Usually, a NoClassDefFoundError will have a message, which specifies the missing class, before the stack trace like... Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: com/somepackage/SomeClass Without it, it's a lot harder to figure out what is missing. Does Jdev have a log file that you could look at to try to find out which class is missing? Otherwise, you can try a shotgun approach. Locate all your jar files in your Jdev installation (find /jdevinstalldir -name *.jar) and make sure that they are all in your classpath. Check the script that starts the IDE and see if it is setting a classpath. Sometimes the CP is set using a command line option of the java command (i.e. something like: java -cp {classpath} com.oracle.IDEStartup). Make sure all the jar files that the script expects to find actually exist. The Eclipse error message is a little more descriptive. It's looking for a native library (as opposed to a Java class file) and it's telling you exactly which one it is looking for "/usr/local/eclipse/plugins/org.eclipse.swt.gtk64_3.0.1/os/linux/amd64/libsw t-pi-gtk-3063.so" -Jason -----Original Message----- From: fedora-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx [mailto:fedora-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Cyrus Adkisson Sent: Monday, November 15, 2004 1:22 PM To: For users of Fedora Core releases Subject: Re: NoClassDefFoundError after upgrade to FC3 Thanks for the reply. That's the whole error as far as jdev is concerned. When I try to run eclipse I get the following error, which may or may not be related: java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: /usr/local/eclipse/plugins/org.eclipse.swt.gtk64_3.0.1/os/linux/amd64/libswt -pi-gtk-3063.so: /usr/local/eclipse/plugins/org.eclipse.swt.gtk64_3.0.1/os/linux/amd64/libswt -pi-gtk-3063.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory at java.lang.ClassLoader$NativeLibrary.load(Native Method) at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadLibrary0(ClassLoader.java:1586) at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadLibrary(ClassLoader.java:1495) at java.lang.Runtime.loadLibrary0(Runtime.java:788) at java.lang.System.loadLibrary(System.java:834) at org.eclipse.swt.internal.Library.loadLibrary(Library.java:100) at org.eclipse.swt.internal.gtk.OS.<clinit>(OS.java:19) at org.eclipse.swt.internal.Converter.wcsToMbcs(Converter.java:63) at org.eclipse.swt.internal.Converter.wcsToMbcs(Converter.java:54) at org.eclipse.swt.widgets.Display.<clinit>(Display.java:118) at org.eclipse.ui.internal.Workbench.createDisplay(Workbench.java:268) at org.eclipse.ui.PlatformUI.createDisplay(PlatformUI.java:153) at org.eclipse.ui.internal.ide.IDEApplication.createDisplay(IDEApplication.java :122) at org.eclipse.ui.internal.ide.IDEApplication.run(IDEApplication.java:72) at org.eclipse.core.internal.runtime.PlatformActivator$1.run(PlatformActivator. java:335) at org.eclipse.core.runtime.adaptor.EclipseStarter.run(EclipseStarter.java:273) at org.eclipse.core.runtime.adaptor.EclipseStarter.run(EclipseStarter.java:129) at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke0(Native Method) at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(NativeMethodAccessorImpl.java:39 ) at sun.reflect.DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl .java:25) at java.lang.reflect.Method.invoke(Method.java:324) at org.eclipse.core.launcher.Main.basicRun(Main.java:185) at org.eclipse.core.launcher.Main.run(Main.java:704) at org.eclipse.core.launcher.Main.main(Main.java:688) Also, I just upgraded my java rpm (and set JAVA_HOME to the new location), so I know all the files are there. It must be a jar file that isn't in the classpath. What jar files would normally be in the CLASSPATH? Cyrus Cortezzo, Jason wrote: >Are you giving us the entire exception message?
