Each person works on small portions of a project, and anyone is welcome to contribute. Too bad, I really hope this gets updated one day.Open source products comprise the work of many collaborators - sometimes thousands of them, and often separated by oceans. I assume RSSOwl has good reasons to require the 32-bit JRE on Windows, such as native dependencies? If not it would be great if the distribution could be made bitness-agnostic so that it runs with the 64-bit JRE.Įdit: This reply, a few threads down, names the component that requires the 32-bit JRE. I recommend that people only use the 64-bit JRE if possible: On top of that, it only includes the old obsolete Client VM although that's not likely to be an issue for an RSS reader.

In case anyone wonders: this is a problem because Oracle's 32-bit Windows JRE comes loaded with crapware and installs a browser plugin that's a malware magnet. Once I had grudgingly installed the 32-bit JRE, everything worked fine. I usually have only the 64-bit JRE installed, too, and RSSOwl likewise refused to start, even when I copied the JRE into the RSSOwl directory. You have (quite sensibly!) the 64-bit version installed, that's why it's in "Program Files" rather than "Program Files (x86)" like RSSOwl itself. Keith, from what I can tell RSSOwl absolutely, positively requires the 32-bit version of Oracle's Java Runtime Environment. RSSOwl can't detect Java, no matter what I do.
