<div class="markdown_content"><p>I am having a bizarre problem where DrJava won't run except as me (a tech).</p> <p>When I try and run it as any other user (including users who have the exact same rights and group policies as me) nothing happens.</p> <p>When I run<br /> java -jar i:\programs\DrJava\drjava-stable-20130901-r5756.jar from a command line as myself, DrJava opens up no problem.</p> <p>When I run<br /> java -jar i:\programs\DrJava\drjava-stable-20130901-r5756.jar from a command line as <br /> another user, DrJava throws out the following<br /> Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NullPointerException<br /> at edu.rice.cs.drjava.DrJava.handleCommandLineArgs(DrJava.java:456)<br /> at edu.rice.cs.drjava.DrJava.main(DrJava.java:243)</p> <p>We are running JRE 7u17, and I have also tried this with JDK 7u40.<br /> We are running Windows 7 SP1 as the PC OS.</p> <p>I have tried this on several different machines, as many different users, the only one that can open DrJava without error seems to be me. I have even moved the files local to the C drive, still the same result.</p> <p>any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated!</p> <p>Thanks in advance,<br /> Taylor Hammerling<br /> Mukwonago Area School District Network Engineer</p></div>
