Minim ErrorOnInitializerError

in Core Library Questions • 1 year ago

Hey Everyone!,

I'm extremely new to processing and as part of a class for school we were tasked with creating an app using processing. Now I want to add music to that app but I'm getting an error that causes the app to terminate.

I declare my minim object
and then try to initialize it in the setup()

minim = new Minim(this)

This line causes my log to explode with errors.

The main one being

java.long.ExceptionInInitializerError

caused by

java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError

Now my imports are all in order and I have all the .jar files added to my buildpath.
I think it might be something with how it's reading the minim files but I'm not sure....

Can anyone provide me with some sort of guidance as to why the initialization would give me so much trouble?
I've googled my brains out and I'm literally in the dark cause I haven't found anything where someone has a similar error. :x

Thanks in advance!

" I have all the .jar files added to my buildpath"
Do this means that you use Eclipse or some other IDE (ie. not the PDE)?

" java.long.ExceptionInInitializerError"
There is no java.long package, so I suppose it is java.lang...

I rarely, if ever, see this error. I looked for it, I see: " Signals that an unexpected exception has occurred in a static initializer. An ExceptionInInitializerError is thrown to indicate that an exception occurred during evaluation of a static initializer or the initializer for a static variable. "
The "static initializer" part suggests you have wrongly placed the minim = new Minim(this) line, but we are lacking context... Perhaps this isn't what you (or Minim) expects, for example.
In such case, if your sketch is already long, it is better to try and make a simpler sketch focusing on your problem (using Minim, here). If you reproduce the error, you can show us the problematic code. If not, you can try and iterate between the two sketches, either to fix one or to reproduce the issue...

My bad I thought about that after I posted this. My group chose to develop the app in Eclipse. Importing processing.core etc etc

The project itself is really long, and the minim declaration is in the setup(). I'll try setting up a dummy project and see if maybe that will help me.

Thanks for the help!
