   To locate local config issues do the following.
  
   Create a simple script, call it 'view_cpath.bat', to invoke your app
 and
   output the classpath before the line that calls your app.
  
   -- begin script (windows batch file example):
   echo classpath=%classpath%
   java my.org.myapp %*
   -  end script
  
   invoke your app with view_cpath.bat ... normal arg list ...
  
   With classpath in hand, check the following:
   1. is the cli jar file explicitly named in the classpath?  *.jar will
   not work.
   2. is the jar file actually in the place where the classpath says it
   should be?  Use dir or ls on classpath entries to be sure.
   3. check for misspellings of the jar file name in classpath.  The
   spelling is relative, obviously both classpath entry and actual jar
 file
   must be spelled the same.  Commons jar files have lots of '-' and
 '.',
   it is easy to get them wrong.  I've done it many, many times!
  
   This will find the problem is it is just local configuration.
  
   To make sure you are using the correct jar file do the following.
   use 'jar tvf  commons-cli-1.1.jar' (from the directory that contain
 the
   jar file) to view the contents of the jar file.  In the output you
   should see something like:
  
   423 Wed Jul 04 19:48:06 EDT 2007
   org/apache/commons/cli/CommandLineParser.class
  
   If you don't see this you have a bad/wrong jar file.  Try downloading
   again.
  
   Hope this helps,

   Initially, there was no CLASSPATH. I added the long name of the
   commons-cli-1.2.jar to the class path. The execution of the bat file
   displayed the expected class path. But this didn't solve the problem.
 I
   also introduced a JAVA_HOME environment variable that has the path to
 the
   jdk.
  


 If I put both jars in the same directory, extract everything out of the
  jars, and do a java {path to main class}, it works.

  IMHO, my ability to set the class path to a jar is broken. And my
 ability to
  set the class path to something besides the current directory is broken.
 
 The java command ignores the classpath if you use the -jar option.
 This is by design, and is documented:
 
 http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/tooldocs/windows/java.html#-jar
 
 See the last paragraph for the -jar option.
 
 The problems you are reporting don't seem to be specific to Commons CLI.

The problem is not specified to a particular jar.

If I want to execute a class file with dependencies, I can do it using class
directories or jar files that are not immediately in the current directory.
I just use the -commandpath option and include the current directory.
If I want to execute a Jar file with dependencies, I can't do it. I need to
learn more about how to get Eclipse to create a manifest containing the
right class pathes.

Using apache.commons.cli with Java 1.4.2

2009-06-10 Thread esharris

I'm having difficulty using apache.commons.cli with Java 1.4.2. I used
Eclipse to develop a simple program that uses apache.commons.cli. The
program works within the Eclipse IDE. However, when I export the program as
a Jar file and try to run the Jar from the command line (DOS or Unix). I get
a NoClassDefFoundErrorerror wrt the CommandLineParser. (In another program
that uses apache.commons.cli, running the jar file triggers  the
NoClassDefFoundErrorwrt HelpFormatter. So, I think java punts on the first
class it sees containing a problem.) 

I also extracted the apache.commons.cli source and built a Jar from it.
Strangely, I couldn't compile my program using my cli jar, instead on the
standard jar. When I extract classes from my cli jar, I noticed some of the
classes in apache.commons.cli are absent. I don't see anything peculiar in
the source.
