Using different Java VMs

[aleksv]

When I use a different Java VM Ranorex doesn't recoginze any elements. Just the whole application as one object.
Will there be support for this since the Oracle VM will not be free anymore.

I used Ranorex 8.2.1 on Windows 10 with OpenJ9

Hi,

At first, try your app with most recent Ranorex 8.3.2. It does not make sense to debug something with an obsolete Ranorex version. If this does not help, please post a Ranorex snapshot (NOT screenshot) of the problematic element. Even better, post a small sample app, which can be evaluated by forum members and Ranores support. Without, at very least, Ranorex snapshot, there is not much anyone here can do or suggest. But I'm suspecting that sample app would be required here.

I downloaded the newest ranorex and tried it with OpenJDK 8/OpenJ9 and with OpenJDK 8/HotSpot.

Download both versions and run the demo "demo\jfc\Notepad\Notepad.jar" with each JavaVM. Create a new recording and try clicking some buttons.

The HotSpot version works as expected and ranorex can recognize everything fine.
The OpenJ9 version doesn't work with ranorex. No elements can be recognized except the whole window.

It would be nice if ranorex could work with different java vms since oracle java isn't free anymore.

Hi,

At the moment, Ranorex supports mainly industry-standard frameworks, which is probably not case of OpenJDK? If you wish,, you can make a feature request here...
