Java Exception JSONObject not found, when starting gui

[maehem]

I'm doing this on Mac OS 12.6.7, OpenJDK 19.0.1 at the command line. I followed the instructions up to the "Usage" section.
https://www.jdeploy.com/docs/manual/#_getting_started

NPM installed using 'brew install npm'

I decided to use the "Locally" option.

% cd <my project folder>
% npm install jdeploy

Install went fine. I can see that it created a 'node_modules' folder with stuff in there.

Below I can't get GUI to start.

% npx jdeploy

No GUI ever comes up but I see the running icon in the toolbar.

Launching jdeploy gui.  Use jdeploy help for help

You probably don't want to do a local install using npm install jdeploy because that will add jdeploy as a dependency of your project, which will make it larger (it will actually include jdeploy as part of your app bundle, which you probably don't want).

If your project didn't already contain a package.json or node_modules, I would revert what was done by deleting package.json, package-lock.json, and node_modules.

If you don't want to do a global install, you should be able to just do

% cd <my project folder>
% npx jdeploy

[maehem]

Did as you suggested. In project dir:

% npm remove jdeploy
% rm -rf node_modules
% rm package-lock.json package.json
% npx jdeploy
Need to install the following packages:
  jdeploy@4.0.25
Ok to proceed? (y) 
Launching jdeploy gui.  Use jdeploy help for help

GUI Came right up!
Thank you for the clarification.
