Hi,

Solution 1

Downgrade java, preferably using adoptopenjdk8.

If you use brew:

brew tap AdoptOpenJDK/homebrew-openjdk

brew cask install adoptopenjdk8

If not, try installing a java version older than 8, which can be downloaded from the official java repository.

Solution 2 (a bit unstable)

Download the latest version of Ptolemy II. Then, in BCVTB, replace the library BCVTB/lib/ptII/ with a symlink to the brand new Ptolemy. Trouble is that some of the dependencies are compiled with different versions of c, fortran, etc. and so the program may stop at any time.

In both cases, the systemVariables-mac.properties file is only adapted to match the EPlus version. (So, no change here).

Hope this works.


PS. I know it's bad practice to install software recommended in the web, but these are the solutions that have worked for me so far. My apologies for this.
