What is Eclipse doing right (that my system isnt)? [message #257696] Thu, 05 June 2008 10:29 Go to next message

I inherited from another developer a package of classes that run queries
against an eXist database. I first worked on the code in Eclipse, and as
"Referenced Libraries" I linked to four Jar files that came with eXist,
including the xmldb.jar. The code compiled and ran with no problems.

Later I made a Jar file from my classes. I set the system classpath to
include the same four Jar files that were in the Eclipse build path. When
I tried to run the code from the command line, I got a
java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError referring to
org/xmldb/api/base/XMLDBException.

So then I tried running the code with the -classpath option and the full
classpath specified. Still the same error.

This is on a MacBook Pro, Mac OS 10.4, Java 1.5.0_13. Eclipse says it is
using JVM 1.5.0 (MacOS X Default) as its system library.

How is Eclipse able to run this code and the command line isn't, even
though they are supposedly both using the same classpath and same JVM?

Puzzled and hoping an Eclipse maven can shed some light on this,

Moominpapa.

You can see the command line that Eclipse uses to run your application by
opening up the Debug perspective. Once it is open, run your application.
This should create an entry in the Debug view. Right click on this entry
and select Properties. The Properties dialog will give the command line
used to run the application. Hopefully, this can help give you some clues
as to what is wrong.

Thanks Dave, that did help narrow down the problem area. I find that I can
run the program as classes from either inside Eclipse or from the command
line. I have also found that whether I create a Jar file using the Eclipse
wizard or via the command line I cannot run the Jar version of the program
with getting the original class-not-found error that refers to one of the
external Jar files the program depends on. It definitely isn't a classpath
issue, or that Eclipse is using a different version of Java from the
system. Unfortunately I'm a relative newbie at Java, so I don't always
understand the implications of certain techniques, but I wonder if it is
any coincidence that this particular external Jar contains a class that is
loaded dynamically by one of the program classes. Eclipse shows a "Class
is a raw type" warning about it, but it clearly doesn't stop the program
running as a classes. Could it affect the Jar version, though?

Still bug hunting,

Moominpapa.

When you try to run the JARed version, what is the classpath set to?

If you mean that when you use "java -jar file.jar" on the command
line...

"When you use this option, the JAR file is the source of all user
classes, and other user class path settings are ignored."
