Sweet Home 3D App Stops at Splash Screen
I'm trying to run the Sweet Home 3D 5.1 app on a Mac OS X 10.10.5 system that has Java 8 update 66 installed. When I launch the Sweet Home 3D 5.1 app it makes it to the splash screen and no further. It doesn't seem to crash, as I can eventually quit the program normally.
I've also tried the Java Web Start version and that seems to launch without a problem. I don't know why the Java Web Start version is launching properly, but the app is not.
If it is any help, the Java console that appears after the Java Web Start version launches displays the following:

Re: Sweet Home 3D App Stops at Splash Screen
The information in Java console doesn't prevent Sweet Home 3D to run so it must be something else. Did you also try the DMG installer version? It requires to install Apple Java 6 but it might run differently.

Re: Sweet Home 3D App Stops at Splash Screen
Hi Emmanuel,
Thank you for the reply.
The Sweet Home 3D app from the DMG installer is the version that is not opening past the splash screen. The Java Web Start version seems to be launching okay.
I did not install Apple's Java 6 to try to get Sweet Home 3D to run. I am trying to avoid using the legacy version. I used the instructions found at Oracle's JDK 8 on Mac OS X to install Java 8 update 66 on my Mac OS X 10.10.5 system. With these instructions, the DMG version of Sweet Home 3D is not asking for Apple's Java 6 upon launch, but it is getting stuck at the splash screen.
Is it possible to get the DMG version of Sweet Home 3D to work on my system with the way it is configured with Java 8?
