Java can't find jackson jar file - java

I need to use jackson to handle some JSON in my code. I wrote a simple test class to get it working.
import com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.ObjectMapper;
public class Test {
public static void main(String[] args) {
ObjectMapper objectMapper = new ObjectMapper();
}
}
I placed jackson-databind-2.9.9.1.jar in /dirwherejarresides/jdk/jre/lib/ext.
I am able to compile the class with no issues, and produce Test.class.
javac Test.java
However, I can't seem to get java find the jar & execute the class.
java -cp "/dirwhereclassresides/java" Test Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: com/fasterxml/jackson/annotation/JsonView

I tried adding the path where the jar resides, but I get the same error.

What do I need to do to get java to see the jar?

Jackson library is split into several jar-modules that declare dependencies between each other. For example: jackson-databind depends on jackson-annotations and jackson-core.
The jackson-databind-*.jar does not actually contain a class for JsonView annotation that you get the exception about. It is placed in the jackson-annotations-*.jar file. But to be able to parse a JSON with Jackson you will definitely need jackson-core-*.jar as well.
Btw, your second way to pass a class path is more correct, you need to list all jar-files your class depends on in the -cp parameter split by colon on the Unix/Linux systems. E.g.
$ java -cp ".:/pathtojackson/jackson-databind-2.9.9.1.jar:/pathtojackson/jackson-core-2.9.9.jar:/pathtojackson/jackson-annotations-2.9.9.jar" Test
You can also use star-expressions in -cp parameter, see https://stackoverflow.com/a/219801/2288384

It is complaining about annotation/JsonView and seems like it found jackson data-bind. Since you are not using maven, I suspect jackson-core which is a transitive dependency of data-bind, is not injected.
Try adding jackson-core into your classpath.

Often ClassNotFoundException are a side effect of you having the two of the same packages with different versions. Print out a dependency tree and see that there is not two versions of the same dependency loaded.

GATE Java error

I know almost nothing about Java so please take it easy on me. I'm using this plugin, which I've had working nicely for a few days on my Mac (following the repo's very simple instructions below), but when I took it to an Ubuntu instance I got the following error:
ResumeParser/ResumeTransducer$ java -cp 'bin/*:../GATEFiles/lib/*:../GATEFILES/bin/gate.jar:lib/*' code4goal.antony.resumeparser.ResumeParserProgram somefile.pdf somefile.json

Anyone have thoughts on what is going wrong?
Installation and usage instructions:
1. git clone https://github.com/antonydeepak/ResumeParser.git
2. cd ResumeParser/ResumeTransducer
3. export GATE_HOME="..\GATEFiles"
Paths are case sensitive in Ubuntu, GATEFiles is different from GATEFILES. Since gate.SimpleAnnotation is in gate.jar, I bet that your classpath should be:
-cp 'bin/:../GATEFiles/lib/:../GATEFiles/bin/gate.jar:lib/*'
Disclaimer: I haven't used this plugin, I don't know if the other parts of the classpath are correct.
In general, you can "debug" by trying
ls ../GATEFiles/bin/
to see if there is a gate.jar file.
It's hard to know, but most likely the class it cannot find is in the gate.jar file, and it is either not on the new machine, or is not in the correct place on the new machine.
To expand slightly: Classes are found in a couple of places, but you specify a gate.jar on the classpath of the command line (that's what the -cp designates), so I'm guessing it's there. Since java can't find it, I'm guessing further that the necessary jar file is not where it needs to be for the Java runtime to find it.
For Linux and OSX use '/' and ':' , try this call .. it worked for me
java -cp './bin/*:../GATEFiles/lib/*:../GATEFiles/bin/gate.jar:./lib/*' code4goal.antony.resumeparser.ResumeParserProgram cv.pdf cv.json

Runtime error loading Interface definition in Java using Apache HTTP library

I am attempting to make a simple wrapper around an API connection in Java. I am using the org.apache.http library to do this.
I have downloaded the following jar files:
org.apache.http httpclient saved as ./org.apache.httpclient.jar
org.apache.http httpcore saved as ./org.apache.httpcore.jar
I can then successfully compile the file with:
$ javac -cp "./org.apache.httpclient.jar:./org.apache.httpcore.jar" Api.java
However when running it with $ java Api I receive:

[It turned out the issue was with how code was being run after compilation; the code has been removed to avoid distracting from the actual problem and solution]
I can't see why the system has a problem finding the HttpEntity interface when it finds other imports successfully, and can compile. If I remove any of the import lines compilation fails with unknown symbol errors.
-cp should contain the directory where you classes are, for example:
java -cp "./org.apache.httpclient.jar:./org.apache.httpcore.jar:." Api
Assuming that your Api.class is in the current directory. (replace : by ; as classpath separator if your are on a windows system)
Have you tried running the java with '-classpath'. While compiling you are giving the classpath, so you need to add the classpath option for running the class file as well.
More details can be found at below link:
http://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/technotes/tools/windows/classpath.html
Also you can print which libs are in classpath using below command.
java -cp $(for i in lib/*.jar ; do echo -n $i: ; done). com.test.Class

Can any one give me a solution for the above error?
Please check if you have httpcore jar. I got rid of this error, after adding httpcore-4.2.jar to my lib.
It's difficult to pinpoint the exact reason why your application raises this exception, but a few common pointers that might help you.
The exception is raised when you are using a class in your code that isn't available when it runs. In this case, it seems you are unable to use org.apache.http.protocol.HttpContext. Most likely, you created an application that does include the Amazon AWS jar, but lacks the Apache HTTPClient jar.
If you used gradle/maven to create your application, include it in your dependencies. It it's a plain Java program, ensure the required JARs are available in your classpath (e.g. the same place as you currently have the Amazon jar located).

The error is java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError
Now the Obvious reason of NoClassDefFoundError is that a particular class is not available in Classpath, so we need to add that into Classpath or we need to check why it’s not available in Classpath if we are expecting it to be.
Now the files that I have added to the classpath are the following.
export CLASSPATH=$(JARS=(./lib/*.jar); IFS=:; echo "${JARS[*]}")
export CLASSPATH=$CLASSPATH:~/.m2/repository/org/apache/httpcomponents/httpclient/4.0.1/httpclient-4.0.1.jar
export CLASSPATH=$CLASSPATH:~/.m2/repository/org/apache/httpcomponents/httpcore/4.0.1/httpcore-4.0.1.jar
export CLASSPATH=$CLASSPATH:~/.m2/repository/commons-logging/commons-logging/1.1.1/commons-logging-1.1.1.jar
export CLASSPAHT=$CLASSPATH:~/ms_thesis/ONOS/httpcore-4.1.jar
#export CLASSPATH=$CLASSPATH:~/ms_thesis/ONOS/lib/httpclient-4.2.jar
export CLASSPATH=$CLASSPATH:~/google-gson-2.2.4/gson-2.2.4.jar
What jar file should I add to find "org/apache/http/params/SyncBasicHttpParams" I am very new to java and don't know how to debug this issue.
According to the official documentation, the class that you seek is only in httpcore since 4.1. You'll want to pull a new JAR.
org/apache/http/params/SyncBasicHttpParams class is under httpcore-4.1-alpha1.jar , which can be downloaded from
http://mirrors.ibiblio.org/pub/mirrors/maven2/org/apache/httpcomponents/httpcore/4.1-alpha1/httpcore-4.1-alpha1.jar
In future if you need to find a jar for a class, then you can use this link, this is generally helpful:
http://www.findjar.com/
In your case it seems to br you missing out some necessory jar files to include in your project
otherwise you any one of your linked is giving an exception mainly because of static method invocation or intialization
Here's the link to get the jar file httpcore-4.1

Jsoup error at run time: Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError

I am getting the following error

Now what I have done so far:
I created a libs folder in my project folder and added the Jsoup.jar there. Then in eclipse I click properties, add external Jar and added it. I see the referenced library.
But the issue still persist. I dont get compilation errors. So this is a runtime issue. Appreciate the help.
Edit:
I have found the following
If I compile using
javac -classpath /path/to/jsoup.jar myclass.java
and then
java -classpath /path/to/jsoup.jar myclass
It runs perfect.
Now. This is not working for me because I am going to use my application on a computer that does not have Jsoup. So how to I resolve this runtime issue?
Go to Run configurations... menu and check classpath for Run task. It looks like you add library for Compilation step, but it doesn't set at Run step.
Edit (after comment)
I dove into the issue and found that this dependency is needed for application container. So you just need to add this library to classpath of your app server. If you use Tomcat, just put the library to the %CATALINA_HOME%\lib directory.
