trouble with JRE 1.5 and running a .jar

toaster.waffle · 06-17-2005, 07:50 PM

hey. I downloaded the jre*.bin file and ran it. 'installed' it to /opt/jre1.5.0_02/

i'm able to run azureus... but i can't run Arachnophilia (http://www.arachnoid.com/arachnophilia/)

i get the error:

Code:

# java /opt/Arachnophilia.jar
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: /opt/Arachnophilia.jar
#

I think it is a problem with the jar. I've redownloaded it time after time, and it worked fine before i had to re-install slackware.

Any help is appreciated

Try making the jar executable first before running in

Code:

chmod +x Arachnophilia.jar

Then go to the same directory as the jar, and go

Code:

java -jar Arachnophilia.jar

If it tells you about /opt/something then your path may not be set properly. Doing the above got it running for me.

this just in... closed azureus, and re-started it.... got this:

Code:

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/gudy/azureus2/ui/swt/Main

this is not a .jar file i dont believe.

I have JDK 1.5 from Sun Microsystems. The Arachnophilia file is a jar file. You have to include -jar. I ran it just fine. You do not need to make it executable.

Azureus always starts for me. No, I do not have multiple Java versions. I just have the version I told you. However, you have to go into the Azureus directory to run it. You can add an alias line or write a script that goes to the Azureus directory and then back.

I did not know that Arachnophilia has switch to a universal programming langauge.

Oh, how I adore you, my friend. Executing from inside the azureus directory fixed the bugger. A million thanks.
