Issue Executing java -jar sikulixide-2.0.5-win.jar

[Sharon Milner]

I've been using sikulixide-2.0.5-win.jar all week without issue and now when I try to launch the IDE, it brings up a dialog box that says, "SikuliX-IDE 2.0.5 is starting on Java 17" but the IDE never comes back up. I tried deleting the jar and re-downloading it but the issue remains. Apparently something changed in my user profile because I had someone use the exact same jar file on their machine and it works just fine. I've checked Task Manager and "ps -ef" with no luck.

This is being run on Windows 64-bit OS.

I start the jar as follows:

java -jar sikulixide-2.0.5-win.jar

Prior to the issue I was trying to delete some log files that my Sikuli script created. Apparently, I must have exited my script before closing a file because when I tried to delete, I got a "resource busy" error. I was finally able to fix the issue but then the Sikuli application went down never to return again :(.
