Steps to solve
In most cases, errors are not a bug, but can be easily solved.
Here are the points you should check:
1. Talend Version: Make sure you are using Talend Open Studio version 8:
2. Java Version: You may have multiple versions of Java installed on your computer.
For Talend, you should use Java 11. You can download Java 11 from azul.com/downloads.
Just unpack the archive. Then you can specify the path to this Java version.
On Windows, for example, you use this executable file: TOS_BD-win-x86_64.exe
There is an ini file with the same name: TOS_BD-win-x86_64.ini
Open the ini file in a text editor, such as Notepad.
Insert these two lines at the beginning:
-vm C:\zulu11.74.15-ca-jdk11.0.24-win_x64\bin
Make sure you specify your individual path to Java 11.
These two lines must be at the beginning of the file exactly as they are.
Leave the rest of the file unchanged!
3. Import option: You can use File – Import in Talend Open Studio, but it won’t work!
Make sure you use Import an existing project:
You get there by selecting the menu File – Switch project or workspace in the Studio:
4. Import format: When importing TalendBasicsProjectExport.zip you must use Select archive file.
The option Select root directory is wrong!
