ODK Aggregate installer failures on MacOSX

Mitch_S · October 17, 2013, 7:17pm

Everyone,

It has come to my attention that the latest Google software to upload a
configured server to Google AppEngine now requires the latest Java software
-- Java 7.

Unfortunately, MacOSX does not yet support this software via its Software
Update mechanism.

Therefore, the MacOSX installer for ODK Aggregate 1.4 will be unable to
upload the configured ODK Aggregate server to Google AppEngine.

If you need to update a Google AppEngine server, you will need to either
(1) use a Windows computer to do so or
(2) find and follow directions for installing Java 7 on MacOSX. I.e,,
http://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/webnotes/install/mac/mac-jdk.html and
http://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/webnotes/install/mac/mac-install-faq.html

Thank you Mitch. I have indeed upgraded my Max OSX to Java 7, but still obtained an error message as follows.

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.UnsupportedClassVersionError: com/google/appengine/tools/admin/AppCfg : Unsupported major.minor version 51.0

I emailed ODK and asked for advice. I received an email response that said the path to the correct java version may be incorrect. I typed 'java version', as instructed, in the command line, and now received this error.

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: version
Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: version
at java.net.URLClassLoader$1.run(URLClassLoader.java:202)
at java.security.AccessController.doPrivileged(Native Method)

at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClass(ClassLoader.java:306)
at sun.misc.Launcher$AppClassLoader.loadClass(Launcher.java:301)
at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClass(ClassLoader.java:247)

I am posting this here, as was advised by the contact person at the ODK help email.

Thanks in advance for your assistance.

Please paste the result of "java -version". Notice that is two words 'java'
space '-version' and you need the hyphen.

Try shutting down and restarting your Mac. This may resolve the Unsupported
major.minor issue (you may have upgraded but the current login / terminal
may be using older values).

If that does not resolve the issue, then you have not successfully upgraded
your MacOSX system to Java 7. Re-read the instructions and re-do each of
the steps.

It is likely that your PATH environment variable has an incorrect reference
to the old Java 6 software or that your JAVA_HOME is not set to the new
Java 7 software.
