Hi,

looks like that for some reason the Java installation you are using does not contain javax.xml.bind.DatatypeConverter.

Please make sure to use Oracle Java 8 or OpenJDK 8 for RapidMiner Studio.

Regards,

Marco

Assuming you are using openjdk9, add the following line to the shell script

--add-modules=java.xml.bind

right after

eval \"$JAVA\"

thanks!!! it's work for me:

if [ $# -gt 0 ]; then
eval \"$JAVA\" --add-modules=java.xml.bind $JVM_OPTIONS -cp \"${rmClasspath}\" com.rapidminer.launcher.GUILauncher \"$@\"
else
eval \"$JAVA\" --add-modules=java.xml.bind $JVM_OPTIONS -cp \"${rmClasspath}\" com.rapidminer.launcher.GUILauncher
fi

Hi,

Please note that we do not support Java 9 yet. To properly run Studio, you need the latest Oracle Java 8.

HI, where exactly is the shell script you addressed here?
Assuming you are using openjdk9, add the following line to the shell script
If you mean Rapidminer.sh file, I don't see any line there with \"$JAVA\" string

Hi,

Please see above. You need Java 8.

I had this same problem. For anyone wondering how to fix. You need to install Java8 as mentioned above. However, a majority of us have 8 below or above. You don't need to remove any java versions, just activate Java8.

First, If you don't have 8 installed you can do:
sudo apt install openjdk-8-jdk openjdk-8-jre

Then type:
sudo update-alternatives --config java

Output:

There are 2 choices for the alternative java (providing /usr/bin/java).

Selection Path Priority Status

------------------------------------------------------------

0 /usr/lib/jvm/java-11-openjdk-amd64/bin/java 1111 auto mode

1 /usr/lib/jvm/java-11-openjdk-amd64/bin/java 1111 manual mode

* 2 /usr/lib/jvm/java-8-openjdk-amd64/jre/bin/java 1081 manual mode

Press <enter> to keep the current choice[*], or type selection number:

Type the selection ID to activate that version. e.g. in my case: 2

Java8 Activated.

Then do the following to run:
chmod +x RapidMiner-Studio.sh
sh RapidMiner-Studio.sh

Just to also mention, I didn't need to add the --add-modules=java.xml.bind

Thank you it's work for me to add :

First, If you don't have 8 installed you can do:

sudo apt install openjdk-8-jdk openjdk-8-jre

This solution works for Ubuntu 18.04, we fixed this problem using similar approach based on @Knights 's solution:

First install Java 8 JDK, JRE

sudo apt install openjdk-8-jdk openjdk-8-jre
sudo update-alternatives --config java

The above command returns something like this in your terminal:

*0 /usr/lib/jvm/java-11-openjdk-amd64/bin/java 1111 auto mode

1 /usr/lib/jvm/java-11-openjdk-amd64/bin/java 1111 manual mode

2 /usr/lib/jvm/java-8-openjdk-amd64/jre/bin/java 1081 manual mode

Copy java-8 path from the output in your terminal i.e., something like this, /usr/lib/jvm/java-8-openjdk-amd64/jre/

and add a line to RapidMiner-Studio.sh to set the JAVA_HOME path, just below the comment "# JAVA_HOME set, so use it" and before the "if [ ! -z "${JAVA_HOME}" ] ; then" statement, it should look something like this

# JAVA_HOME set, so use it

JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-8-openjdk-amd64/jre/

if [ ! -z "${JAVA_HOME}" ] ; then

run RapidMiner-Studio.sh in terminal

We had same issue with RapidMiner 7 as well and the same solutions works both for RapidMiner 7 and 9.

This approach helps in not setting Java 8 as the the default in your system, in my case Java 11 remains default, but for RapidMiner Java 8 is used.

It's been eight years since Java 8 was released. Is Rapidminer going to wait until the extended support of Java 8 ends in December 2030 before they upgrade their Java version?
