fyi github also has a wiki feature.

Hi.
Thank you very much for the wonderful tool.
I have encountered a problem with jeveassets update.
Couple of weeks ago jeveassets started crashing after updating (fetching assets from APIs).
The error message after the crash advises to use jmemory file in the program folder. The file does not help.
Has anyone encoutered this error? If yes, is it fixable?

@Churka Boom
I'm having the exam same issue and have been for almost a month. I thought I had fixed it a week or two ago. I re-installed everything from scratch and set up all my APIs, and it worked again for about a week, but now I'm back to having the same issue.


Basically, when I go to update everything, it all works nicely until it gets to Fetching current prices (just as aside, I don't think it's the actual fetching of prices that causes it, as it will crash even when there is still a delay left before fetching is allowed). It will then hard crash Java so badly that I have to use the Task Manager to kill everything including the Java(TM) Platform SE binary (32 bit) process. I can tell from task manager that the crash is a critical error, but nothing more. Every now and again it will ask me to run jmemory.jar, but that seems to do nothing (not sure if it matters but this system has 16GB of ram).

Once this happens the first time, it will continue to happen every time thereafter. Restarting the program, the machine, waiting days, nothing will help other than a complete re-install.

@Churka Boom
Sorry for the long reply time.
jmemory.jar does work most of the time, but, it doesn't work all the time (I do not know why).

Try the following from the command line (in the jEveAssets directory):
java -Xmx4g -jar jeveassets.jar

You can also make a bat file if you're on windows.

Hey guys, just to provide you some additional data points:

@Golden Gnu
First, thank you so much for this awesome program. As an industrialist to dabbles in a little of everything, if I was told I could have only one external program to use, it'd be this one. I've been using it twice a day almost religiously since last June. Set up some way to give donations, and I'll gladly buy you a beer or two. Anyway, I went ahead and ran the command you suggested, this was the output:

C:\OPSEC\jEveAssets>java -Xmx4g -jar jeveassets.jar
Invalid maximum heap size: -Xmx4g
The specified size exceeds the maximum representable size.
Error: Could not create the Java Virtual Machine.
Error: A fatal exception has occurred. Program will exit.

@Churka Boom

Thanks for the tip - it worked perfectly. It does suck that we lose the logging features. I've got perfect records going back to June, and would like to continue. But at the end of the day, just knowing my networth as quickly as jEveAssets provides it is huge in itself for me.

@Counselor Gina
If you install 64bit java, the above command should work.
Then you should be able to re-enable transaction/journal history again.
It's simply running out of memory (RAM), the above command give it access to more memory, if you run into the problem again, you just change to command a little:
java -Xmx5g -jar jeveassets.jar
java -Xmx6g -jar jeveassets.jar
java -Xmx7g -jar jeveassets.jar
etc.
until it works again...

@Dextrome Thorphan
Yes, that is the way it works now.
Order history wouldn't be too hard to add, though.
But, I need time to do it (and the million other features in the backlog).

ok so can anyone help i have downloaded the zip file but i cant seem to find a way to run the program, what am I missing?

Not a bug report, but two linked questions:

1- I need access to jEveAssets from multiple computers, so I put my jEveAssets folder (containing the folders "data" and "lib" as well as the jeveassets.jar file) onto Dropbox. The data for the Tracker tool didn't carry over. I found some settings and such in "C:\Users\USERNAME\.jeveassets". How do I ensure that the historical data gets synchronized between computers?

2- According to the Wiki, I can add a "-portable" to make it, well, portable. I'm assuming this would solve my sync issues, but I'm worried that this would delete or ignore the historical data. Can I simply add the "-portable" to an already-used jEveAssets?

Thanks!

Low importance feature:
- Export filter
Preferably in plain text format like EVE Fitting ship setups so they can be shared to the forum.

Any update for mosaic
