IO Exception in swing client

In Swing application, I have to click a menuitem which invokes Telnet window to our device.

It used to work earlier, but it throws some exception, see attachment, in application and telnet console does not open now.

Any comments?

Thanks.

The IO exception is being thrown by your application because it is trying to launch "xterm" application by using Java Process APIs. Most likely, it is not finding "xterm" in PATH. If it works from your application without iTest (if your application is being launched from the same shell as iTest), then somehow the PATH is changing when it is being launched using iTest. I would first make sure that PATH in the shell from which iTest is being launched contains xterm. You can confirm this using "which xterm" command.

Did you launch iTest from a shell which where xterm is in the PATH?

Setting xterm in PATH variable fixed the issue.

Thanks Kumar!
