Error: could not find or load main class on Linux #13

Closed docthorium closed 1 year ago

docthorium commented 4 years ago

I tried to run the jar file with java -jar and it could not load the main class. I am running openJDK version 1.8.0_222 on Arch Linux.

Hello, can you paste the exact error message? Also note that OpenJDK doesn't come with JavaFX on some systems, so you may need to install it separately

Pretty certain he means Error: Could not find or load main class org.victoria2.tools.vic2sgea.gui.Main

Can't tell without the stack trace, but the most probable reason is that you're using OpenJDK and don't have JavaFX installed. In that case you may see something like that:

Error: Could not find or load main class org.victoria2.tools.vic2sgea.gui.Main
Caused by: java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: javafx/application/Application

You'll have to install openjfx, for example, or a different JavaFX distribution. The app will not and is not intended to work without JavaFX installed in the system

I never got the NoClassDefFoundError, it only reports the first part, I don't have time to manually build and setup JavaFX which would be the only way to get it functional on my setup, so I can't actually specifically confirm its a lack of JavaFX, though I can't discount it because all the usual current repos are dead.

looks like there's an easy way to bundle JavaFX since Java 11, will look into that

I'm having the same issue on windows despite installing from Oracle both the SE and the one linked in the readme.

EDIT: Fixed it by uninstall and reinstalling Java.

Hey, I've changed packaging, now the app should work as a regular executable, see latest release for links. Closing this for now, please reopen if it still does not worl
