Great, the documentation is not apparent about explicitly specifying *every* .JAR that's needed. Perhaps this is asking way too much, but why can't a directory(s) be specified which can then be parsed for the referenced .JARs ? Hasn't this been the case with the C/C++ compilers for specifying INCLUDES & LIBS ?? But I'm willing to learn, so I'll accept the answer and move on. All I want right now is to be productive with JAVA, and not get bogged down with details related to the tools. > > what the heck were using before kaffe? > I used Symantec Cafe over a year ago, but I would now like to focus on learning & deploying on Linux. Since I now have your attention, here are 2 more questions: Question 1 ---------- appletviewer ApptoAppl.html java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: javax/swing/JLabel at kaffe.applet.AppletViewer.main(AppletViewer.java:418) Do I need an explicit CODEBASE parameter in the HTML file that points to /usr/local/share/kaffe ? Question 2 ---------- javac -version -classpath .:/usr/local/share/kaffe/swingall.jar:/usr/local/share/kaffe/kjc.jar:/usr/local/share/kaffe/tools.jar:/usr/local/share/kaffe/Klasses.jar SwingUI.class KOPI Java Compiler Version: 1.3C javac -classpath .:/usr/local/share/kaffe/swingall.jar:/usr/local/share/kaffe/kjc.jar:/usr/local/share/kaffe/tools.jar:/usr/local/share/kaffe/Klasses.jar SwingUI.class java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: antlr/collections/AST at at.dms.kjc.Main.beautifyParseError(Main.java:692) at at.dms.kjc.Main.parseFile(Main.java:488) at at.dms.kjc.Main.run(Main.java:119) at at.dms.kjc.Main.compile(Main.java:449) at at.dms.kjc.Main.main(Main.java:432) What am I missing here ??
