Upgrade from 4 to 5

Hi All,

At the moment I'm using ScriptMaster 4 for a while.
Was wondering if I can upgrade from 4 to 5 without any problems?
Or do I have to re-program my Filemaker file(s)?

Cheers

Koen

Hi KoenK,

Updating from ScriptMaster 4 to ScriptMaster 5 is major framework update. If you are using ScriptMaster in a Mac environment it will now use Java 9 exclusively. There were some deprecated classes between 8 and 9 so if you are using any of those classes in your modules then you will need to rework them so that they will compile. On Windows the plugin will use Java 8 so I don't suspect that there will be any issues with having to rework modules. If you are not generating plugins with ScriptMaster then I recommend downloading and installing it and seeing if any issues arise. If so, then revert back to 4 until those issues can be resolved.  If you run into anything, please send an email to [email protected]

Thanks a lot.

Have upgraded after checking, and all seems to work fine.
Mojave was not working well with Scriptmaster 4.

Cheers

Support for Java 9 finished in March 2018. Is it possible to use Java 11 with SM 5.1?

Best Regards,

Marek

Version 5.02 (5/11/2017)
* No longer requires Java installation

To my reading, java is not needed anymore, I guess.

No, not currently.

I can see that this could be confusing. For clarification, a Java Runtime Environment is still required to run our plugins because they are written in Java. Our latest framework no longer requires that you install Java on your system. Rather, the plugin will download a sandboxed JRE that will only run when the plugin is enabled and does not require you to install it. 

So what version of mysql-connector-java jar should work - and/or how to install it to work with SM 5.1?

Mac or Windoze???

I am currently using mysql-connector-java-8.0.13.jar on Mac with no problems...

Mac Mojave and Win10
