Business Objects 'bcm.jar' error when exporting Java app

I have been working on creating a simple Java desktop app using the RESTful API for Business Objects and have run into an issue. Whenever I run my app in Eclipse in works fine; whenever I export it as a 'Runnable Jar' and select the Library handling option 'Package required libraries into generated JAR' it works fine. However, whenever I try to export it using the Library handling option 'Extract required libraries into generated JAR' I get the following error after running the app:
java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: Could not initialize class com.businessobjects.bcm.BCM
I have the 'bcm.jar' file added under a 'res' Source Folder and have it added to the Build Path. At one point I added all the JARs under the 'SAP BusinessObjects' java folder, and external folder, but it still throws the error. The problem stems from this line of code:
enterpriseSession = CrystalEnterprise.getSessionMgr().logon(userID, password, CMS, auth);
Would anyone know why I am getting said error? I really want to use the Extract option as it will improve performance as my app becomes larger. Any help resolving this issue would be greatly appreciated :)
EDIT: I would be happy to provide clarification or further detail upon request!

Seems this was introduced in SP04 and SAP has no intent of fixing it as the RESTful API wasn't designed to be used with Desktop apps.

Have you included the cryptojFIPS.jar? Leaving it out can cause the error.

How to use kamon system metrics without creating a shaded jar

Im currently trying to show System+Jvm metrics within a Grafana Dashboard, one option to gather these metrics is to use the kamon dependencies # http://mvnrepository.com/artifact/io.kamon
However whenever i attempt to run my jar i get an error although the build process is fine. The error relates to
Exception in thread "main" com.typesafe.config.ConfigException$Missing: No configuration setting found for key 'kamon.metric'
at com.typesafe.config.impl.SimpleConfig.findKey(SimpleConfig.java:124)
at com.typesafe.config.impl.SimpleConfig.find(SimpleConfig.java:145)
at com.typesafe.config.impl.SimpleConfig.find(SimpleConfig.java:151)
at com.typesafe.config.impl.SimpleConfig.find(SimpleConfig.java:159)
at com.typesafe.config.impl.SimpleConfig.find(SimpleConfig.java:164)
I have solved this problem by creating a shaded jar, as outlined in the akka docs http://doc.akka.io/docs/akka/snapshot/general/configuration.html.
It seems the problem with not merging all of the reference.confs and the defaults being lost. However the creation of a shaded jar seems overkill for what is required.
Has anyone else found a nicer solution to this?
Thanks

NoSuchMethodError with Camel RouteDefinition class

I am trying to debug a Java / Maven project with a lot of depencies on various libraries.
When I run it on a Linux server the program starts up fine, but when I try to run it in Eclipse it throws the following exception:
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: org.apache.camel.model.RouteDefinition.getErrorHandlerBuilder()Lorg/apache/camel/ErrorHandlerFactory;
at org.apache.camel.spring.spi.SpringTransactionPolicy.wrap(SpringTransactionPolicy.java:69)

Now, I can see that the RouteDefinition class is in the camel-core-2.9.3,jar and I can see that this library is imported. So how come it doesn't see that method?
How do I go about debugging this?
Could I get info from the process running on the Linux server? For example can I get the list of Jars that are imported and the order in which they are imported?
Many thanks!

The error that you're getting is caused by Maven pulling in the wrong version. Try deleting all versions out of your local repo, add it explicitly to your pom, clean out all of your builds, pray to the eclipse gods, etc. If it still gives you the error, check your local repo to see which wrong versions it pulled in, figure out what depends on them, and add explicit ignores for them while keeping the explicit include.

org.apache.axiom.om.util.AXIOMUtil cannot be resolved

I'm trying to generate some stubs for a WSDL (using xmlbeans) and keep running into some issues. I'm using the following page:
http://axis.apache.org/axis2/java/core/docs/userguide-creatingclients-xmlbeans.html
The only part of these steps that I'm skipping is the "client.java" part because I already have another project ready I want to plug the resulting jars into. A quick run down of my steps are as follows:
My WSDL is a crmonline instance, so I run something like this:
C:\Work\aaa2>WSDL2Java -uri
https://mycrmorgname.crm.dynamics.com/XRMServices/2011/Organization.svc?wsdl
-p crmsdk -d xmlbeans -s -o c:\mystubfolder
I build the project using "ant"
In my "client" project I reference the 2 jars created in .\build\lib
My project builds fine once I add all my axis2 / apache references etc, but when I launch it through playframework I get errors when I hit the first page. The first error seems to be:
17:48:45,289 ERROR ~ Error in ControllersEnhancer.
controllers.ProfileController.editProfile has not been properly enhanced
(fieldAccess javassist.expr.FieldAccess#212ca458).
or something similar to that. Scrolling down through the error I can see that I'm getting this:
The file /app/models/MyDynamicsClient.java could not be compiled.
Error raised is : org.apache.axiom.om.util.AXIOMUtil cannot be resolved
Now, I haven't even hit any of my web services yet, or even instantiated any of my classes ... I'm at a loss as to why this is happening. Or to be more accurate, what exactly am I messing up! Am I missing a reference to something? Doing a search on AXIOMUtil tells me this should be in Axiom-api (version I have is Axiom-api-1.2.10.jar). I have this referenced and doesn't seem to help. Or maybe I'm doing something else wrong someplace?
Some details on versions:
Axis2 1.5.4
Apache-ant 1.8.3
Any help would be very much appreciated!!

Ok, after trying a lot of different things and rereading the sites/instructions I realised what I was doing wrong. Or at least I figured out a couple of things that I started to do differently that fixed the problem.
Firstly, I was using jar files from another sample project for the apache http components. I don't know if this had an impact, but I downloaded a fresh version of this anyway and referenced those JARS instead.
Also, instead of creating jars in my "stub" project and referencing those I copied all the generated stubs/classes directly into the existing client project. I have a feeling this might have been what fixed my problem. Or maybe a mix of this and the previous step I did!
So my new steps are as follows:
Ensure you have all the correct versions downloaded for required components. In my case I have the following:
Apache Axis 2 v 1.5.4
Apache HTTP components client 4.1.3
Apache-ant 1.8.3
Copy all the JARS from the Axis2 and HTTP Components libs into your client project and reference them.
Use WSDL2Java to create your stubs and classes within it's own project.
Ensure the project builds using Ant
Copy all the generated class files within the src folder into the source folder of your client.
Fix any other reference isssues and Build
Thankfully this got me going.

Eclipse ClassNotFoundException

Everything works fined, but suddenly eclipse stopped execute and junit tests or even main method, when i run them using run as - > Java application, run as -> junit test
It simply throws error
Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: package.ClassName
whene ClassName - is class from where i trying to run method main.
It affect only one of my projects ... Different workspaces works fine, other project in same workspace works fine as well.
I'm sure if i recreate current project, error will gone. But the adjustments of this project in eclipse is really hard, so i want to avoid it.
Any clue?

The ClassName is not in the Class Path, if you start from console you should use -cp parameter , if from eclipse, please add ClassName to the sources of current(start) project.

Thanks to adarshr, I was able to look at the Problems window and determine that the build was failing because it could not find a class I had written.
I had used the MS TFS plugin to create a "shelveset" and it was supposed to have removed my pending changes in the process. However, this integration with the TFS snapin and Eclipse is obviously not well implemented, since the Eclipse project still thought the file existed and was complaining that it could not be compiled.
I went and manually deleted those "files" or "non-existing files" from the Eclipse project (that I thought I had removed with the shelveset action) and the problem was solved.
Also....
Another annoying things is that the Tomcat error I was getting by trying to debug within Eclipse was like this:
SEVERE: Error configuring application listener of class
com.CompanyName.ProjectName.servlet.StartupConfigListener
java.lang.ClassNotFoundException:
com.CompanyName.ProjectName.servlet.StartupConfigListener at
org.apache.catalina.loader.WebappClassLoader.loadClass(WebappClassLoader.java:1643)
In reality, there was no problem at all with StartupConfigListener.java!! The build failed due to the OTHER problems I mentioned above, and therefore I guess this was the first class it attempted to load and failed.... because the entire project hadn't been able to compile perhaps?
(Here's to hoping my next project is using Visual Studio instead of Eclipse!)

Ok, I finally figured it out. The problem was with installed JRE in eclipse setting. I was playing around with this setting and changed installed JRE to JDK, and for some reason it broke the eclipse project.

You can also try going back to the basics. Check your command line and VM args. I've had this situation where a VM arg I was passing in was a path to a file that had a space in the path, and I had forgotten to include the full path in quotes. So e.g., if my arg looked something like
-DFILE=C:\Documents and Settings\myfile
...I'd get a java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError caused by a java.lang.ClassNotFoundException.
