My Os is 10.14.6 When I launch Eartquake Bulletin it bounces in the dock & quits. I'll send a crash report, if you could tell me were it would be located.

Please check if there is a log file in in /Users/<USERNAME>/Library/Earthquake Bulletin/log. You can attach it here if you want. If there's no log in that folder or the folder does not exist, please open a terminal window and launch java -version to check if you have a suitable JRE installed. I just tried the application on macOS 11 with JRE 11. Thanks.

Here's the info:
java version "1.8.0_301"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_301-b09)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.301-b09, mixed mode)

I also checked the Java Control Panel. It says"Your system has the recommended version of Java. Java 8 Update 311". Hope this helps.

I forgot to mention there was no folder in my home library.

It seems the application is not starting at all.

Please:

  1. make sure you downloaded the right package for your architecture (probably x86_64 based on you OS version);
  2. open a terminal window in the folder containing the app;
  3. execute java -XstartOnFirstThread -jar Earthquake\ Bulletin.app/Contents/Resources/Java/EarthquakeBulletin.jar

The application should start or print an error.

Please launch the command omitting "execute"; the command is only:

java -XstartOnFirstThread -jar Earthquake\ Bulletin.app/Contents/Resources/Java/EarthquakeBulletin.jar

If you launch

ls -la

what you see?

You are in your home folder (~) and Earthquake Bulletin.app is not in that folder.

To make things simpler:

  1. download https://github.com/albertus82/earthquake-bulletin/releases/download/v2.3.1/earthquake-bulletin-2.3.1-cocoa-macosx-x86_64-app.tar.gz to your Desktop
  2. double-click the downloaded file so it unpacks itself; the Earthquake Bulletin icon should appear on the Desktop.
  3. open a terminal
  4. cd Desktop
  5. java -XstartOnFirstThread -jar Earthquake\ Bulletin.app/Contents/Resources/Java/EarthquakeBulletin.jar

You're welcome. Probably I figured out why the application won't start on your machine: the reason is that you tried to start the wrong version before.

Please open a terminal window and execute the following command (copy & paste it if you can't type the ~ symbol):

mv ~/.swt ~/.swt.old

Then launch the application double clicking the icon on the Desktop and let me know if it works.

I played with the app & got it working.]
