Hello guys,

I'm tring to export my eclipse dsl plugin as a jar to call it from command line.
It should be pretty straight forward, I followed these steps: http://thomas.trocha.com/pebble/xtext-export-dsl-as-runnable-jar

The problem is whenever I try to execute the program I get:
`
Error: unable to initialize main class ...generato.Main
Caused by: java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/eclipse/xtext/generator/IGeneratorContext
`

I've searched online but didn't found any solution.
Do any of you know how can I solve this problem?

are you sure the classpath is sufficient? is the class in the jar?
which option did you select in the dialog

(EDIT: I forgot to mention that the missing class should be taken from an external library)

No they are not.
The project has the external jar in the class path if checking in the project properties.
But If i try to export the project as runnable JAR the libraries are not added to the generated JAR

What should I do to add them?

if the project that has the main has a proper classpath then if you select that extract into
everything should be there.

thus i wonder on where you main is and how the classpath looks like

(1) create a new project using the wizard
(2) change the workflow to create a main
(3) run workflow
(4) run main once
(5) export
(6) run the jar

works (emf mimimis about The string resource '_UI_DiagnosticRoot_diagnostic' could not be located but thats no problem - https://stackoverflow.com/questions/38043360/error-when-validating-xtext-dsl-in-standalone-java-project)

I solved downloading all the org.eclipse.xtext jar dependecies from https://jar-download.com/artifacts/org.eclipse.xtext/org.eclipse.xtext.xtext.generator (it's one single zip) choosing the right version and then launched my jar with:

java -cp "<dowloadedlibfolders>/*:<Path to my jar>/myjar.jar" it.<packege to main>.Main <my args>
