Missing Data Laboratory

[rburke2233]

Running Gephi 0.9 (0.9-20140621.160828-388 to be exact) using Java 1.8. (Also happens using Java 1.7)

The Data Laboratory window does not show up: no columns, no data, nothing. This happens on Les Miserables and on my own datasets. This does not happen using 0.8.2. Not sure if this is a known bug or some specific configuration / compatibility issue. I have reproduced the problem on multiple (Windows) machines.

I would happily keep using 0.8.2 but my school is migrating to Java 8 for our labs so I do not have any choice. I am using Gephi for a course in the Fall so this is making me very nervous.

Any idea when a stable Java 8 compatible version will be released?

Hi Robin,

in the 0.9-SNAPSHOT the data laboratory is not yet fully migrated to the new graph engine and hence is disabled.
If 0.8.2 still works for you, you could check out the recently patched 0.8.2 branch which now should work with JDK8 on linux and windows at least.

Best regards,
Holger

I have the latest 0.8.2 snapshot running on Windows with Java 1.8. Thanks for the tip.

Any idea what to do with my Mac users? I tried compiling the 0.8.2 snapshot on OS X with Java 1.8 but was not successful.
