initializeVisualBeans does not return

SteveOgden

I am developing a Java Swing application using ArcGIS10.0 Arcobjects on Suse linux (x86_64).  Yesterday, while I was running the app, we had a power outage.  Today, when I tried to run, the app just froze.  Same with devkit samples.  Other users may run them on the same machine with no problems.  It is just on my account that it will not work.

A few debug statements show that the call to initializeVisualBeans() (the very first statement) never returns.

public static void main( String[] args )
{
   System.out.println( "BEFORE initializeVisualBeans()" );
   EngineInitializer.initializeVisualBeans();
   System.out.println( "AFTER initializeVisualBeans()" );
   //
   // the rest of the app
   //
}

I removed the .arcgis10.0 directory in my home directory hoping to solve the problem with no success.  Is there anything else I could be looking for?  For instance, are there any user files that need attention by the sysadmin?  Any help is much appreciated

Found the solution (not that anyone cares).  The mainWin service left some files in /tmp/Mw_<user name> where <user name is your login name.  I deleted all the files in this directory and voila!  The application runs again.
