I apologize for the redundant question but it seems the entire web doesn't have a clear answer to this major problem. I downloaded JXTA 2.7, dependency files, netty jars and it still doesn't work.
The answer to add a jar to the classpath is an answer without an answer. The answer of use the dependency files from sourceforge doesn't work. The answer of we need a proper version of netty is useless unless the right version number is provided.
So, can somebody please provide a CLEAR solution to this Netty "java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/jboss/netty/channel/socket/httptunnel/HttpTunnelClientChannelFactory" problem?
Thank you so much for your support!!
I think this is the same problem as JXTA JXSE 2.7 with broken JBoss Netty library dependency where instructions are provided on how to build a working netty jar.
