Should make a note that this DOES NOT WORK in Catalina, it spits out the exact same error as above.

Have you tested loading the jar from the command line?

$ pwd
/Applications/IPMIView.app
$ java -jar Resources/IPMIView/IPMIView20.jar

[windowshome]

Same result as when I'm double-clicking the application

Please pull down the latest commit. I added some fixes that relink to Mac's java and notes about how to deal with security and privacy system changes to run the console. Please let me know how it works out for you.

@TheCase Reporting back on the latest commits on the master branch. I'm encountering a problem where I am unable to add the java app to the Security & Privacy > Input Monitoring section. Here's a screenshot:

With reference to the screenshot, you would see that there is no +/- option as it would for the other sections where there is at least 1 other app listed.

Can't find much info online except this other occurrence on Apple Community. Did you encounter this issue as well?

[TheCase]

Have you tried running the console yet? Java actually showed up in that list on its own in several of my tests - I believe it adds itself when it is discovered that it needs permission to run properly.

I hope i understood what you meant when I ran the following commands:

cd ~/Applications/IPMIView.app/Resources/IPMIView/
java -jar IPMIView20.jar
java -jar iKVM.jar

Running iKVM.jar alone, after accepting all the security prompts, leads to this error message:

It still does not work though, i.e. the java app does not shop up on the Input Monitoring page. I've also tried restarting as well, but it doesn't show up.

I guess the alternative here would be for me to try download another app that does request for the same privacy permissions. I'll report back again when I manage to get pass this, thank you!

@loozhengyuan I opened a new issue for the Privacy problem you're having see #8

@TheCase Couldn't get it to run on my laptop, but happy to report that the newest changes works perfectly on a fresh Catalina instance.

@windowshome did you run the included shell script?

[deoxykev]

Hi all, I had this problem as well on Catalina. I solved it using:

cd </path/to/IPMIView_2.16.0_build.190815_bundleJRE_Linux_x64>
mkdir -p jre/Contents/Home/bin/
cd jre/Contents/Home/bin/
ln -s $(which java) java

This links the installed java binary to the file that IPMIView is looking for.

Thanks @TheCase for working on the instructions for this! Appreciate it.

shell script includes improvements - Closing.
