I'm start Processing 1.0 on Mac OS X (x86), and see only a menu with one item:
"Processing", and PDE window doesn't appear. There is also an error messages in console.log
which appears at this moment:
[JavaAppLauncher Error] CallStaticVoidMethod() threw an exception
Exception in thread "main" [JavaAppLauncher Error] CallStaticVoidMethod() threw an exception
Exception in thread "main"

i'm using mac os x 10.4.11

move Home > Library > Processing > preferences.txt to the Desktop and then
try restarting the application. if that works, please attach a copy of the
broken preferences.txt file here so that i can see what went wrong.

After I moved preferences.txt to the Desktop I got the same result and same message in
console.log :( Also my java version is:
$ java -version
java version "1.5.0_16"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.5.0_16-b06-275)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.5.0_16-132, mixed mode, sharing)

Using same Java version under 10.5.5 works OK and does not generate any errors in the console
log.

Hm, will try to get it to reproduce.

Just for kicks, please try this version of pde.jar:
http://dev.processing.org/bugs/attachment.cgi?id=255

Use that file to replace the version found at:
Processing.app/Contents/Resources/Java/pde.jar

I'm not particularly convinced that it'll fix the problem, but it's worth a
try.

Now it works with new pde.jar, thanks! But I found that PDE also run with old pde.jar. Here is
the scenario:
1) Open any .pde file with Processing
2) PDE starts sucessfully
3) If you close Processing and try start it from a menu now you can see that PDE runs
successfully too, without any excetions in console.log

After that I was deleted preferences.txt, reinstalled Processing, replaced pde.jar with your file
and successfully started Processing from a menu.

I don't quite follow what you mean. The problem no longer happens? Or
reinstalling fixed it? Or the previous version of pde.jar works but only if
you double-click the .pde file from a sketch?

>Or the previous version of pde.jar works but only if

Previous version of pde.jar works only if I double-click the .pde file in Finder and after that
Processing also begins to run successfully if I start it from the dock (or Applications folder).
After I deleted Processing (and preferences.txt also) and then installed it again, the same
exception occurs when I start it from the dock (or Applications folder).

New version of pde.jar works fine even if I run Processing from Dock (or Applications folder)
right after install.

Got it, thanks.
