NullPointerException thrown when using tracker jar with Xuggle on linux #41

Open achjaj opened 3 years ago

achjaj commented 3 years ago

I downloaded tracker-6.0.1.jar file from the tracker website and when I run it without the Xuggle libraries present, the application starts fine,. However, if I place the tracker jar next to an appropriate library I get the following exception:

Exception in thread "Thread-2" java.lang.NullPointerException

It looks like it tries to use some bundled jre, but it is just the tracker jar file, so there is no bundled jre. I think that in this case there should be some popup dialog where user can provide path to his system jre.
