I've deleted and re-installed several times, I updated my OS to Mavericks, I'm running the latest JAVA.

I click play and the little bar on the runs to the right and then nothing.

I'm using a 2013 27 inch iMac with version 10.9. 3.4 Intel core i7, 8gb 1600 ddr3 ram, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 680MX 2048 MB

Here are the notes from the development console.
