AdvancedEditingPlugin - Edit room plan dialog blank
Hi

I am using sweethome3d on fedora 20. I have installed the AdvancedEditingPlugin by copying AdvancedEditing.sh3p to ~/AdvancedEditing.sh3p

However when I select Plan->Edit room plan ...

The resulting dialog is blank. When I click the mouse on it bits of the dialog appear.

Anyone any idea why this might be happening and how I might go about fixing it ?

The native java I have installed (if it is relevant) is java-1.7.0-openjdk.


I did find a thread which seems to be a similar problem here:
http://www.sweethome3d.com/support/forum/view...965B88AF8F16416A9E9CA5164
but I could not determine what the solution might be from this.

Did you try with the version available at Download page? It comes with an older version of Java so that might make some difference.

Hi

Finally had a chance to have a look at this.

I re-visited the initial thread I found and realised it does indeed give the solution to the problem. Clearly I did not read it properly the first time.

It seems sweethome3d comes with and uses a local version of jre (for some reason I thought it used the systems version). The plugin does not work with the version sweethome3d comes with (jre1.6.0_45).

As mentioned in that thread downloading a later version of jre (I downloaded jre1.8.0_77), installing it in the SweetHome3D-x.y directory and setting jre1.6.0_45 to point to that version fixes the problem.

Does anyone know how I can find out where sweehome3d decides where it gets jrel from ? Can this be specified using env variables or is hard coded in the source somewhere ?
