Hi!
I am a beginner and I cant run Karel the robot(from the CS106A Stanford class)in Eclipse on Windows XP.After I run CollectNewspaperKarel.java, I get a blank screen shown on the picture.
I also tried Indigo version but I got the same thing.
Could you please help me?

Sorry, this forum isn't a help section for college students. And no one
here knows about Karel the Robot either: check with the lab rats on
campus or your instructor.

Best of luck to you.

Don't know if you ever figured this out, but uninstalling JRE7 and installing JRE6 should do the trick. Also, make sure you install the JRE that corresponds to your Eclipse version (with regards to x86 or x64).

Also, to Russell: these course materials are freely available on the web through SEE (Stanford Engineering Everywhere), so there is a good chance he is not taking it as coursework.

I know this an old thread, but thanks guys - it worked when I used JavaSE 1.6 (java-6-openjdk). (I had to change the build path for JavaSE 1.7 and install a new JRE path for Java6, using the existing Java7 paths as a guide.)

Im having the same problems. Im sure its because the JRE isnt matching. Every other part of Eclipse is working except when it comes to running a Keral simulation Sad

BLANK WINDOW SOLUTION:

Like those before me, I was pulling my hair out trying to fix the blank window problem. I tried PC (Windows 10), Mac (El Capitan) and nothing would work. As the problem was platform neutral, I suspected it was a Java problem, though I couldn't go back to 1.6 due OS compatibility issues. It turns out that adding a single line to the code fixes it: private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L; before the run method. It appears the serialVersionUID is a mandatory requirement in Java 1.8 that wasn't the case in 1.6. Good luck to you all; now I just have to wait for my hair to grow back, after pulling most of it out in frustration!

Hi Casey,

I had the similar problem as John, and did what you suggested but the blank window bug still occurs, with another error appearing (see the screenshot). Do you know anything about this?

Hi Ghali,

I'm afraid I can't say much more, only to note that I did notice the solution failed to work when I pasted that code in but did work when I typed it out. Something to do with the internal referencing system?

Ok guys, so I created an Eclipse account just to help on this situation I faced and spent a whole night to solve.

requirements are very simple, Java Version must match the Assignments required version.

I struggled going with many trials, ans with assignment version in CS106a page from late June, the java version needed is :

java version "1.8.0_181"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_181-b13)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.181-b13, mixed mode)

As long as this is the version set in your WINDOWS - PREFERENCES Menu, in the option JAVA - INSTALLED JRE's, you are ok to run your programs and the Karel emulator show up.

In case you need older or more recent versions installed, it does not hurt as long as the required version is established as default on the installed JRE preferences.

Glad to know it worked!

@sara rm

I am running Mac Version 10.14.6 and installed Eclipse Version 2018-09 (4.9.0). I installed jdk-11.0.1.jdk initially but encountered the same problem as everyone else: when I click run the window that pops up is blank. I switched to jdk1.8.0_251.jdk with Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM and now when I try to run the program I get the same error as Sara.

Please help if you get a chance. Thanks for any suggestions.

Still having this problem as well. Any updates? Using java 1.8 did not solve problem. Does eclipse version matter?

Are there instructions that everyone is following? It sounds like they're in dire need of updating.
