The processing-java tool used to work for me, but now it gives me this error:

```auto
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: 'void processing.app.Base.setCommandLine()'
	at processing.mode.java.Commander.main(Commander.java:411)

```

I tried uninstalling it and reinstalling it (via Tools \> Install “processing-java”) but it didn’t help.

This is using Processing 4.4.1 on MacOS 11.7.10. If anyone has any suggestion on what to do, I’d appreciate it. Thanks!

Hello @Philip_Sharman

There were issues with the CLI in 4.4.1 which have been fixed in 4.4.3. You can get 4.4.3 beta from the download page.

Let us know if this works for you!

I upgraded Processing to v4.4.4, and it works! Thanks.
