Test Java[edit]
When encountering 'strange' problems with Vuze, the first thing to do is to check that Java itself works normally. Vuze is a Java program, which runs on top of a 'Java virtual machine' runtime program. You have either installed Java separately, or Vuze has installed it automatically for you.
- You can test Java with the following webpage:
- http://www.java.com/en/download/help/testvm.xml
If your Java works ok, you should see a summary of your java version.
Which Java version Vuze is using?[edit]
By using the 'Help / About Vuze' command in Vuze, you should see the current Java version as part of the short system summary text.
- Verify that Vuze uses the Java version you think it should, as you might have multiple Java versions installed in your system.
Example of the system summary:
Note: You can copy-paste that system summary text with mouse, so that it can be attached to a bug report or forum discussion.
Java installed by Vuze installer to non-regular place[edit]
If there was no Java installed in your computer when you installed Vuze, the Vuze installer (EXE4J) may install Java (Java Runtime environment 'JRE') for you. Depending on your operating system and its settings, the installed Java may end up at some non-regular place, and that may cause trouble later when you try to update Java.
For example, in Windows the installed Java JRE may be in
or in
If you notice that there is a Java JRE installed in such a place, you might consider deleting it and reinstalling the newest Oracle Java to the normal place.
Based on forum discussion, it may even be that the Oracle Java version checker checks the normal Java version, but does not notice the special Java installed by the Vuze installer. Evidence of that private Java JRE is e.g. if you see error messages with the string EXE4J_JAVA_HOME.
How to update to the latest Oracle Java version[edit]
Using an old Java version, or having more than one installed, may cause severe problems like 100% CPU usage! If you have installed Vuze but it is crashing or behaving strangely (eg. no windows display after the program launches) you possibly need to upgrade your Java.
- The latest official Java is version 7u3 (1.7.0_03) as of March 2012.
- The latest version of the still common Java 6 is update 31 (1.6.0_31) as of March 2012. This is also the version offered by Java's update system.
- You can verify that you have the newest java installed: Detect Java version
- Manual download: http://java.com/en/download/manual.jsp (still Java 6 as of March 2012)
- Java 7: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/java-se-jre-7-download-432155.html
Windows[edit]
Installing Java[edit]
You must be running as an administrator to be able to install Java successfully. If your regular user account is a limited user (following the best practices for safe computing), you will need to temporarily switch the account to an administrative user in order to install Java successfully. After Java is installed on that account, you can switch that account back to a limited user account.
Java troubleshooting issues[edit]
Outdated Java[edit]
You should update to the newest Java, either through the Java's built-in update checker (launched from Control Panel --> Java), or by the manual install process described below.
- Hit the Windows-key and R, enter cmd /k java -version and hit OK to find out which JRE is currently installed (or visit Oracle Java web pages: Detect Java version)
- If your version is not the latest (see above), download it from Oracle
- click on Download JRE 6
- on the next page, read the license agreement and click Accept if you accept it (you must accept it to continue)
- then click on Windows Offline Installation, Multi-language
- pay careful attention to WHERE you save the file.
- Shut down Azureus
- Uninstall every Java you may find in Start->Settings->Control panel->Add/remove Programs
- Reboot your PC (it's very important! Don't skip this!)
- Install the latest Java JRE
More than one Java installed[edit]
Oracle says that you are able to have multiple JRE versions installed, but in case you experience problems there, you might remove older versions.
- If you should already have the latest Java version check Start/Programs to see if there's more than one J2SE Runtime Environment.
- Shut down Vuze
- Uninstall every Java you may find in Start->Settings->Control panel->Add/remove Programs
- Reboot your PC
- Install the latest Java again
Azureus.exe/Vuze.exe fails to launch with a 'could not create JVM' error[edit]
Alternative error messages: The JVM could not be started. The main method may have thrown an exception
This is often caused by one of two things
Os X 10.5 Download
1) EXE4J (the Vuze launcher) is finding the wrong Java version
Open a command prompt and change directory into the directory containing the Vuze executable. By default this will be
or
Then set an environment variable to enable log file creation:
Finally run Vuze
This will create a log file starting with the name
in your temporary directory - to find this directory type
Check the log file to see if you can work out what went wrong
2) You have created a .vmoptions file with invalid entries (e.g. a VM memory size that is too large). There are two places that this can reside:
and
If you find a Azureus.exe.vmoptions file in any of these locations, delete them and see if that fixes it
Removing all versions[edit]
If you can't figure things out then the best approach is to manually delete all versions of Java and Vuze and re-install Vuze.

Delete everything in the following folders (if they exist)

Configure Mac to use the correct Java[edit]
You should be able to change the preferred Java version *for applications* by using the Java Preferences utility. Make sure that Java 6 is the first in the list, before Java 5 or 4.
Linux[edit]
Most Linux variants include Oracle Java by default. It is also possible that there are additional java variants packaged in the Linux release.
To find out which version is installed in your system, run the command java -version.
The following instructions will help you install Java, e.g., if you got back 'command not found', or if you want to upgrade Java.
The following links lead to advice specific to different Linux variants.
On Ubuntu[edit]
On Debian[edit]

On OpenSUSE[edit]
On RedHat Enterprise Linux[edit]
Running with GCJ[edit]
Azureus 2.4.0.0 and greater may run with GCJ 4.1.0 or greater, however some people experience problems which does not occur with the J2SE version.

When peer-to-peer sharing via bittorrent began, there were endless clients that became available to those who wished to share files of various sizes. Over the years, building out a user-friendly, multi-functional torrent client for Mac computers has evolved from ones that simply seed bits of files, to the Java-based platform Vuze.
What is Vuze? Vuze is a one-stop JavaScript-constructed bittorrent client for Macs that not only acts as your gateway to endless files and information; it's also a file converter as well as a playback device. Using P2P file sharing, Vuze downloads pieces of files from dozens of users who seed the complete download you are looking for. Depending on your ISP and what size the said file is, this download might take only a matter of minutes. If you are downloading any media file, Vuze has the ability to convert it and even play the audio or video or read or view the content as soon as it's complete, and with Vuze Plus you can even start playing the content while the content is downloading. That's because all Vuze platforms come with an HD player plug-in. No need to open up QuickTime, DivX, or any other player separately.
Remember, when you download a torrent for Mac computers using Vuze, it not only plays on a MacBook or iMac, it runs on portable devices. Those of you who utilize Apple TV will also be able to share files and playback downloads with Vuze. Vuze is a great way to download torrents on a Mac, share files with friends or the bittorrent community, and play, read, or view any file you've just completed.
