Compilation probleme for Jaws Wordnet

Question

I'm trying to use JAWS Api for Wordnet, and i want to do a test with this code :

import edu.smu.tspell.wordnet.*;

public class Wordnettest {

    public static void main(String[] args) {

            System.setProperty("wordnet.database.dir", "/var/www/toto/Wordnet/WordNet-3.0/dict/");
             WordNetDatabase database = WordNetDatabase.getFileInstance();
        NounSynset nounSynset;
        Synset[] synsets = database.getSynsets("bus", SynsetType.NOUN);
        System.out.println("Le Mot Bus");
        for (int i = 0; i < synsets.length; i++) {
            nounSynset = (NounSynset) synsets[i];
            System.out.println("Définition " + i + " : "
                    + nounSynset.getDefinition());
            System.out.println("Synonymes du Mot : ");
            for (String syn : nounSynset.getWordForms())
                System.out.println("    " + syn);

        }
}

But when i compile, using : javac -cp jaws.jar Wordnettest.java My Wordnettest.class is here, but when i launch it with : java Wordnettest I have this :

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: edu/smu/tspell/wordnet/WordNetDatabase
        at Wordnettest.main(Wordnettest.java:11)
Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: edu.smu.tspell.wordnet.WordNetDatabase

        ... 1 more

I don't understand why because i set the dic with setProperty...

Could you help me ? Thanks!

Answer 1

You have to add that jar into classPath for the project as well as the server if you are using one.

To do so:

Right click on project -> Build path -> Configure Build Path -> Add External JARs -> Select JAWS-version.jar

Run -> Run Configurations -> Select Your server -> Class path tab -> Click on user Entries -> Add External JARs -> Select JAWS-version.jar

All the answers I read when I had the issue failed to mention the Run Configuration for the server.
