KNIME 4.6 SDK question

niederle · June 20, 2022, 7:48am

Hello,
I wanted to set up the KNIME SDK for 4.6. I managed to launch KNIME but I realized that I was not able to get the example workflows with right click and “Show examples”. (though it works with a ready KNIME 4.6 installation)

Screen Shot 2022-06-20 at 09.28.20

Nothing happend and I got the following error on the Eclipse console:

!ENTRY org.eclipse.ui 4 0 2022-06-20 09:18:30.848

I was wondering whether my setup is not correct.

These are the steps, I followed:

installing Temurin 17.0.3+7
checkout KNIME SDK branch “releases/2022-06”
set Target Platform as active
importing configuration and adapt JRE settings to work with java 17

Everything is running on MacOS 10.13.

Hi @niederle,

This is caused by your Launch configuration. Can you make sure the VM arguments specified in the “Arguments” tab contain the same --add-opens lines as the knime.ini of a standalone AP 4.6 installation?
It should be at least:

--add-opens=java.base/java.lang=ALL-UNNAMED
--add-opens=java.base/java.lang.invoke=ALL-UNNAMED
--add-opens=java.base/java.net=ALL-UNNAMED
--add-opens=java.base/java.nio=ALL-UNNAMED
--add-opens=java.base/java.nio.channels=ALL-UNNAMED
--add-opens=java.base/java.util=ALL-UNNAMED
--add-opens=java.base/sun.nio.ch=ALL-UNNAMED
--add-opens=java.base/sun.nio=ALL-UNNAMED
--add-opens=java.desktop/javax.swing.plaf.basic=ALL-UNNAMED
--add-opens=java.base/sun.net.www.protocol.http=ALL-UNNAMED

best,
Gabriel

Thank you Garbiel,

I used the VM arguments provided by the SDK-launch-configuration:

-server
-Dsun.java2d.d3d=false
-Dosgi.classloader.lock=classname
-XX:+UnlockDiagnosticVMOptions
-XX:+UseG1GC
-Dknime.enable.fastload=true
-ea
-Dorg.eclipse.swt.internal.gtk.cairoGraphics=false
-Dorg.eclipse.swt.internal.gtk.useCairo=false
-Dorg.eclipse.swt.browser.IEVersion=11001
-Dsun.awt.noerasebackground=true
-Dorg.eclipse.swt.internal.gtk.disablePrinting
-Xmx2G

Adding the lines you mentioned resolves he issue.
Looking at the knime.ini of a fresh KNIME 4.6 shows that there are some differences for the VM arguments (see below). How would I know which set of VM arguments is sufficient? Is there anything else, I should include?

-server
-Dsun.java2d.d3d=false
-Dosgi.classloader.lock=classname
-XX:+UnlockDiagnosticVMOptions
-XX:+UseG1GC
-Dsun.net.client.defaultReadTimeout=0
-XX:CompileCommand=exclude,javax/swing/text/GlyphView,getBreakSpot
-Dknime.xml.disable_external_entities=true
--add-opens=java.base/java.lang=ALL-UNNAMED
--add-opens=java.base/java.lang.invoke=ALL-UNNAMED
--add-opens=java.base/java.net=ALL-UNNAMED
--add-opens=java.base/java.nio=ALL-UNNAMED
--add-opens=java.base/java.nio.channels=ALL-UNNAMED
--add-opens=java.base/java.util=ALL-UNNAMED
--add-opens=java.base/sun.nio.ch=ALL-UNNAMED
--add-opens=java.base/sun.nio=ALL-UNNAMED
--add-opens=java.desktop/javax.swing.plaf.basic=ALL-UNNAMED
--add-opens=java.base/sun.net.www.protocol.http=ALL-UNNAMED
-Xmx2048m
-XstartOnFirstThread
-Xdock:icon=../Resources/knime_mac.icns
-Dorg.eclipse.swt.internal.carbon.smallFonts
-Darrow.enable_unsafe_memory_access=true
-Darrow.memory.debug.allocator=false
-Darrow.enable_null_check_for_get=false
--add-opens=java.security.jgss/sun.security.jgss.krb5=ALL-UNNAMED
--add-exports=java.security.jgss/sun.security.jgss=ALL-UNNAMED
--add-exports=java.security.jgss/sun.security.jgss.spi=ALL-UNNAMED
--add-exports=java.security.jgss/sun.security.krb5.internal=ALL-UNNAMED
--add-exports=java.security.jgss/sun.security.krb5=ALL-UNNAMED

Hi Antje,

Plugins can define lines to be added to the knime.ini on installation via a p2 action. This is what you see here as well, the five lines at the bottom of the file are defined by the kerberos extension. Bitbucket
