NoClassDefFoundError - com/sun/jna/Pointer

[filipedfr]

Greetings, I was unsure of where I would ask for help in this matter, so sorry if I mistaken writing an issue.

I'm using ICMP4j to develop an academic project, where I need to perform traceroutes between machines to collect latency data. I'm executing in my IntelliJ IDEA the draft that it's presented in https://www_icmp4j_com.lastssl.com/d/index.html and I'm having the following error stack trace:

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: com/sun/jna/Pointer

I correctly imported the icmp4j library, IntelliJ doesn't complain and the code seems to compile fine. My project is a Maven project, the pom.xml contains this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

</project>

I hope you can help me out with this, I look forward to use this library and to reference it in the article I'm building, if it proves to be a useful tool!

Olá, you are running on a nix platform (linux or OSX) right ? I think the icmp4j.jar you use don't have the additional JNA or JNI libraries needed. try using the fat jar icmp4j-all.jar here

btw, this repos has not been updated for a while, Sal is maintaining this one

Not quite, I'm using Windows now, but I'll use Linux. I used the "-all.jar", it didn't worked either. Maybe the pom.xml is wrong...

Thanks for the follow up!

ok, strange, I suggested you open a ticket in the official repo.
