Ever since the previous Java update for the mac, my Gephi installation was not happy. I resorted to uninstalling version 0.8.2-beta and going back to 0.8.1. Not a bad version, but definitely not one with the latest updates.
Running Gephi 0.9 (0.9-20128-388 to be exact) using Java 1.8. (Also happens using Java 1.7) The Data Laboratory window does not show up: no columns, no data, nothing. This happens on Les Miserables and on my own datasets. This does not happen using 0.8.2. Not sure if this is a known bug or some specific configuration / compatibility issue.
About Gephi 0.8.2 For Mac
I have reproduced the problem on multiple (Windows) machines. I would happily keep using 0.8.2 but my school is migrating to Java 8 for our labs so I do not have any choice. I am using Gephi for a course in the Fall so this is making me very nervous. Any idea when a stable Java 8 compatible version will be released?
