[SOLVED] NoClassDefFoundError with ResourceLocator

Troubleshooting General Help
1

Hi folks

Searching for NoClassDefFoundError shows me that quite a few people had similar problems. I haven't found a solution for mine however…

I copied all the jars to a subfolder [My Project]/dist/lib and launched with

$ java -Djava.library.path=./lib -cp .:lib -jar MyJar.jar


Copying the dist folder around different computers with and without Netbeans, this works with a playground project i use to try out stuff using SimplePhysicsTest.
This time, however, I started a StandardGame project and I get this Exception:


Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: com/jme/util/resource/ResourceLocator
Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: com.jme.util.resource.ResourceLocator

The ResourceLocator is one of the first thing i do in the main() method.
I unpacked the jme.jar (which is from cvs) to see if it's there... and it is... what am I doing wrong?
Thanxx in advance

java for dummies…

The command line I mentioned above always worked and never seemed to be a problem, although I have to admit I only wrote small helpers so far (some of them also using external libs)…



I now added every single jar in ./lib to the classpath, it works now with one exception:

When using my jar file it doesn't, still the same. But when I call the main class directly, like path.to.my.Main, all is fine.

In order for your application to be able to run for the jar file (using the -jar option of the java command), you need to add a MANIFEST file that specifies what is the main class.
