Archi 2.6 and 64 bit linux

Archi 2.6 kept on crashing even after I anstalled a 32bit Java runtime environment (this was due to Archi still trying to use 64bit libraries)


Installed Java runtime environment for 32bit but Archi still crashed ( the moment you add a object onto a view).

The fix for this is to edit the Archi32.ini file and add the path to the vm it must use e.g.

Archi32.ini

-vm
/usr/lib/jvm/32/jdk1.7.0_51_32/jdk1.7.0_51/jre/bin/java
-vmargs
-Xms128m
-Xmx512m
-XX:MaxPermSize=256m
-Dosgi.requiredJavaVersion=1.6
-Dosgi.instance.area=@user.home/uk.ac.bolton/Archi
-Dosgi.configuration.area=@user.home/uk.ac.bolton/Archi/configuration

Then run Archi via Archi32-Ubuntu.sh and all should be fine.

Java Decompiler

Had some class files that I needed to decompile and found JD-GUI to be a great program for this.

Only one snag, it requires 32bit gtk libraries.

How to install JD-GUI on Ubuntu 64-bit:

sudo apt-get install ia32-libs-gtk

after that just run the application jd-gui

and the source coe can e saved with "Save All Sources"
