Strange reference to UCharacter in RunnableQVTParser [message #910817]

Mon, 10 September 2012 12:40

Eclipse User

Hello,

I'm somewhat confused by the following method:

org.eclipse.m2m.internal.qvt.oml.ast.parser.QvtOperationalParser.RunnableQVTParser.computeInputString(int,
int)

I accidentally reached this method due to a stupid syntax error and when
the line

if (!UCharacter.isWhitespace(chars[i-1])) {

was to be executed, "UCharacter" could not be found and I received a
NoClassDefFoundError exception. I don't know this class and I'm already
pretty confused by the fact that within this calling module it is
imported as "com.ibm.icu.lang.UCharacter", but when I select "Open
Declaration" I'm shown "sun.text.normalizer.UCharacter". So I suspect
some classpath trickery here. What do I need to do/declare to have this
properly working?

TIA
Marius

I think I found it. The method in question depends on
com.ibm.icu_XXX.jar. My classpath didn't include this jar, so eclipse
apparently tried to resolve on its own as best as possible and used the
version in rt.jar. When actually executing the code, the class loaded
just could not find UCharacter.

Hi

My workspace shows just com.ibm.icu.lang.UCharacter which is just one of
a number of standard classes extended by IBM.

Hopefully these enhancements will merge now that java is moving again.

I presume from your comments that your problem is fixed.
