MacOS – LSOpenURLsWithRole() failed with error 10810 in iTerm2 running tmux on Yosemite

The LSOpenURLsWithRole is a function that is used to associate a file with a program. The file you're double clicking on is not actually an application, but a data file.

This is how, for example, when double-clicking a text document, the TextEdit program or another associated app is launched.

You need to associate it with the java runtime, assuming that you have it installed.

If you right-click on the file and select Get Info, the info pane has a section called "Open With:". That should be set to the java runtime.

The error occurs because JVM failed to launch - the Java application itself has been hardcoded to load libserver.dylib. This file exist for Java 1.6 and older, but not for Java 1.7 and above.

Workaround

Create the directory structure and symlink from libjvm.dylib to libserver.dylib

$ sudo mkdir -p /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.8.0_05.jdk/Contents/Home/bundle/Libraries/
$ sudo ln -s /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.8.0_05.jdk/Contents/Home/jre/lib/server/libjvm.dylib /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.8.0_05.jdk/Contents/Home/bundle/Libraries/libserver.dylib

Note that this is specific to JDK 1.8.0 update 5. The paths will need to be updated in three places for future versions.

Solution

Modify the Java application's code so that it will not look for libserver.dylib. You should really not hard-code the path to JVM. Instead, use /usr/libexec/java_home if you need the path of JVM in OSX.
