Lotus Notes 8.5.1 hangs when starting on OSX

Hello All,

There must be something wrong here, but everytime when I start notes, the application hangs after 7 seconds.

I run OSX 10.6. 4GB memory. MacbookPro.

I installed notes client 8.5.1 AND 8.5.2. Both hanving exactly the same issues.

The hanging process is Eclipse. But when I Use eclipse for development, it runs perfectly.

When I remove the notes settings from the OSX. I get the setup procedure for my account. But the next time I startup with the settings, it hangs. This is always reproducable.

I hope that anyone can help me. I am lost at the moment.

Thanks!

Peter Peeters.

Did you recently install the Java update from Apple? My 8.5.2 install started crashing like you’re describing after this update. Haven’t figured out a fix yet…

Yes I installed the update. It is automaticly here. Wasn’t that update about 1 month ago ?

I believe this one came out within the past week or so. Just now, I used the Java Preferences app (in your Applications > Utilities folder) and changed the preferred Java version to the 32 bit version (it was set to the 64 bit version) - you do this by dragging whichever one you want to load first to the top of the list.

After making that change, Notes is running fine again.

Hi Ed,

I tried it. Set the JSE 1.6 32 bit on top. Started Notes, still the same. Is there a setting in Notes which keeps the Java type?

It is eclipse. And that one is system choice based.

Thanks in advance…

Peter,

I’m not aware that Notes has any preference settings for Java… not sure what to suggest at this point. In googling around, I did run across some other apps (eclipse-based) that are having problems after the Java Update 3 patch. Didn’t save the links, but if you google for “Java for Mac OS X 10.6 Update 3” and eclipse, or Notes, you should get some hits.
