Java exception in fresh installation

mwiegand · September 17, 2018, 9:56am

While facing some issues I installed Knime from scratch. After opening it the first time the following Java exception was thrown (OS X):

Clueless. I can only ask (possibly dumb) questions:

Does the application come up or does it end with that output and never shows the UI?
Are you pointing KNIME to use an existing workspace?
Does adding “-clean” to the knime.ini file help? (Somewhere above “-vmargs”)?

No worries, there are no dump questions. Please find my answers below:

Knime does start with the error but UI is shown always (could be considered trivial)
Yes, the default workspace is configured and is always used by default w/o prompting.
Did started with -clean before -vmargs still getting “Could not create the view: org.eclipse.pde.runtime.LogView” with the mentioned stack trace

Happy to help so don’t hesitate to bother me with more questions

(Sorry for having this slip… but in any case:)
Do you see any effects of that exception (like views not properly rendering or nodes misbehaving or…) or is it just that log message in the log files?
