When I start the Arduino IDE I get the following errors:

Hi @autoantwort ,
we bundle our own JDK in the IDE so the one installed locally shouldn't hurt in any way.
Did this start all in a sudden or after an update of a mayor component (like the operating system) ?

[autoantwort]

I only updated the Arduino IDE from 1.8.12 to 1.8.13. Version 1.8.12 is still working.

[mepster]

I'm getting a similar error when I start 1.8.13. Version 1.8.12 still works. (Just uploaded a sketch successfully with 1.8.12.)

Also, in 1.8.13 the Tools->Port menu is greyed out, but looks normal (with several Port options as usual) on 1.8.12.

I am 90% sure that 1.8.13 worked for me in June 2020. Since then I believe I have upgraded to macOS Catalina. Sorry I can't be more definitive than that. :-(

Here are some more details:

Here are the errors I get immediately on launch with Arduino 1.8.13 (but not 1.8.12):

Thank you.

I still use macOS High Sierra and not Catalina, so I don't think that the OS has a affect or they introduced something in a minor release.

[cmaglie]

May you start the IDE from the terminal? It should print some debugging info that you should copy&paste here.

To start the IDE from the terminal:

1. open a terminal
2. drag&drop the Arduino IDE app icon into the terminal (it should automatically type the path to the application for you)
3. manually delete the ending space and add /Contents/MacOS/Arduino at the end. The final command line should look like: /Users/cmaglie/Downloads/Arduino.app/Contents/MacOS/Arduino
4. hit enter and copy here all the output until the Arduino IDE is up and running

It seems it's picking the Java 8 installed in /Library/Internet Plug-Ins/JavaAppletPlugin.plugin/Contents/Home/lib/jli/libjli.dylib.

Probably we should let the IDE ignore the system-installed Java and always use the bundled JRE.

In the meantime, I would try two workarounds:

• Try to upgrade Java 8 to the latest version
  or
• Uninstall Java 8 (IIRC the same installer can be used to uninstall)

[autoantwort]

I simply deleted the file /Library/Internet Plug-Ins/JavaAppletPlugin.plugin. Now everything works.

Thanks, removing the Oracle Java (I was already on the latest version) got rid of those errors on 1.8.13 for me too.

@autoantwort looks like you are on MacOS (me too). To really clean up the Oracle java you actually have to do all this:

sudo rm -fr /Library/Internet\ Plug-Ins/JavaAppletPlugin.plugin
sudo rm -fr /Library/PreferencePanes/JavaControlPanel.prefPane
sudo rm -fr ~/Library/Application\ Support/Oracle/Java

according to the instructions at java.com.

Thanks a lot guys!

P.S. I still have the Apple version of java installed here, which seems to cause no problem:
