windows 11 Home

Version 22H2

OS build 22621.1485

Installed RAM 16.0 GB (15.9 GB usable)

java version "11.0.9" 2020-10-20 LTS

Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment 18.9 (build 11.0.9+7-LTS)

Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM 18.9 (build 11.0.9+7-LTS, mixed mode)

 Many thanks in advance for your kind support.

Very best regards

John Pashley
