Java 8: emmarun giving error 'MAIN_CLASS_NOT_FOUND'

Question

I am trying to follow the guide from Emma docs: http://emma.sourceforge.net/userguide_single/userguide.html, but the command java emmarun -cp out Main gives me an error as below:

 emmarun: [MAIN_METHOD_NOT_FOUND] application class [Main] does not have a runnable public main() method

I have tried the solutions from the possible duplicate links, but it didn't help.

I am using Java 8 (jdk/jre 1.8.0_144).

Kindly tell me what am I missing.

Answer 1

Have you tried to use -XX:-UseSplitVerifier?

java -XX:-UseSplitVerifier emmarun -cp out Main

Per Using emmarun (main method not found), it looks like Emma has not been updated to keep pace with some JDK changes, but this workaround should do the trick.
