[SOLVED]Java error running a .jar file

Hi. I'm running Arch 64 and I keep getting this error when trying to run
java -jar TwinkEdit-0.6.9.jar (from twinkle.sourceforge.net -- a flashcard program for palm. This .jar is the desktop editor for the flashcards. It's worked before on Linux ... but that was almost 2 years ago.)

It happens in both 32 bit (arch32 chroot) and 64 bit jre's exactly the same.
java -version gives:
java version "1.6.0_07"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_07-b06)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 10.0-b23, mixed mode)
(It also doesn't work on Windows, either .... I think it must be a Java version compatibility problem ??)
Any ideas?
Thanks,

I gave it a try and got the same error. Then I started looking at the code:
When you create a new file, the program starts looking for a font which supports japanes (don't ask me why). If it doesn't find any it throws the error you posted above. I was able to create a new file after I installed ttf-bitstream-cyberbit from AUR (first font supporting japanese I could find).
You should contact the author and submit a bug report. Even if the program really needs japanese fonts, which I doubt, failing like this is just bad.

  • Running a jar file from java code

    Hi!
    Im trying to run a jar file from my code.
    I've tried Classloader, but that doesnt work because it doesnt find the images (also embedded in the 2nd jar file).
    WHat I would like to do is actually RUN the 2nd jar file from the first jar file. There must be a way to do this right?
    any ideas?

    ok, I found some wonderful code (see below) that will try to start the jar. But it doesn't. What it does is produce the following error when my application runs...
    So it's not finding the images in the jar file that I am trying to run? Strange. I checked the URL that sending, but it seems ok....
    I think I will check the url again to make sure......
    any ideas?

    }Now i create the jar file whose name is docbaseconnection.jar
    Now when i am running this jar file by using the following command then i am getting the following error..
    C:\JAR_FILES>java -jar docbaseconnection.jar
    Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: com/documentum/fc/client/DfQuery

    C:\Program Files\Documentum\dctm.jar;C:\Program Files\Documentum\Shared\dfc.jar;C:\Program Files\Documentum\Shared\log4j.jar
    I already add this jar files in the classpath of environment variables..Then also i am getting the same error..
    Kindly help me...........

    Well, let´s supose your manifest is defined as I did in my previous post. So, your directory base should be something like:
    C:\dir
    docbaseconnection.jar
    dctm.jar
    dfc.jar
    anotherlibraries.jar
    But, let´s supose you want something like
    C:\dir
    docbaseconnection.jar
    lib (folder, which contains dctm.jar, dfc.jar, etc)
    Then you should change the class-path of your manifest to
    Class-Path: ./lib/dctm.jar ./lib/dfc.jar
    That´s what I meant

  • Unable to Run a .jar file in pjava

    I have installed pjava (for StrongArm) on to my iPAQ Pocket PC H3660.
    Then I created a simple application using JBuilder and created a *.jar file of the classes. I have used the awt classes to build the interface. I am using JDK version 1.3.0.
    When I deploy it into my Pocket PC and run the jar file, the compiler loads up and I get the error message "Cannot find class : packagename.classname".
    I have checked the jar file contents in JBuilder and the class files are all in there.
    Could anyone help me on this? Thanks!

    If you are compiling with JDK1.3 (or any compiler > java 1.1.8), you have to use the parameter "-target 1.1" to make sure the class files will be loaded by a 1.1 JVM. Jeode doesn't seem to care about this setting, but when we switched to Creme the problem arose.

  • Run applications ( .jar files) by bash on linux

    On linux:
    I have a swing application and its jar file. I created an executable file using bash script to run the jar file
    #!/bin/bash
    java -jar myapp.jar
    this runs in console normally but when i clicked the executable file, the application runs too but immediately closes. I think the problem is that this can't recognize the swing-layout.jar (swing library) so that the swing components (JFrame,Jbutton) cannot be showed!
    There must be a way for the executable file to recognize the libraries (swing, layouts) for the application by using bash script ?

    There can be number of reasons for that. I suggest you following way:
    1. Modify your script in following way:
    #!/bin/bash
    java -jar myapp.jar 2>/tmp/log.err 1>/tmp/log.out
    After unsuccesful execution check content of /tmp/log.* files and see details of the error.
    Often such errors are caused by environment. May be you just don have java in your PATH .. May
    be DISPLAY is not set .. I don't know.
    To workaround env issue you need to dump environmentin from console:
    declare -x >env.sh
    After that include update your .sh script in following way and see the difference:
    #!/bin/bash
    . env.sh
    java -jar myapp.jar 2>/tmp/log.err 1>/tmp/log.out

    Should I create a folder name META-INF then inside this folder I should save manifest file with .mf extention as LP.mf ?????????????????????????????
    After this still I face that problem.
    Pl guide If you can.

    Each jar file needs to contain a manifest file describing which entries are

    Which shows me that the class is there. I suspected that it might have something to do with CLASSPATH at first because of the java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError, but now I am skeptical that that could be the problem. I even build a new jar file out of different classes to make sure my method was OK and that worked fine. Any ideas? Thanks for your help in advance.

    Here is my Manifest:
    Main-Class: pm.PMApp<carriage return>
    Class-Path: C:/j2sdkee1.3.1/lib/j2ee.jar<carriage return>
    I noticed that if I leave the Class-Path variable unset it has no problem finding the class pm/PMApp, but I then get a class loader error concerning J2EE stuff. Am I missing something in my Class-Path? I tried to even specify the jar file I'm running here, but that didn't work either? I have also tried '.' and './', space delimited in my Class-Path, like this:
    Class-Path: . ./ C:/j2sdkee1.3.1/lib/j2ee.jar<carriage return>
    Thanks for the replies, do you have any more suggestions?

    If it's the latter then you need to make the jar file including a manifest.
    The manifest can be just a txt file with its content to be something like this:
    Manifest-Version: 1.0
    Ant-Version: Apache Ant 1.7.1
    Created-By: Somebody
    Main-Class: NameOfTheMainClass
    Class-Path:
    X-COMMENT: Main-Class will be added automatically by buildTo make the jar file including the manifest, use something like this in your command prompt (of course you must have compiled your java file(s) first):
    jar cfm test.jar MANIFEST.txt NameOfTheMainClass.classAfter that you'd be able to run your application just by double clicking it.
    If you're a NetBeans user, you can build your standalone application by right-clicking your project and then going to properties => run => and choosing a Main class. After that right click on that project and "Clean and Build", locate the jar file in the "dist" folder and double click it =]
    Hope it helps,

  • How to run a jar file in a browswer?

    Hi, everyone:
    I got a problem here. I would like to run my jar file in a html-based brower, should I write another applet for my jar file? How can I do that? (I don't have applet in my jar file, but only JFrame) Is there any way I can put a runnable jar file into an applet and show on the brower? Could anyone show me how to write this code? Thank you very much!!
    -jxchou

    At first you need a java plug-in for your browser.
    Next you have to implement an applet in your jar-file.
    The tag in your html-document should look like:
    <applet code="Sample.class" archive="sample.jar" width="400" height="400"></applet>

  • How to run a JAR file in Unix system?

    hi there
    ca anyone tell me how to run a JAR file in unix system or X window, thank you

    You want to create an executable JAR file? You do it in the following way.
    Create a manifest file such as manif.txt and the contents should contain
    Main-Class: foo
    assuming foo is the name of your main class. Then create the jar as follows
    jar cvfm foo.jar manif.txt foo.class
    I hope that helps you!
    you can find more info here http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/jar/

  • How to bundle java help class into jar file ?

    Hi, all,
    I have some package in my project, with which I have a java help jar file as classpath, when I run my project, I need the jh.jar file in directory /jar/jh.jar.
    Now, I bundled all my class packages into a jar file, my.jar, together with the /jar directory. When i run my jar file with command:
    java -jar my.jar
    It tells me couldn't find javahelp class.
    What shall I do? How can I create my jar file with the jh.jar?
    Thanks in advance.

    I think you'd be better off just adding the jh.jar as
    a classpath argument and running it like that:
    java -classpath /myjavalibdir/jh.jar -jar myjar.jar
    ...otherwise you're stepping into redistribution of
    binary issues licensing-wise. That won't work either; when you run java with the -jar option, it ignores both the -classpath option and the CLASSPATH environment variable. However, it will see jh.jar automatically if you put it in the <path-to-java>/jre/lib/ext directory. But for distribution purposes, it might be simpler just to combime the contents of jh.jar into myjar.jar (if you use Ant, its <jar> task makes that very easy). Or, you can just run it this way:java -classpath myjar.jar;jar/jh.jar MyMainClassBTW, I don't think redistribution is a problem; otherwise how anyone even use JavaHelp?

  • OutOfMemory Exception while running a JAR file

    Hi,
    I am working with Java 1.5 and using Eclipse to build a GUI. My application has intensive image loading involved so I set -Xmx inside Eclipse when running the application in debug mode.
    However, once a JAR file is exported, I do not know how to specify the heap size required to run the program. Is there a way to ...
    1. embed the heap size info inside the JAR file?
    2. specify a heap size when running the JAR file?
    Thanks in advance.

    Heap size is specified by the -Xmx option on the java command. See the java command documentation.
