java.io.IOException: No FileSystem for scheme: maprfs. Adding the maprfs jar to bash_profile didn't work

I am getting the below error when running the following command through spark-shell. I have also added the maprfs jar in my bash_profile as shown below.I tried most of the solutions from similar posts, but unable to fix this.

If you look at the Spark architecture, you will see that you have drivers and executors. When you set an environment like you did, it will affect your driver, not the executor.
Look at this question. This should help you.

This looks like you are using a version of Spark that doesn't have the various MapR jars in the class path. It is very hard to tell since you don't provide any information about which version of software you are using.
Have you tried with the MapR supplied version?

Exception in thread "Thread-60" java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: no jniopencv_core in java.library.path

Attempting to build sikuli-slides-1.5.0 with the command "mvn clean install", I am getting the above referenced stack trace. I am using Windows 7 and have attempted the instructions I have come across for various solutions proposed on here to no avail. My Path and CLASSPATH variables for both user and system defined variables include:
"C:\opencv\build\x64\vc10\bin"
and I have restarted my machine multiple times.
In addition, I have added javacv.jar, javacv.windows-x86.jar, javacv.windows-x86_64.jar to my project's build path and have javacv-0.9.jar in my pom.xml. I have also included javacpp-0.9.jar in my pom as well. I can visually see all of the above referenced jars on my build path and can import the jniopencv_core into any of my classes. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. While executing the JUnit test AutomationExecutorExceptionTest.java, the test fails and creates an orphaned java.exe process that must be manually shut down.
The full stack trace is listed below.

Your stack trace contains the following line:
Exception in thread "Thread-60" java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: no jniopencv_cor e in java.library.path at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadLibrary(ClassLoader.java:1886)
Notice the space between jniopencv_cor and e?
One of your configuration files contain a space where it shouldn't.

The directions are highly confusing for the javacv files. The issue was that I had to actually explode the contents of the jar file and expose the DLLs in the directory. The instructions packaged with the jars of javacv instructed me to simply place the binaries on the classpath.

I had the same problem and I solved it by adding the following dependency in my Maven project for Sikuli Slides 1.5.1:
GroupId: org.bytedeco.javacpp-presets
AritfactId: opencv
Version: 2.4.9-0.9
Type: jar
Classifier: windows-x86_64
In my case I was using Windows 7 64-bit. After adding this dependency I was able to successfully build Sikuli Slides.

Java Attach API: UnsatisfiedLinkError

When using the Java Attach API, I'm getting the following link error on Linux (tried it on different machines) only:
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: sun.tools.attach.WindowsAttachProvider.tempPath()Ljava/lang/String;
at sun.tools.attach.WindowsAttachProvider.tempPath(Native Method)
at sun.tools.attach.WindowsAttachProvider.isTempPathSecure(WindowsAttachProvider.java:74)
at sun.tools.attach.WindowsAttachProvider.listVirtualMachines(WindowsAttachProvider.java:58)

at sun.tools.jconsole.LocalVirtualMachine.getAttachableVMs(LocalVirtualMachine.java:151)
at sun.tools.jconsole.LocalVirtualMachine.getAllVirtualMachines(LocalVirtualMachine.java:110)
...
Interestingly, on Solaris and Windows it's working out of the box.
I tried out several combinations of specifying java.library.path to point to the directory which contains the libattach.so but with no luck.
What's wrong here?
And as a bonus question: Is there a way to see which native library is actually bound to a java class?

Different AttachProvider are used on different platforms. On Linux, it shouldn't use sun.tools.attach.WindowsAttachProvider. It is for Windows.
[solaris] sun.tools.attach.SolarisAttachProvider
[windows] sun.tools.attach.WindowsAttachProvider
[linux] sun.tools.attach.LinuxAttachProvider
This is configured in a resource file META-INF\services\com.sun.tools.attach.spi.AttachProvider (typically this file exists in tools.jar). It will search CLASSPATH to get first occurrence of this resource file and read the AttachProvider implementation class from it.
So you can probably resolve this problem by search sun.tools.attach.WindowsAttachProvider in your CLASSPATH. Possibly you have included a tools.jar from Windows.

deploy java app on Heroku launch.main error

I want to deploy a java appa on HEROKU. I am new to maven. I made all set up as per in the deploy a sample app to heroku (java+maven+ tomcat7)documentation.
and i made a bulid,It was successfull. But as soon i typed sh /target/bin/weapps i am getting the following error. Can anybody help me to sort out this issue.

I had a similar problem, I (well, almost) solved it this way, just remove:
<packaging>war</packaging>
from pom.xml. I know this is not an ideal solution, but somehow the embedded tomcat plugin doesn't work with war packaging!

I don't have enough points to comment, but what article are you following? Can you link it?
Based on the error, I suspect your Main.java is not in src/main/java/launch. If you follow these instructions, I think you should be able to clear up the error:
http://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/create-a-java-web-application-using-embedded-tomcat
If that's the article you're following and you're still having trouble, it may ease the problems you're having if you simply clone the sample repo:
git clone git://github.com/heroku/devcenter-embedded-tomcat.git

Since you said you are new to maven, I think the reason of this error is that you simply put your *.java code under the root folder of the project, while you are rather expected to put it under ./src/main/java/
This should work for you. I experienced the same problem and figured this out.

This is probably dead, but in case it helps people of the future.
I was getting up and running with a java app on Heroku, using an Ubuntu machine for development - and got this same Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError.
Double check that you're using the same java compiler version as your java sdk version.
type java -version & javac -version. Make sure they are the same version.
If not, you can fix this by reconfiguring your environment to use the same for both.
Assuming you have downloaded and installed the java version you want to use, type :
`sudo update-alternatives --config java`
You'll get a nice menu with options
Selection Path Priority Status

2 /usr/lib/jvm/jdk1.7.0/bin/java 1
Select the version you wish to use. Done.
Now try to build.

Plugin inside Sametime with Lotus Notes Classess - The Whole Story

It's gonna be a long read so Thanks for being patient :).
I have been trying to develop a plugin to be executed inside Lotus Sametime. The idea of this plugin is to extract the calendar entries for a given date and then display it in sametime. Simple isn't it, i thought so too. Apparently I was wrong and grossly misunderstood the JVM version compatibility issues. I first did an independent test in the default Java 1.6 and it worked fine, I got the entries and got the code ready to move to the Sametime Development environment.
I moved to the plugin development environment to insert my code.My first issue came, when I added the Notes.jar to the External jar list and the import lotus.domino line. The IDE told me this
The type org.omg.CORBA.UserException cannot be resolved. It is indirectly referenced from required .class files
After some googling , i referenced the ibmorbapi.jar in the project and got it running. Unfortunately for me even that didn't work out. The plugin itself failed to load and this is what i got

Since that was not gonna work. I thought why not create the NotesCalendarExtraction part into a separate jar execution file and get a xml file with the calendar entries in it and then give it to the plugin to show the entries. I know it was not the best solution but i was desperate and wanted to get this working. In anycase, the idea kinda worked well when I had hardcoded the jar file and and the path to the generated xml file. Btw I was executing the jar file using the getRuntime.exec module in java. Time came to get it running generically and unfortunately for me the exec module was not accepting spaces in its path so program files was out of question. I was not sure if this was right method but then the jar as such was not executing either for some reason. I tried putting in a bat file with the appropriate command line parameters and it generated the xml when executed in the command line but not when running from the eclipse ide for reasons known only to the IDE. I was out of options at this point and I got my hands on another plugin which did exactly the same thing with regard to getting the calendar entries. I decompiled plugin and checked out the source code and saw the code was using a class loader to do the job. A new hope got into me when i saw this code. After some googling i put together some code which did the job for me. Time came for the acid test, i put the code into the plugin env and this is what I got.

It's really frustrating again to the version error. The sametime plugin dev environment runs on J9 JVM and the for some reason that is not enough for notes.jar ibmorbapi.jar i guess. Atleast that is what my assumption is about the error.
I would appreciate any help on this from you guys. "org/omg/CORBA/UserException" seems to be crux of the issue and I am simply not able to get over it. I can get the external jar execution working in some complex way but I don't want to do it as i feel its the best way to get calendar entries from notes. I am sure it has to be reasonably simple and any help on this would be appreciated.

There are two jars that are related to talking to a Notes application.
Notes.jar - This is a JNI wrapper for LSXBE classes. In order for it to work correctly you will need Lotus Notes installed on the machine and the main directory on the system PATH.
NCSO.jar - This is for making DIIOP connections to a Domino server. This does not require Lotus Notes to be installed. It does require a Domino server you can connect to which has DIIOP enabled on it.
It is unclear if you have Notes installed?
The jars are also specific to certain JVM versions.
Java 6 - Notes 8.5.1
Java 5 - Notes 8.x
Java 1.4.2 - Notes 7.x
Java 1.3 - Notes 6.x
"bad major version at offset" means your are running the wrong jar for the JVM (eg. 851 jar on 1.4.2).
To rule out any configuration issues first I recommend creating just a simple java application which makes a connection to Notes/Domino. Once that works then you know your paths/jars are all set up correctly.

Looks like CORBA classes are compiled for a newer JDK. You need to find an older version of the JAR, or, alternatively, get the sources and compile them under your JDK (J9?). From what I see from a brief Google search, J9 is either 1.4 or even 1.3 compatible.
Also, make sure that all the code you compile yourself has the same target Java version, i.e. 1.4 (1.3?) in this case.
