Error Failed to create Java Virtual Machine Mac OSX

quinceworks — Sat, 16 Nov 2024 02:20:23 GMT

Hi there community.

I'm having trouble getting my Talend OS for Data Integration application to work on my macbook. I updated my profile file to include the JAVA_HOME and PATH variables as described in the User documentation. I then installed TOS-DI and tried to launch the Application but I get a messagebox stating: Alert - Failed to crate Java Virtual Machine.

I have a feeling my errors may be with me trying to interpret the instructions for Linux in the user documentation because there was no guidance there for Mac users. Please find below my system/version details. I hope someone can help, there seems to be very limited information provided for mac users anywhere.

Thanks in advance for you your time!

Talend Version: TOSDI-7.3.1

Mac OSX version 10.15 Catalina (I know this version is currently unsupported but I don't think it's the key issue)

Please fine here the extract from my profiles file:

# MacPorts Installer addition on 2015-01-26_at_14:19:19: adding an appropriate PATH variable for use with MacPorts.
export PATH="/opt/local/bin:/opt/local/sbin:$PATH"
# Finished adapting your PATH environment variable for use with MacPorts.

# Setting PATH for Python 3.7
# The original version is saved in .bash_profile.pysave
PATH="/Library//Python/3.7/bin:${PATH}"
export PATH

# Setting PATH for Taland access to JRE
export JAVA_HOME=/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/adoptopenjdk-11.jdk/Contents/Home
export PATH=$JAVA_HOME/bin:$PATH

And the ini file:

-vmargs
-Xms512m
-Xmx1536m
-Xdock:icon=../Resources/talend.icns
-XstartOnFirstThread
-Dorg.eclipse.swt.internal.carbon.smallFonts
-Dosgi.instance.area.default=../../../workspace
-Dfile.encoding=UTF-8
-Dosgi.requiredJavaVersion=1.8

-XX:+UseStringDeduplication
-XX:MaxMetaspaceSize=512m

You shouldn't need to do anything special for Mac. I used a Mac and the only time I have to do anything like this is if I am using different versions of Java.

What happens when you type .....

java -version

...in your terminal window?

Also, what version of Talend is this? I assume it is 7

Any answer to this? Didn't have issue until I updated to Big Sur

@Liam Berry , have you checked the installation guide to see if you are using compatible operating system and Java environment?

Re: Error Failed to create Java Virtual Machine Mac OSX

LBerry1608063532 — Wed, 16 Dec 2020 14:46:37 GMT

That is probably it, I see Talend only supports Java 8 or 11 and mine is 14 Open JDK:

% java -version

openjdk version "14.0.1" 2020-04-14

OpenJDK version 14 is not a supported Java version, please install version 11 and test again.

That did the trick, added OpenJDK 11 to my JavaVirtualMachine folder and it worked.Other tip to note, I had to first had to remove the quarantine on JDK using terminal command "xattr -d com.apple.quarantine /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk-11.0.2.jdk".

If you having multiple Java versions installed on your system, then this can be happen. You can solve this by change the maximum memory allowed for the eclipse process (which is run in a Java Virtual Machine). Open eclipse.ini (which is in the same directory as eclipse.exe) in Notepad or any other text-editor application, Find the line -Xmx256m (or -Xmx1024m). Then change the default value 256m (or 1024m) to 512m . You also need to give the exact java installed version (1.6 or 1.7 or other).

Like This:

-Xmx512m

-Dosgi.requiredJavaVersion=1.6

-Xmx512m

-Dosgi.requiredJavaVersion=1.7

-Xmx512m

-Dosgi.requiredJavaVersion=1.8

Dear Community,

I'm also facing same issue of "Failed to create the Java Virtual Machine" while running TOS_BD-macosx-cocoa.app file after installation of Talend Big Data version 7 on my MacOS Big Sur Operating System.

I've checked the OS compatibility on official website they did not mentioned about Big Sur OS if it is compatible or not. Is anyone have any idea about it?

Also, I've a JDK 1.8 running on my system and that is compatible for Talend 7 version.

Kindly let me know if anyone is having idea about it.

Thanks,

Akshay

@Akshay Jadhav , it was a known issue, the resolution was to specified -vm to point to java executable path in Talend-Studio-macosx-cocoa.ini like:

-vm

/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/zulu-8.jdk/Contents/Home/bin/java

Add Java path to Info.plist inside Talend-Studio-macosx-cocoa/Contents like:

<string>-vm</string><string>/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/zulu-8.jdk/Contents/Home/bin/java</string>

Hi Shong,

Thanks for the reply.

I've changed the -vm path as per my JAVA path in the TOS_BD-macosx-cocoa.ini but it's not working.

I went to try second approach but the Contents is not present in my TOS_BD-macosx-cocoa files package. I'm using TOS_BD-macosx-cocoa version 7. 😞

Best,

Akshay

@Akshay Jadhav， this is the jira issue, the workaround is provided by R&D team and it is for v7.3.1, What is the specific version of your product?

Re: Error Failed to create Java Virtual Machine Mac OSX

Akshay3 — Tue, 23 Mar 2021 05:10:01 GMT

Yes, I'm using Talend Big Data v7.3.1 and I've set the path -vm path at the beginning of the file TOS_BD-macosx-cocoa.ini file as,

-vm /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.8.0_281.jdk/Contents/Home/bin/java

But still is showing the same error.

Please help me in resolving this.

Hello

I got response from our developer,

Adding “-vm” in TOS_BD-macosx-cocoa.ini should work. Please check if the java path is correct by running

the below command in terminal :

/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.8.0_281.jdk/Contents/Home/bin/java -version

For the second way, select “Show Package Contents”

Hope it is helpful.

Shong I am also having this issue. I have verified the -vm entry in the .ini file aligns with the installed version of Java 1.8.0_161 but still getting the same error message.

I am running talend 7.3.1 ESB.
