Problem Installing jEdit from .jar file

Submitted by matazar42 on Sunday, 16 October, 2005 - 20:22

Ok, I've never installed anything from a .jar before so I probably forgot something stupid. I'm using RedHat 9 linux. I downloaded the .jar and ran it with this output:

[root@localhost zips]# java -jar ./jedit42install.jar
Warning: -jar not understood. Ignoring.
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: ..jedit42install.jar

Any help is appreciated.

From your stack trace, I notice that your "java" command is mapped to the gnu virtual machine. I don't know if this supports the execution of jar files, I suggest installing the sun JVM (http://java.sun.com/).
You can verify what jvm you are using by typing "java -version"

I believe I did install the s

I believe I did install the sun version of java. This is the output of the java -version command.

[matthew@localhost matthew]$ java -version
java version "1.3.1"
jdkgcj 0.2.3 (http://www.arklinux.org/projects/jdkgcj)
gcj (GCC) 3.2.2 20030222 (Red Hat Linux 3.2.2-5)

Thanks for your help.

try this way

The output of your java -version indicates that you're using the gnu's JVM. If you really installed the SUN's one, try
'locate java | grep bin'
to see in what locations you installed the 'java' command - usually, in the same folder there are other commands like javaws. For example, you could find (two lines of output)

/usr/bin/java
/usr/j2sdk1.4.1_02/jre/bin/java

so, type

[localhost]$ /usr/j2sdk1.4.1_02/jre/bin/java -version

If the output indicates the SUN's JVM, you can safely type
/usr/j2sdk1.4.1_02/jre/bin/java -jar ./jedit42install.jar
and it should work! Alternatively, you could change you PATH env variable to use the SUN's jvm by default.
If, instead, someone succeeded in using jedit with the gnu's jvm, please tell us! But if I remember well, it doesn't have support for the Swing classes that jedit uses...
