Greetings,
I am about 4 hours into JAVA and am making a big mess of it.
Last night (at home) I installed the latest JAVA and NetBeans and got a "Hello World"
Today I installed the 2 at work and am getting errors involving: "NoClassDefFoundError"
(even with what worked last night at home)
I found an example of an XML parsing code and cut and pasted it as my next example.
Here is the code:
/*
* To change this template, choose Tools | Templates
* and open the template in the editor.
*/
import java.io.*;
import org.w3c.dom.*;
import org.xml.sax.*;
import javax.xml.parsers.*;
import javax.xml.transform.*;
import javax.xml.transform.dom.DOMSource;
import javax.xml.transform.stream.StreamResult;
public class GetData{
static public void main(String[] arg) {
try{
BufferedReader bf = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(System.in));
System.out.print("Enter XML file name: ");
String xmlFile = bf.readLine();
File file = new File(xmlFile);
if (file.exists()){
DocumentBuilderFactory factory = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();
DocumentBuilder builder = factory.newDocumentBuilder();
Document doc = builder.parse(xmlFile);
// Create transformer
Transformer tFormer = TransformerFactory.newInstance().newTransformer();
// Output text type
tFormer.setOutputProperty(OutputKeys.METHOD, "text");
// Write the document to a file
Source source = new DOMSource(doc);
Result result = new StreamResult(System.out);
tFormer.transform(source, result);
}
else{
System.out.println("File not found!");
}
}
catch (Exception e){
System.err.println(e);
System.exit(0);
}
}
}My directory structure for the files is (Windows 7 here at work / XP at home): C:\Libraries\Documents\NetBeansProjects\GetData
Within my build folder - Classes and within classes is: GetData.class
here is the HTML that is generated:

There exist several targets which are by default empty and which can be
used for execution of your tasks. These targets are usually executed
before and after some main targets. They are:
-pre-init: called before initialization of project properties
-post-init: called after initialization of project properties
-pre-compile: called before javac compilation
-post-compile: called after javac compilation
-pre-compile-single: called before javac compilation of single file
-post-compile-single: called after javac compilation of single file
-pre-compile-test: called before javac compilation of JUnit tests
-post-compile-test: called after javac compilation of JUnit tests
-pre-compile-test-single: called before javac compilation of single JUnit test
-post-compile-test-single: called after javac compilation of single JUunit test
-pre-jar: called before JAR building
-post-jar: called after JAR building
-post-clean: called after cleaning build products
(Targets beginning with '-' are not intended to be called on their own.)
Example of inserting an obfuscator after compilation could look like this:
<target name="-post-compile">
<obfuscate>
<fileset dir="${build.classes.dir}"/>
</obfuscate>
</target>
For list of available properties check the imported
nbproject/build-impl.xml file.
Another way to customize the build is by overriding existing main targets.
The targets of interest are:
-init-macrodef-javac: defines macro for javac compilation
-init-macrodef-junit: defines macro for junit execution
-init-macrodef-debug: defines macro for class debugging
-init-macrodef-java: defines macro for class execution
-do-jar-with-manifest: JAR building (if you are using a manifest)
-do-jar-without-manifest: JAR building (if you are not using a manifest)
run: execution of project
-javadoc-build: Javadoc generation
test-report: JUnit report generation
An example of overriding the target for project execution could look like this:
<target name="run" depends="GetData-impl.jar">
<exec dir="bin" executable="launcher.exe">
<arg file="${dist.jar}"/>
</exec>
</target>
Notice that the overridden target depends on the jar target and not only on
the compile target as the regular run target does. Again, for a list of available
properties which you can use, check the target you are overriding in the
nbproject/build-impl.xml file.
-->
</project>I see from searching that how things are named is key to this error.
Can you explain what I need to look for? (again I am as new as they come today)
The tutorial for this example read as if I could cut and paste the code and go.
(a little frustrated)
Thanks
