Processing to Arduino "IllegalAccessError" - arduino

Question

I hope this exact issue was not addressed already. I did search for a while.
So I'm using the Arduino library for Processing, testing it by simply having it blink an LED that I have connected to my Arduino UNO. I'm following this tutorial, but am having a problem a little different than the ones covered on that tutorial page. Here's my Processing code:
import processing.serial.*;
import cc.arduino.*;
Arduino arduino;
int ledPin = 13;
void setup()
{
//println(Arduino.list());
arduino = new Arduino(this, Arduino.list()[0], 57600); //error here
arduino.pinMode(ledPin, Arduino.OUTPUT);
}
void draw()
{
arduino.digitalWrite(ledPin, Arduino.HIGH);
delay(1000);
arduino.digitalWrite(ledPin, Arduino.LOW);
delay(1000);
}
Here's my error:
IllegalAccessError: tried to access class processing.core.PApplet$RegisteredMethods from class cc.arduino.Arduino$SerialProxy

Since my error apparently has to do with access permissions, I tried doing what it says at the tutorial page I was following by going to /var/lock folder, but the /lock folder doesn't exist! I'm using a Mac 10.8.2. I searched around and found this thread (arduino dot cc/forum/index.php?topic=135164.0) and decided to try "sudo mkdir -p /var/lock" and "sudo chmod 777 /var/lock" in terminal, but it didn't change the error I have in Processing, even after restarting it. I also tried opening the Arduino app and uploading the StandardFirmata sketch as mentioned at the ProcessngxArduino library download page (playground.arduino dot cc/interfacing/processing) while trying to run the processing sketch, but same error. The fact that I'm using the Arduino UNO instead of the Duemilanove shouldn't be the issue as the UNO is apparently just an updated version of it. Any ideas what I could try to do next?
UPDATE: Okay so the highlighted error in my code is what opens the serial port I'm using at whatever rate (57600 bits/sec in this case I think). So I think the problem lies in this particular step in the instructions at the adrunio x processing info page mentioned earlier(playground dot arduino dot cc/interfacing/processing), step 3: "Configure Processing for serial: processing dot org/reference/libraries/serial/"... the link goes to processing's 'serial' reference page. I'm confused about what is meant by "configure"? How exactly do I figure out my "correct serial port"? I went through the rest of the instructions and the examples on the serial reference page, and still have no idea what I'm looking for.
UPDATE #2: My serial port for the arduino is "/dev/tty.usbmodem1411". I am still confused about how to plug this in to my code in Processing though. The things I just learned in these last 2 updates might be irrelevant to my error, I'm still unsure.

Answer 1

The problem was that I was using the beta version of Processing (2.0). Use the latest stable version (1.5.1) and it should work.
