I am having troubles getting project builder to start. When I try to open it I get a zoom rect and then nothing. Looking at the console tells me the following: dyld: /Developer/Applications/Project Builder.app/Contents/MacOS/Project Builder can't open library: /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/JavaKit.framework/Versions/A/JavaKit (No such file or directory, errno = 2) I looked in the directory stated for the file JavaKit, and no it is not there. I have reinstalled the developer tools to no avail. Can you suggest anything? Will

  I don't know about Project Builder but I had a similar problem with my TINI software. I Installed the latest JAVA and enabled JVM.
  
  Java 2 SDK, Standard Edition
  Version 1.4.2
  Microsoft Windows
  
  And tried all of the instructions in the TINI documentation. The comm.jar and win32com.dll have to be manually installed in the Java bin and lib directories. As well as resetting your path such as
  
  SET PATH=C:\windows;C:\windows\command;C:\Progra~1\j2sdk_nb\j2sdk1~1.2\bin
  
  I even tried setting a permanent classpath as some sites instructed to no avail.
  
  This is my path to the new J2 SDK I also have a separate JAVA directory with a previous installation of Sun's JRE but I'm not going to worry about both right now.
  
  After doing all of that the "getting started" instructions still failed to function with error messages about not being able to find the "main" .class I couldn't get the JavaKit to load much less worry about TINI programing.
  
  To simplify matters I put the comm.jar file in the TINI directory. I finally found a website that gave step by step instructions for creating the command line to start the program. I then created a batch file with this command string. Yours will be different depending on your application and paths.
  
  javaw -cp C:\TINI\bin\tini.jar;C:\TINI\comm.jar JavaKit
  
  Bam, JavaKit came up with all of my ports listed Yea!
  
  But no, there is no recognizable "JavaKit" file or application on my PC either, the closest is JavaKitSrc.jar and that is not directly useful.
  
  That got the JavaKit GUI to materialize at least.
  
  That's all I have to offer, I only achieved this small amount of success ten minutes ago after fighting with it all day. This is all new to me, but I hope you may find something useful in this post
  
  
  

• Project Builder slightly out of tune?

  My working hypothesis I give you is this. "/System/Library/PrivateFrameworks...." is part of the os x system update and not the developer tools update. In os 9.x and earlier, the system file (and rom) manager routines were called by programs to make programming language higher than assembly level. Now, I suppose that we have a folder that holds these buidling tools, the folder above. I suspect that these "resources" are copied into program internals to give some sort of "continuity" to older os x programs. Even if the frameworks in the system folder change, many of the old programs continue to work, until you attempt to recompile the projects they come from. Then, you might have to do some "voodoo" with the includes and your intuition. I had to with a dumb speech program I made. Somehow, project builder itself is so fundamental that it can't "hold it's stuff", I bet.
  
  When I get stuff on my developer cd's the dumb installs don't make me think about this distinction, if you get things from the free web site maybe it assumes you will have done the os x system update. I go to the apple store with my airport enhanced TiG4 and get the huge os x updates at high speed without sweating whether I need to.
  
  I have a PB that works with the latest
  1. os x 10.1.2
  2. some sort of updater update
  3. latest developer tools (how you identify such, I don't know)
  
  Maybe if one of these dudes is out of synch PB won't work.
  I suspect the new updater makes sure that the developer tools and os x system stuff are synchronized in some way.
  
  That's the best guess I have to get you started.

  I am having exactly the same problem: PB won't start. Console provides the message: dyld: /Developer/Applications/JavaBrowser.app/Contents/MacOS/JavaBrowser can't open library: /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/JavaKit.framework/Versions/A/JavaKit (No such file or directory, errno = 2)
  
  I am running the latest, I think, of everything: OSX 10.1.4, java version "1.3.1"
  Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.3.1-root-020219-20:07)
  Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.3.1, mixed mode), Dec '01 Dev Tools with Dec '01 updates.
  
  What baffles me is that I had it working just last week. However, I manage to trash my perl installation and wound up wiping my HD clean and reinstalling OS X, and then running through all the system software updates using the Sys Pref utility. Perl now works fine, but PB can't find JavaKit (because it is not there).
  
  Clues anyone?
