Trying To Run Infocenter Standalone [message #522790]

Hi,

I'm trying to run the infocenter in standalone mode of fedora. I followed the instructions:
Platform Plug-in Developer Guide > Programmer's Guide > User assistance support > Help > Configuration/setup

The launch command I'm running is:
java -classpath /home/ole/Documents/eclipse3/plugins/org.eclipse.help.base_3 .4.0.v20090526 org.eclipse.help.standalone.Help -command displayHelp

I exported the org.eclipse.help feature to the eclipse3 folder prior to running the above command.

When I run the command I get:
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/eclipse/help/standalone/Help
Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.eclipse.help.standalone.Help

Any ideas on how to trouble shoot this?

Thanks,
- Ole

Try adding -noexec to the launch command.

I've seen that error before, and I don't recall if I tracked down the
precise cause. I usually always use the -noexec param on my launch
command when I'm running the infocenter on non-Windows platforms. It
then by-passes the eclipse.exe executable to launch the Java class.

Hope that helps,
Lee Anne

Lee Anne,

Thanks - I gave it a shot - but still no love. I tried it like this:

java -classpath /home/ole/Documents/eclipse3/plugins/org.eclipse.help.base_3 .4.0.v20090526 org.eclipse.help.standalone.Help -command -noexec displayHelp

And like this:
java -classpath /home/ole/Documents/eclipse3/plugins/org.eclipse.help.base_3 .4.0.v20090526 org.eclipse.help.standalone.Help -command displayHelp -noexec

Ole

Ooops - OK - Just realized I was leaving off the .jar part of the classpath argument. It finds the class now.

Thanks,
