Due to security guidelines for downloaded files on certain MacOS platforms, few steps have to be executed in order to get the inspectIT UI (RCP) running.

Warning
titleImportant

Please note that:

  • You should preferably start the UI using the run.sh file located in the root inspectit/ directory. You might need to first run the command: chmod +x run.sh 
  • You should have Java 8 installed on your machine. Java 9 is not supported, if you have Java 9 as default please run as:
Code Block
./inspectIT.app/Contents/MacOS/inspectIT -vm  /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.8.0_131.jdk


Removing Quarantine Flag

By default, MacOS marks all downloaded files, which can be executed, as unsecure and adds a quarantine flag that prevents the access to it. Unfortunately, all plugins used by the inspectIT UI are shipped as Jar files which will be classified as unsecure. Due to this, the inspectIT UI is not able to load the required bundles and the start will fail.
