Cannot access Graphics - bad class file

Hey.
When I try to compile my source I get an error saying...
.\Man.java:146: cannot access Graphics
bad class file: .\Graphics.java
file does not contain class Graphics
Please remove the files or make sure it appears in the correct subdirectory.
It's on a different computer so that's not exactly it, but it's close enough. Compiler was working fine until the other day when i found out that all the source files were zipped up in src.zip, I had to extract Graphics.java so I could open it in emacs, and after I did that it started giving me that error message. There's nothhing wrong with my source, and I didn't move Graphics, it's still in the correct place exactly as it was, and i looked at it, all the right stuff is still inside. I'm quite confused.
So do I have to reinstall? That would mean a massive download on my 56k and I kinda wanna carry on with my work.

You should not need to unzip src.zip to use the Graphics class or any class that comes with j2sdk. The compiled classes are in jar files that are installed in certain directories when you install the j2sdk.
You should only need to have a line "import java.awt.Graphics;" near the start of your source code.
The error most likely occurred when the compiler found a Graphics.class file but inside the file is java.awt.Graphics class, not a plain Graphics class.

I tried to uninstall and reinstall SDK och Textpad, but it didn't work. I even installed them on another computer, but it was the same problem. I do not know what has happened. I have tried j2SDK 1_3_1_15 and j2sdk 1_4_0_01. No use. I could compile the same files some hours ago, but now the Textpad says NO, NO, NO!!! and generates the above error.

Your post compiles for me, no errors.
As a guess. you have a problem classpath or mislocated or duplicate files.
This line is especially suspect: bad class file: .\JScrollPane.class
What is that leading period? Do you have a file named ScrollPane?
Something else in the computer is bad, not the program.
Try compiling from the commandline.

Bad Class File error - Win2k & J2SDK1.4.0_01

I've tried a billion things, including moving around the .class files [which, by the way, i extracted myself from the .jar files which came with the FreeTTS package - is that what i'm doing wrong? if so, please tell me - ] and still nothing happens - the same error results.
I've tried reading other cases similar to mine in the forums, but most of the things i read didn't apply to my (quite simple) situation, such as the 'package' line needing to be removed or anything like that..
I run Win2k and have j2sdk1.4.0_01 installed on my machine
I beg for anyone's help. Thanks in advance

Aha!
Extracting from the jar file might be ok, as long as the directory it's extracted into reflects the class's package name. Open the jar file using WinZip and you'll see that the files it contains are in directories that exactly mirror (including case) the package names.
The error you're getting tells you that java is looking in .\cl\com\sun\speech\freetts\audio\Voice.class (the '.\' means relative to your current working directory) and my bet would be that the file is not there!
You shouldn't need to extract these files at all, actually: Try deleting the files you extracted from the jar then try running your program again.
I hope this is helpful...

Bad class file: WSRP_v2_Registration_PortType ...

I've been trying to deploy a portlet to a 10.1.3.2 Portlet Container on OAS 10g without much luck. The portlet deploys correctly to the standalone OC4J within JDeveloper. Here is the error:

The class it is complaining about is in wsrp-stubs.jar. I've included the jar in my deployment from JDeveloper and placed it in OAS as a shared lib and import it into the classpath at deployment time. The sample portlets distributed with the portlet container deploy without issue. I'm out of ideas. Any thoughts you have would be appreciated. Thanks!

THE FUNNY THING ABOUT COMPILIING THIS JAVA CLASS WAS - I HAD TO A jar xvf OF activation.jar and mail.jar IN THE XYZ DIRECTORY BEFORE SUCCESSFULLY COMPILING SMUA.
THE CALL BEING MADE FROM THE JSP SCRIPT IS AS FOLLOWS:
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">

Dude. Please don't shout. If your keyboard is like mine, it can produce both upper and lower case letters. Please use them appropriately.
Do you have the activation.jar/mail.jar available in the WEB-INF/lib directory for this application?

Cannot access remote FoxPro dbf file using jdbc-odbc and system DSN

Hi all,
I have a foxpro database sitting on remote server (netware server). the dbf folder is shared and I can access it using windows explore on my weblogic server (windows 2003). I created a system dsn for that. I can access the database from the a stand alone java program using
Class.forName("sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver");
Connection surgConn = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:odbc:FoxDB", " ", " ");
But when I use the same thing in my weblogic 8.1 application, I cannot access the database. I didn't config any data source in weblogic 8.1
Why?
When I try this on my own computer - windows 2000, weblogic 8.1 workshop. remote foxpro database dbf folder. it works.
Any idea?
Thanks very much

Bad class file

This is probably a very basic issue but here it goes: I've been developing a web application in tomcat. Originally we were using the JWSDP 1.3 bundle. I decided to download tomcat 4.1.3 and tried to run the application. I keep getting "bad class errors" and something about tag pool 13 of 10. Any clue as to what is causing the problem? I think it has something to do with the classpath environment variable in windows XP, unfortunately the IT people must have changed my user rights b/c I can no longer edit/change the System variables., I've tried adding a user variable CLASSPATH with the new path to the application, but it still doesnt seem to work.
Thanks for any help

Because this is the only post Google returns for "netbeans bad constant pool tag", I'd like to add this (even though the post is many years old):
The original post mentions Windows XP and CVS - so my recent experience may be relevant.
I moved a bunch of Netbeans projects via Windows onto a Linux server to add them to a CVS repository.
When I reentered the Projects into Netbeans all hell broke loose : for example: projects compiled clean but the IDE red-flagged them; libraries showed up on the Project Property sheets but were absent in the Libraries tab under the Project in the Projects tree. Netbeans itself appeared to be "in distress".
I had noticed that many java sources were now double-spaced (a blank line inserted after each original line). I suspected somewhere during the journey from Windows to Linux the old carriage-return + line-feed glitch had happened. But, hey-ho, this doesn't effect the java and could be filtered out later.
Then the moment of revelation: most of the XML and .properties files had also been double-spaced.
So code that originally read (for example):
javac.classpath=\
foo:\
bar
now read:
javac.classpath=\
foo:\
bar
This (subtle) introduction of the extra lines ruins everything ... but once you realise what's happened, it is easily fixed !

Flash Vars is not working when we accessing from other class files

Hi all, I'm currently developing a flex application where i
need to pass the data from the flash vars to the other class files
instead of the main actionscript class file.
Does any body know how i should go about doing that?? you can
see this below code : please help me out if u know how to solve
testnew2.as file
package {
import flash.display.Sprite;
import flash.display.LoaderInfo;
public dynamic class testnew2 extends Sprite {
public var
xmlfile:String=String(root.loaderInfo.parameters.lists);
public function testnew ():void{
package {
import flash.text.TextField;
import flash.display.Sprite;
import flash.display.LoaderInfo;
public dynamic class testnew extends testnew2 {
public function testnew () {
var myText:TextField = new TextField();
// this assumes that you are going to pass in an id variable
// on the end of the myFile.swf?id=12345 or
// use FlashVars in the HTML parameter list for instance
// 'FlashVars', 'id=123456', 'width', '1024',
myText.text = new testnew2().xmlfile;
addChild(myText);
but if we access in same file it is working fine:
package {
import flash.text.TextField;
import flash.display.Sprite;
import flash.display.LoaderInfo;
public dynamic class testnew extends Sprite {
public function testnew () {
var myText:TextField = new TextField();
myText.text = String(root.loaderInfo.parameters.lists);
addChild(myText);

Pass the data into the main app, then from there either pass
it into the sub-components or use
Application.application.parameters, or bind to the values.

Cannot access desktop

Back up all data before proceeding.
This procedure will unlock all your user files (not system files) and reset their ownership, permissions, and access controls to the default. If you've intentionally set special values for those attributes on any of your files, they will be reverted. In that case, either stop here, or be prepared to recreate the settings if necessary. Do so only after verifying that those settings didn't cause the problem. If none of this is meaningful to you, you don't need to worry about it, but you do need to follow the instructions below.
Step 1
If you have more than one user, and the one in question is not an administrator, then go to Step 2.
Triple-click anywhere in the following line on this page to select it:
sudo find ~ $TMPDIR.. -exec chflags -h nouchg,nouappnd,noschg,nosappnd {} + -exec chown -h $UID {} + -exec chmod +rw {} + -exec chmod -h -N {} + -type d -exec chmod -h +x {} + 2>&-
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Paste into the Terminal window by pressing command-V. I've tested these instructions only with the Safari web browser. If you use another browser, you may have to press the return key after pasting.
You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
The command may take several minutes to run, depending on how many files you have. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign ($) to appear, then quit Terminal.
Step 2 (optional)
Take this step only if you have trouble with Step 1, if you prefer not to take it, or if it doesn't solve the problem.
Start up in Recovery mode. When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select
Utilities ▹ Terminal
from the menu bar. A Terminal window will open. In that window, type this:
res
Press the tab key. The partial command you typed will automatically be completed to this:
resetpassword
Press return. A Reset Password window will open. You’re not going to reset a password.
Select your startup volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name) if not already selected.
Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
Under Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs, click the Reset button.
Select
 ▹ Restart
from the menu bar.

Locked out with file vault. Did fix by setting up new user account but cannot access old account with files but I can't get back into my old account with all my doc's and pics

I was locked out by File Vault. I set up a new account by fooling the notebook it was a new start up. Now I cannot access my old account with all of my files. I can see it in Accounts but it will not let me access. Help

I managed to get a few Time Machine Back Ups before I passed away
I'm not sure whether a ghost can do this, but if you were still alive, you could do as follows.
First make sure you have read & write access to the folder you're trying to restore to. You should be able to see its contents in the Finder, and to move files in and out of it.
This is an exception to the rule that you should never make any changes to backup data. I've tested this procedure in OS X 10.8 only. It should work with later versions, but I don't know whether it works in earlier versions. Use it only for files that were backed up from your home folder, or a folder on another volume created by you, and would normally be writable by you. Do not touch backups of system or application files.
In the Finder (not in the time-travel view), navigate to the backup volume, then to the folder named "Backups.backupdb", and then to the snapshot you want to restore from. The snapshots are folders labeled with the date when they were created. Inside each of those folders is a file hierarchy like the one on the volume that was backed up. Descend through the hierarchy until you come to a folder named "Users," and inside that, a folder with your user name. The procedure will be different if you're trying to restore files on another volume.
Select the folder and open the Info dialog (command-I). Click the padlock icon in the lower right corner of the window and authenticate. In the Sharing & Permissions section, give your account Read & Write access. You may have to close the dialog and repeat this step in order for the change to show up. Then click the gear icon and select
Apply to Enclosed Items
from the popup menu.
Try the restore operation again, in the time-travel interface.
