Fedora Users — Re: NoClassDefFoundError after upgrade to FC3

I disabled the gcc-java a long time ago. "java -version" and "which java" show that the system is using my Sun JDK. I also went back and got the recommended version of Sun JDK (1.4.2_03) and it does not fix the problem. This is really frustrating. I can't get jdeveloper, eclipse or netbeans to install. I'm going to need something to program with soon.

As far as eclipse, you may remember the error was:

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

Yet, ldconfig -p shows the file linked properly and the directory is listed in /etc/ld.so.conf. ldd on that file doesn't show any broken links, either. I'm totally baffled.

Do you have the Sun JDK installed?  The Jdeveloper install probably included
a JDK.  It could be that after the upgrade, the first "java" in your path is
the gcc java, which I am not familiar with.  You may have to adjust your
path/symlinks so that the correct JVM is invoked.
Try running...
java -version
And see what it says.
The command...
which java
Will show you which java is first in your path.

Correction: The error below is only if the java file is executed from the wrong directory. When executed from the correct directory, the same error from before happens:
java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError

java.lang.Class.forName(Class.java:141)
at oracle.ide.IdeCore.class$(IdeCore.java:89)

Well, there are about 200 jar files in the jdev installation directory, so the shotgun approach isn't very appealing. I don't see any kind of log files anywhere, either... I was able to do one thing, which was print out the actual java command (which is HUGE) with an echo in the jdev launch script. Cutting and pasting it, I was able to get more descriptive NoClassDefFoundError output:

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: oracle/jdeveloper/JDeveloper

I'm probably an idiot for not knowing right away what the problem is now. I know that java can't find the correct jar file containing the JDeveloper class, but how do I know where that is? jdevinstalldir/jdev/lib/jdev.jar has already been inserted into the classpath... what now?

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/amd6 4/libsw
t-pi-gtk-3063.so"

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:

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?

Are you giving us the entire exception message? It should tell you which class it is looking for. I think it usually prints right before the stack trace.

A NoClassDefFoundError means either a .jar file is missing or your CLASSPATH enviornment no longer contains the necessary file.

Well, I uncovered one big clue. Whenever you upgrade to FC3, the system attempts to install gcc-java (and does) which can screw up the workings of your Sun java considerably. Among other things, FC3 installs a /usr/bin/java script that points to the gcc-java code so when you type java -version it gives you a bunch of gcc output. If you disable the /usr/bin/java script, then it will revert back to the Sun java.

However, doing that did not fix my problem. Jdeveloper still gives the same error I posted previously, as if it's searching for something in the classpath. Eclipse does something similar. Can anyone help me understand what I might need in the classpath for this to work again?

Hi everybody. I use jDeveloper from Oracle to program, create GUIs and manage my various projects. It's not open-source, but it's a very good program. I have been using it without errors for at least a year. Then, when I upgraded to Fedora Core 3, it was the only thing on my computer that stopped working. When I click on the icon on my desktop, nothing pops up, and top shows a massive load on the CPU for "jdev". When I run it in a terminal window, I get the following error:
java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError
    at java.lang.Class.forName0(Native Method)
    at java.lang.Class.forName(Class.java:141)

    at oracle.jdeveloper.JDeveloper.launch(JDeveloper.java:58)
    at oracle.jdeveloper.JDeveloper.main(JDeveloper.java:37)
I've got the same java SDK I had before, and the configuration files are pointing to it. Can anybody think of why an upgrade to Fedora Core 3 would be causing this error?
Thanks,
Cyrus
