TMCbeans does not open after installation

Question

I'm currently planning to learn Java through the MOOC course but I'm unable to open the tmcbeans app after installation. I have tried reinstalling it but it does not seem to do anything. Any help would be much appreciated.

Thank you.

Answer 1

I was facing the same issue on Windows 10. I found out that TMCBeans is currently not compatible with OpenJDK Versions > 11. Thus, I did the following things for TMCBeans to function correctly.

1. Download exactly AdoptOpenJDK11 for your OS, open development environment for Java 11, from the archives.
2. Try launching TMCBeans again.
3. If you're still facing issues, try following the instructions of this Reddit post's first comment.

Answer 2

I signed up for MOOC too, and what worked for me was to follow the steps to locate the JVM path of this video

My java ended up being under /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/temurin-11.jdk/Contents/Home

I then updated and uncommented the line jdkhome= of tmcbeans.conf (as described in the comment above), saved and relaunched tmcbeans. It worked perfectly after that.

Good luck!
