Something is wrong with the ProM.exe that starts the 5.2 maintenance release. The solution is to start the release from a ProM.bat file like follows (change the Java path if necessary):
@echo off set CLASSPATH_OLD=%CLASSPATH% set CLASSPATH=%CLASSPATH%;.\lib\framework\ProM.jar set CLASSPATH=%CLASSPATH%;.\lib\framework\att.jar set CLASSPATH=%CLASSPATH%;.\lib\framework\MXMLib.jar set CLASSPATH=%CLASSPATH%;.\lib\framework\java_cup.jar set CLASSPATH=%CLASSPATH%;.\lib\framework\slickerbox0.5.jar set CLASSPATH=%CLASSPATH%;.\lib\framework\GantzGraf-0.9.jar set CLASSPATH=%CLASSPATH%;. "C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_07\bin\java" -classpath "%CLASSPATH%" -Djava.library.path=.//lib//external -Xmx1000M -Dsun.java2d.noddraw=true org.processmining.ProM %1 %2 %3 %4 %5 set CLASSPATH=%CLASSPATH_OLD% set CLASSPATH_OLD=
Most likely, this is due to a memory problem (the Java VM fails to allocate the amount of memory it is told to allocate). ANother possibility is that the system cannot find the proper Java VM.
Please try to start the .bat file from a command line, and check the output. If the memory is the problem, change the -Xmx option in the .bat file. If the system cannot find the Java VM, change your system path (or add the explicit path to the .bat file).
Yes! Have a look at our Tutorials page, where you can find links to a tutorial including the files to follow it, and our video tutorials. Also have a look at the online documentation.
You you can subsribe to our mailing list, where we announce news around the ProM framework.
You need to install the Graphviz package as we use DOT to automatically layout our graphs in ProM (this way, we can concentrate on the analysis capabilities of ProM). This can be easily done - see here the installation description for Mac OS X, which is also contained in the subfolder documentation of the downloaded disk image.
