Description

Launching Directory Studio fails with an error (see attached image), basically saying that the JNI_CreateJavaVM symbol is not found in libjvm.dylib.

The symbol is actually there:

 

bin philip$ nm ../lib/server/libjvm.dylib | grep -i jni_create
00000000004e3190 T _JNI_CreateJavaVM

 

Tried two different java versions:

• zulu-11.jdk
• zulu-17.jdk

Tried adding the path to the java version explicitly in the Info.plist file:

 

  <array>
                  
      <!-- to use a specific Java version (instead of the platform's default) uncomment one of the following options,
                    or add a VM found via $/usr/libexec/java_home -V
                <string>-vm</string><string>/System/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/1.6.0.jdk/Contents/Commands/java</string>
                <string>-vm</string><string>/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/1.8.0.jdk/Contents/Home/bin/java</string>
            -->
                  
<string>-vm</string><string>/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/zulu-17.jdk/Contents/Home/bin/java</string>
      <string>-keyring</string>
      <string>~/.eclipse_keyring</string>
              
    </array> 

 

This appears to be a problem in Eclipse/Directory Studio.
