marvin 6.1.3 / java 7u45 / OS X Maverick doesn't work

I just want to report MarvinSpace applets (for example, http://www.chemaxon.com/marvin/examples/applets/space/embed.html) are currently not working.

 

I'm using OS X Maverick, Java 7u45, and Marvin 6.1.3. The pages containing marvin applets, briefly comes up (with java logo and circular progress bar around) and asks permission, then shows gray blank element. I tested it with Safari 7 that comes with OS X.

Dear Sunhwan!

You can find answer in this topic: https://www.chemaxon.com/forum/ftopic11669.html

Thanks. I already saw the post, but it still didn't work. I've got a) spinning circle with java logo, b) dialog asking permission to run the applet, then c) blank gray box in place of applet. I've attached the screenshot of the final stage (blank gray box).

I'm using OS X 10.9 (13A603), Safari 7.0 (9537.71), and Java 7u45.

Dear Sunhwan!

   Have you tried to delete the Java cache?

Hi,

Yes, clearing the Java cache is crucial.

Beside that, could you enable the Java Console, and send us the log messages?

It should be located in the Java Control Panel's Advanced tab ('Show Console' radio button).

You should fully exit Safari, and reopen it.

Does MarvinSketch applet work OK?

I've cleared temp java files and tried one of marvin space applet example page (http://www.chemaxon.com/marvin/examples/applets/space/embed.html).

 

Below is my console message:

Hi,

In order to be able to run MarvinSpace Java has to have a valid temp folder.

Either you have to configure Java in Java Control Panel, Temporary Internet Files, Settings...:

- 'Keep temporary files on my computer' should be checked.

- Location should point a valid path on your computer where you have write permission.

- At least 1 GB should be allocated for 'Disk Space'.

Or, you have Oracle/Apple Java installation issues.

In that case I suggest to reinstall whichever you have installed.

(I found, that others have issues with Java installation on Mavericks:

https://discussions.apple.com/message/23573197#23573197

https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5491042

so, uninstall/reinstall might be tricky.)

Andras

Thanks, I have temporary folder in place with more than 1 GB of space allocated. I upgraded from 10.8, and I probably already had java 6. Reinstalling seems needs a lot of hassle, I'll try later and let you know how it went.

Thanks,
Sunhwan
