Sikuli is not able to recognise object --- Sikuli needs a JRE 6 (Java 7 not supported)

Known problem: Sikuli does not run with Java 7 !!!

You need a JRE 6.

Hi Thanks a lot for very quick response. If possible can you please provide an url from where I can download JRE 6 please. I really appreciate your help.

Thanks

Thank you... I did install JRE6, sorry it didnt really help. Still it doesnot recognise a object.

have a look at faq 1766

you sent me a private mail. This is an excerpt:

.....
File "C:\Saritha\WORKFOLDER\TalkTalk\IPTV\sw\Sikuli-r930-win32\Sikuli-r930-win32\Sikuli-IDE\sikuli-script.jar\Lib\sikuli\__init__.py",
.....
java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError:

This is a Sikuli installation problem. You are using the zipped version somewhere down in your folder structure.
If you do this, you have to set the required path and environment entries your self.
What is the reason for not using the installer?

If you wanted to use the latest version, then first install Sikuli with the installer from official download page and then act as mentioned in faq 1766 under **** first steps.

I too had similar issue even after installing JRE 6. I enabled Java Run Time Environment for both 1.6 and 1.7 verison in Java control panel(JAVA tab) available in control panel and it worked for me.

 1. You must use a 32bit JRE version (I use jre-7u4-windows-i586.exe)
 2. Download Sikuli IDE for Windows (I use "Sikuli X r930", portable version)
 3. Unpack it and copy files to your project folder (I renamed it to "sikuli-ide", check image http://i.stack.imgur.com/LSiQV.png)
 4. Add sikuli-script.jar to the Referenced Libraries (Project > Properties > Java Build Path > Libraries, check image http://i.stack.imgur.com/N2SJ8.png)
 5. Set PATH and SIKULI_HOME environment vars (Run > Run Configurations > Environment, check image http://i.stack.imgur.com/HboXk.png)
 6. You're ready to go ;)

@ Filipe
This seems to be a setup for running Java apps in Eclipse. That is not the question here.

These people simply want to run the Sikuli-IDE on Windows.
And this definitely crashes with Java 7 when using the capture feature.

@RaiMan
Indeed, I wanted to reply to other question page :/ my bad...

Eitherway it's strange because i can work it out with JRE 7 despite using it for Java App Development.

@ Filipe
... and the capture feature is working for you? (Screen.userCapture())

Hmmm... capture does, userCapture gets in loop and eventually throws:

Exception in thread "Thread-2" java.lang.StackOverflowError
 at org.sikuli.script.TransparentWindow.setOpacity(TransparentWindow.java:18)
 at java.awt.Window$1.setOpacity(Unknown Source)
 at com.sun.awt.AWTUtilities.setWindowOpacity(Unknown Source)
 at org.sikuli.script.Win32Util.setWindowOpacity(Win32Util.java:80)

I'll try to debug it!

@ Filipe

This is exactly what people observe when running the IDE with Java 7.

No need to debug that, it is a known problem: handling of transparent overlay frames has changed from JRE6 to JRE7 and Sikuli has to be adapted to this new situation (which is not the case currently).

But if you find the solution, it is very welcome ;-)
