Bug Description

***** known problem

Java 7 is not yet supported by Sikuli. Java 6 has to be used.

workaround: faq 1958

---------------------------------------

Steps:

1. Install Sikuli IDE on a Windows 64 bit OS referencing a 32-bit Java 7 exe
2. Start Sikuli IDE
3. Select Take Screenshot

Expected:

The screen should gray out as the tutorial shows, allowing me to take a screenshot of a particular part of my screen.

Actual:

Sikuli IDE closes and nothing happens. Trying to start sikuli IDE up again does nothing as well. Had to reinstall Sikuli IDE to be able to open the IDE again.

How does one go about making Sikuli X work? Revert to java 6 ? Or is there some workaround for that?

@ Simon
Java 6 can be used in parallel with Java 7, but Sikuli currently needs Java 6.
