Package: libgetopt-java Version: 1.0.11-2 Severity: important I cannot get the Getopt class loaded if I execute a Java program which is inside a .jar file.
I suppose this problem is related with upstream code, and not with debian packaging. However I already asked the upstream author to found out more on this bug, or at least to tell me where I am wrong, and I got no answer. So I am reporting this bug to the Debian BTS, hoping you can help me (and other people having the same issue) to solve this problem. Problem description follows: The getopt library itself is working very well, but I have problems loading it when I launch my program with the java executable from the command line. If I launch the .class file of my program, I have to explicitly specify your .jar file in the classpath, or the gnu.getopt.Getopt class won't be loaded. Usually it is enough to specify only the directory containing the jars files, but not with getopt: this makes me suspicious about how getopt is packaged. The previous is only a minor issue. In fact if I launch the .jar version of my program, there's no way to get gnu.getopt.Getopt loaded, so my program actually can't start. Googling around I found only another one developer with my problem, you can take a look at http://www.fedoraforum.org/forum/archive/index.php/t-111429.html I'm using debian, sun-java 1.5; deploying the jar file with eclipse (so I suppose the autogenerated MANIFEST file for my program is correct). -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.17-2-k7 Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Versions of packages libgetopt-java depends on: ii sun-java5-jre [java2-runtime] 1.5.0-08-1 Sun Java(TM) Runtime Environment ( libgetopt-java recommends no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
