Java 1.8u40 OSX , jalview webstart does not show menu

Hi Hari,
Thank you so much I have been having this issue as well and after a lot of frustrated googling your workaround worked like a charm!
If there’s any way to help fix this issue I’d be happy to help. I’m attaching some log files if anyone wants to work on this.

I got a temporary workaround despite running Java 1.8 u40 I downloaded the standalone JVM containing version of Jalview from the website This Jalview.app does not launch on my Mac OSX running 10.10.2 Yosemite…it just blinks and disappears I then looked at the readme for the standalone app and am launching Jalview from the commandline using this alias.: alias jalview=‘java -Djava.ext.dirs=/Applications/Jalview/lib -jar /Applications/Jalview/jalview.jar’ I still dont know why the java webstart run jalview.jnlp does not show menus when run under the identical setup. I am also hoping that I can get the app to work. Thanks Hari

I am sorry I know I have seen this problem before and even solved it…but
all ,my googling fails to yield a solution

I just accidentally upgraded my Java on OSX to the latest Java from Oracle
JDK 1.8u40

Now my jalview webstart windows show up fine but the master menu is
missing.

How can I get the menu back on OSX.

Thanks
Hari
