Can't compile

[trath]

I am trying to compile a Java project, I am new to Java but I have a basic/good programming logic. (did some AS3, PHP+MySQL here and there).
I basically made some changes to .java files, then compiled to .jar. (did this in "eclipse-java-europa-winter-win32") When I run the .jar I get an error:
"Exception in thread 'main' java.lang.noclassdeffounderror: ch/ubique/inieditor/IniEditor"

When I compile the Default files without making any changes, I get the same error. - that's why I think its a compiling problem / me not knowing Java

The files / project are right here:
gatherbot_rlease.zip - tf2gatherbot - Gather Bot stable rlease - Team Fortress 2 IRC Gather Bot - Google Project Hosting


If someone could please point out what the problem is / what Newbie mistake I am making

Thanks in advance,
Trath

Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: ch.ubique.inieditor.IniEditor

That's a runtime error, not a compiler error.

Where is the class mentioned in the error message? The java program can not find it.

[Tolls]

Yep.
Is that class in the jar file?
Looks like it isn't.

[trath]

Yes, I have inieditor.jar in the .classpath just as some other classes are used.

[Tolls]

No.
Is that class in the d.jar file you seem to be trying to run?
Is it in the ch/ubique/inieditor "folder" in the jar?

[trath]

The class is in iniedtior.jar which is in the "libs" folder. The .classpath references to that jar file.

Just like the sqlite class is in "sqlitejdbc-v056.jar" which is refrenced in the .classpath .

[Norm]

Can you open a command prompt window and enter: SET
which will print out the values of all the environment variables. Copy the value for CLASSPATH here.

btw:
When I choose the "run" option and then "Java Application" and choose "Main", it seems to be working in the console.
Yet still when compiled, same error.

[Norm]

Here is the CLASSPATH from your PC

CLASSPATH=.;C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre6\lib\ext\QTJava.zip

Where are the jar files with the missing classes?
What did you mean when you said:

The .classpath references to that jar file.

[trath]

I mean theres a file called ".classpath" that says this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<classpath>
	<classpathentry kind="src" path="src"/>
	<classpathentry kind="lib" path="libs/gameserver-2010-03-17.jar"/>
	<classpathentry exported="true" kind="lib" path="libs/inieditor.jar"/>
	<classpathentry kind="lib" path="libs/jdom.jar"/>
	<classpathentry kind="lib" path="libs/mysql-connector-java-5.1.12-bin.jar"/>
	<classpathentry kind="lib" path="libs/pircbot.jar"/>
	<classpathentry kind="lib" path="libs/QueriEd.jar"/>
	<classpathentry kind="lib" path="libs/RconEd.jar"/>
	<classpathentry kind="lib" path="libs/sqlitejdbc-v056.jar"/>
	<classpathentry kind="con" path="org.eclipse.jdt.launching.JRE_CONTAINER"/>
	<classpathentry kind="lib" path="/DefaultBot/libs/inieditor-r2.jar"/>
	<classpathentry kind="output" path="bin"/>
</classpath>

Maybe its just for eclipse? anyway, it refrences all the .jar librarys to be used.

[Norm]

its just for eclipse, the java command does not use it.

[Tolls]

Not only that the CLASSPATH environment variable (apart from being a bad thing to use for your classpath) is not used when executing jar files with the -jar switch.
The classpath used for that is held in the MANIFEST.

So, does the manifest in the jar file list those jars?
I'm guessing not.

[trath]

Then how do I fix the problem?

I don't care what I compile with, as long as it works.

I chose the "save manifest to file" in eclipse, it says this when opened with notepad:

Manifest-Version: 1.0
Sealed: true
Main-Class: Main

[Norm]

Take a look at this: Working with Manifest Files: The Basics (The Java™ Tutorials > Deployment > Packaging Programs in JAR Files)

[Tolls]

If you want to generate an executable jar, along with its dependencies, in Eclipse then this is an Eclipse question and should be moved to that forum.
If you want to try this by hand (using the link Norm provides) then it can remain here.
