[Resolved] Import (menu or wizard) CSV, Excel and XML doesn't work
Resolved - Rapidminer uses JRE 7, was using JRE 6. Confirmed: Using JRE 7 fixes the problem
I'm currently using the zip-unpacked Java version of RapidMiner to analyse SurveyMonkey responses to open-ended questions, stored as spreadsheets.
I note that attempting to use the import Wizard doesn't work for CSV, Excel or XML. Clicking the menu or button does absolutely nothing - nothing in the log either.
I can import the files manually using the Read Excel or CSV nodes, but as I'm new to the application, would like the assistance of the wizard.
I've investigated the INSTALL.txt file and could find no trace of these configuration files:
[tt] RAPID_MINER_HOME/rapidminerrc
RAPID_MINER_HOME/rapidminerrc.OSNAME
~/.RapidMiner5/<VERSION>rapidminerrc
~/.RapidMiner5/<VERSION>rapidminerrc.<OSNAME>
rapidminerrc
rapidminerrc.<OSNAME>[/tt]
I'm uncertain if this has anything to do with the problem?

are you using MacOS? Which version of RapidMiner are you using?

can you please post the contents of the rm.log file (user/.RapidMiner5/rm.log) after you restarted RapidMiner and tried to open an Import wizard via "File" -> "Import Data" -> "Import Excel Sheet..."?

The following represents me launching RM, starting a New Process, clicking each of the three options in turn, then shutting down. Must of the content appears to be generated by the inability to contact the update server, it being blocked by the firewall:
I don't see anything in your log which would indicate a problem which might cause this issue, which is rather strange. I also could not reproduce the issue on any test machine here, everything works fine, so this might be a little bit tricky to figure out. Can you please start the RapidMinerGUI.bat script from the command line (found inside the RapidMiner5/scripts folder), and paste the whole output here? You can copy & paste from the windows command line via rightclick -> select all and then leftclick in the upper left corner on the icon, go to Edit and then select copy.

I checked my Java version: Argh! http://rapid-i.com/content/view/17/40/lang,en/#installation:step1
I have encountered the same problem as colmoni, but the difference is that I'm running Mac OSX. When starting the Java 7 download I get the following message: Is there a workaround for Mac users?
My current Java version is: Thanks in advance.
You can have several versions of JDK installed on your Mac.
Open http://www.java.com/en/download/installed.jsp?detect=jre&;try=1 in your Safari browser (not Chrome)
It will tell you if you have java 1.7. If you do you should see Java in your System Preferences.
Click on Java tab and "View..."
Under Path you'll see where Java 7 is installed.
Edit scripts/RapidMinerGUI script to hardcode JAVA_HOME to point to the location of Java 1.7
It should resolve your issue with RapidMiner and will not affect anything else.
