installation problem: NoSuchMethodError
« on: Oct 30th, 2003, 5:10pm » |

I've just downloaded the expert version of build 67, and I'm trying to run it for the first time (Win2k).
My JAVA_HOME env var is set correctly. Java version is 1.4.1.
I get the following error when I call run-expert.bat:
Exception in thread "main"
java.lang.NoSuchMethodError
at PdeEditor.<init>(PdeEditor.java:210)
at PdeBase.<init>(PdeBase.java:345)
at PdeBase.main(PdeBase.java:170)
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Tom

looks like the default java vm is a 1.3 runtime. open up a command prompt and type "java -version" to see what you get as the default.
using the 'standard' release ought to fix this, whether you either 1) don't want to reinstall java 1.4, or 2) that running "java -version" claims that the 1.4 vm is the default.

Thanks Ben -- sorted.
I just needed to update my PATH, prepending the 1.4 sdk 'bin' directory.
Just a thought: you might consider modifying run-expert.bat to check if JAVA_HOME is set, and if so, calling '%JAVA_HOME%\bin\java', rather than just 'java'. I think this is quite common practice when developing java apps (at least, I've used it and seen it used for a number of java-based development projects).
This approach makes it easy for different projects to select from one of a number of different installed java SDKs. The Apache jakarta projects use this idiom. See ant.bat for an example...
Best wishes,
Tom
