ExceptionInInitializerError Caused by java.util.MissingReso

[manolakis]

Hi there
It's my first time here and i would like to congradulate everyone that has contributed to that project. I am really surprised.
The reason that i am posting here is that i am trying out a demo and having some problems
I have managed to compile the source code and the whole package. Unfortunately when i run the java class file through a terminal window i get the following error.

bash-3.1$ java TimeSeriesDemo5
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.ExceptionInInitializerError

I would be glad if anyone was familiar with this exception

Thanks for your time

Does it work if you use the JFreeChart and JCommon jar files included in the distribution?

If you rebuilt the jar files yourself, did you use the Ant script included in the distribution? The Ant script copies across some ResourceBundle class files into the jar, which you must have present or you'll get an exception like the one you posted.
