bsh.InterpreterError: null variable value (Mac OS)
Submitted by stavros on Friday, 18 May, 2007 - 12:51
Hi all,

jEdit has been broken for me for the longest time, but I'd like to get it back up on its feet so I can play with it again.

I'm running the latest 4.3pre and on startup (and every other second as the program continues) I keep getting a "bsh.InterpreterError: null variable value" error window popping up (stack trace pasted below).

A similar error pops up when I hit backspace or enter in the editor. Try and browse through the jEdit preferences (they're all empty for me) ... pretty much any action I take is hosed.

I'm not sure what's wrong. I'm on an Intel Mac (10.4.9), Java 1.5, my environment vars are set appropriately (JDK_HOME, PATH), I've blown out my ~/.jedit folder over and over, nothing I do works.

Has anybody ran into this problem before? I searched on the boards + mailing list but didn't find anything.

Thanks,
-steve

Hi, I had the same problem

Hi,

I had the same problem on Windows XP. The problem seems to be due to some conflict between the version o BeanShell I had installed on the system and the version that jEdit uses internally.

After removing BeanShell from my system, jEdit got back working normally.

Regards,
Jeff.
