NoClassDefFound exception when instantiating classes

[ktrieu]

I recently tried to use the 4.0.0-SNAPSHOT version with IntelliJ and Maven, but it throws a NoClassDefFound exception when I try and instantiate your classes. I've pretty much copy-and-pasted the dependency tags you put in the README. This is probably not the place to put this, but I couldn't find any email associated with you. I tried asking StackOverflow, assuming it was my problem, but they can't seem to find an answer. I was hoping you could help.

My pom.xml

Can you paste(bin) your stacktrace and the maven command line which causes your exception too?

My stacktrace:

I was running package from IntelliJ, though I tried it with install just now and got the same error. I have cleaned the build directory multiple times, and it doesn't seem to affect anything.

[eldur]

hmm feels strange, your pom looks good.

• I've created a new maven project in intellij
• pasted you pom
• everything is fine

... have you tried to reimport your maven project?

[ktrieu]

I have auto re-import set as the default in IntelliJ. I just forced a re-import and nothing has changed. I also made a fresh, new project, and I get the same error.

[eldur]

Have you tried the released version or an other artifact?

[ktrieu]

I tried 3.1.0, and it works, save a warning about missing Log4J, which is apparently a common-ish problem. Unfortunately, I would like to use the features in 4.0.0, primarily the search class you have.

[eldur]

feels like a local maven problem. You can override this by installing the snapshot to your local repo.

git clone https://github.com/eldur/jwbf.git
cd jwbf
mvn clean install

[ktrieu]

During the clean install it complains about 3510 checkstyle errors, mainly anomalous line endings. Any way to just ignore those?

[ktrieu]

I found a switch to ignore the checkstyle warnings, and after the manual way you suggested, it finally works! Thanks for your help.
