Mikael Asplund Posted August 29, 2019 Report Share Posted August 29, 2019 Do I seriously need to buy a java license to use this tool, or is there a way to disable java support and get it running without java installed? I have no java, or java based languages in my environment or code, but it's asking me to install java as soon as I try to run a git merge. Oddly, this seems to have very little mention in any help, etc. I can't seem to find anything when googling. 😞 Semanticmerge isn't written in java, is it? 😱 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikael Asplund Posted September 18, 2019 Author Report Share Posted September 18, 2019 No one here knows? Semanticmerge seems great, and I really want to use it... :-\ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calbzam Posted September 18, 2019 Report Share Posted September 18, 2019 Hi, Semantic Merges needs java for java and C++ parser. Is this your case? If you run one of the C# samples included with the tool, you shouldn't need to install java. Could you try it? Regards, Carlos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikael Asplund Posted September 18, 2019 Author Report Share Posted September 18, 2019 My case is C++... It seemed unlikely that I would need Java for that, but you're saying I do? That's unfortunate... Seemed like a really useful tool, but I've managed without it before, so I guess I can manage going forward too. :-) Thank you for your answer!

calbzam Posted September 19, 2019 Report Share Posted September 19, 2019 Hi again, The C++ parser is very complex and it uses some Eclipse libraries. That's the reason why you need java installed. There is still a free java version, right? Open jdk. I mean why you discard Semantic Merge just because you need to install java for the C++ parser? Regards, Carlos.

Mikael Asplund Posted September 19, 2019 Author Report Share Posted September 19, 2019 I never really considered that, just seemed too messy... But looked it up and found a nice installer from IBMs site. I'll give it a try. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
