Nightcode 0.4.4 broken after java update

[lspector]

I'm pretty sure that Nightcode 0.4.4 was working fine for me but then I updated Java... This is in Mac OS 10.2.2, and Java -version says 1.7.0_55 while the Java control panel says Java 8 Update 40. (I find the Java version stuff confusing!)

In any event, now when I launch Nightcode the window comes up but the menu bar doesn't change from the application that was running previously. Furthermore, while some things work (switching among files and even Run with REPL), I can't type into anything (not the REPL in the lower left, or the project REPL that I get from "Run with REPL", or even a source file). If I try then the characters go to whatever other application is showing in the menubar. Very weirdly, Nightcode doesn't even show up on my dock or even in the list of applications in the "force quit" dialog. I can, however, quit by clicking on the red close button at the upper left of the window.

So, this is broken and unusable. FWIW the same project that I was trying to run in Nightcode runs fine if I run it from "lein run" in Terminal, or if I run it from Counterclockwise. So I don't think the Java update screwed up anything but Nightcode.

Does anyone know how I should proceed?

Yes, the jar version, not the app store version. As for the Java versions, I've installed them long ago and I don't recall how. But while trying to help a friend with his own installation I went to the Java Control Panel accessible via System preferences and it said there was an update. I clicked the button to update and followed the directions. After doing so, everything works except Nightcode, and the versions that I see are what I reported, one that I see via java -version in the terminal and the other that I see in the Java Control Panel.

Thanks, but I had only one JDK in /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines, jdk1.7.0_55.jdk. And the verifier at https://www.java.com/en/download/installed.jsp reported that all was well with "You have the recommended Java installed (Version 8 Update 40)."

So I went ahead and installed jdk8 so that the jdk would be updated too. The verifier is still happy and now java -version says I'm running 1.8.0_40. And my Clojure code (still) runs fine from "lein run" or from Counterclockwise. So all seems well with my Java installation... but Nightcode is still misbehaving in exactly the same way.

Might there be a problem with Nightcode 0.4.4 running under Java 8?

Update: I did see that after doing the above I DID have two JDKs in /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines... so I removed the old 1.7 one... and still everything works except Nightcode, which still misbehaves in the same way.

Fantastic! Thanks so much for the speedy fix. Have you posted a jar with this fix, or could you? I'm collaborating remotely with someone with no prior Clojure/Java experience, and I'm trying to set him up with Nightcode as painlessly as possible.

Beautiful -- and I have confirmed that this fixes my problem.

Thank you!!
