Trouble running demo

[Guest]

I was about to post a question on why I got this message:

It seemed to be missing some libraries and I was sure I had set the paths correctly. I had read that the main jar finds the jcommon but I tried adding it as an extra class path... and then everything worked. Am I the stupid one, or is something fishy?

Hi,

the classpath definition inside the main jar file is only evaluated when starting the demo with

java - jar <jar-file>

On any other use, the jar's classpath will not be used and you'll have to set up an own.

Have more fun,

Hi again and thanks for the reply. Sorry for not replying sooner (I want to keep good forum manners...), but thanks again!
