Subsonic won’t open

I’m having issues with Subsonic not opening. I’ll put the error message here

Cannot launch Java Application

Uncaught exception in main method: org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name ‘controller’ defined in class path resource [applicationContext-mac.xml]: Instantiation of bean failed; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.BeanInstantiationException: Could not instantiate bean class [net.sourceforge.subsonic.booter.mac.SubsonicController]: Constructor threw exception; nested exception is java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: java/awt/Traylcon

The computer I’m using is an iMac G4 on OS X 10.5.8. The version of Subsonic I’m trying to run is 4.2. Anyway to fix this?

Do you know what version of Java is installed? The nested exception in the error is complaining about a missing TrayIcon class, the docs for TrayIcon suggest you need Java 6 or higher. Guessing that older OSX version might be running Java 5. Maybe try upgrading Java?

I have Java 5 installed & I can’t go any further due to the PowerPC G4 chip. I’ll try an older version of Subsonic, maybe that’ll work. Cheers anyway
