Visual Studio Code fails to use a library

I have project which I need to modify for a task and that runs a terminal with the help of a .jar file. I can run the very same Code on an IDE like Eclipse, but not VSC.
This is the error is get:
The jar files for this project are:
text-io-3.4.0.jar, slf4j-api-2.0.0-alpha5.jar and slf4j-nop-2.0.0-alpha5.jar

I assume it's about configurations. The path to the library is set within the project. I don't see the error, my professor doesn't use VSC.
What can I do to fix this? Do I need to provide more data? I could upload the files if needed.
-edit
here's a link to the dummy.java and the jar files
https://github.com/dangdung87/test
as for the lines causing the error:
private void run() {
TextIO textIO = TextIoFactory.getTextIO();
TextTerminal<?> textTerminal = textIO.getTextTerminal();

It appears that the textio lib needs the jline library (https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/jline/jline/2.14.6).
Download the jar and add it to the dependencies of the project.
We had the same problem with the catan project ;)

java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError when trying to instantiate class from jar

I did found quite a lot about this error, but somehow none of the suggested solutions resolved the problem.
I am trying to use JNA bindings for libgphoto2 under Ubuntu in Eclipse (moderate experience with Java on Eclipse, none whatsoever on Ubuntu, I'm afraid). The bindings in question I want to use are here:
http://angryelectron.com/projects/libgphoto2-jna/
I followed the steps described on that page, and made a simple test client that failed with the above error. So I reduced the test client until the only thing I tried to do was to instantiate a GPhoto2 object, which still produced the error. The test client looks like this:
import com.angryelectron.gphoto2.*;
public class test_class
{
public static void main(String[] args)
{
GPhoto2 cam = new GPhoto2();
}
}
The errors I get take up considerably more space:

libgphoto2 itself is installed, it runs from the command line, I even have the development headers and am able to call GPhoto2 functions from python, so the problem can't be located there.
When looking at the .class files in Eclipse, however, they didn't have any definitions. So I figured that might be the problem, especially since there was an error when building the whole thing with ant (although the .jar was succesfully exported, from what I could make out the error concerned only the generation of documentation).
So I loaded the source into eclipse and built the .jar myself. At this occasion Eclipse stated there were warnings during the build (though no errors), but didn't show me the actual warnings. If anyone could tell me where the hell the build log went, that might already help something. I searched for it everywhere without success, and if I click on "details" in eclipse it merely tells me where the warnings occured, not what they were.
Be that as it may, a warning isn't necessarily devastating, so I imported the resulting Jar into the above client. I checked the .class files, this time they contained all the code. But I still get the exact same list of errors (yes, I have made very sure that the old library was removed from the classpath and the new ones added. I repeated the process several times, just in case).
Since I don't have experience with building jars, I made a small helloworld jar, just to see if I could call that from another program or if I'd be getting similar errors. It worked without a hitch. I even tried to reproduce the problem deliberately by exporting it with various options, but it still worked. I tried re-exporting the library I actully need with the settings that had worked during my experiment, but they still wouldn't run. I'm pretty much stuck by now. Any hints that help me resolve the problem would be greatly appreciated.

In addition to what #Paul Whelan has said. You might have better luck by just get the missing jar directly.
Get the missing library here, set the classpath and then re-run the application again and see whether it will run fine or not.

What version of java are you using com/sun/jna/Structure may only work with certain JVMs.
In general, packages such as sun., that are outside of the Java platform, can be different across OS platforms (Solaris, Windows, Linux, Macintosh, etc.) and can change at any time without notice with SDK versions (1.2, 1.2.1, 1.2.3, etc). Programs that contain direct calls to the sun. packages are not 100% Pure Java.
More details here

Your jar needs a MANIFEST.MF which tells your application where the library is found. Create the file in you project root-directory in eclipse and add the following lines:
Manifest-Version: 1.0
Class-Path: <PATH_TO_LIB__CAN_BE_RELATIVE>.jar // e.g Class-Path: ../test.jar
<empty line>
Right-click your project in eclipse, go to Export->next->next->next->Use existing manifest from workspace, select it and click on finish. This should work.
Another solution is to compile the classes into the jar itself with Maven.

Java - NoClassDefFoundError although the class exists

I'm still very new to Java. I'm trying to use CMU's Sphinx4 voice recognition. When I used the compiling process they have prepared, everything worked fine. However, now that I'm trying to compile my own code separately I'm running into a problem.
In the codes source files (src/) exists an apps/ directory which contains the demos I'm trying to compile manually, along with a sphinx4/ directory which contains the main functions to be used. To compile the code I move into the apps/ directory and run
javac -classpath ../sphinx4/ edu/cmu/sphinx/demo/helloworld/HelloWorld.java. This compiles without error. However, then when I try to run the newly made class using java edu/cmu/sphinx/demo/helloworld/HelloWorld the result is:
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: edu/cmu/sphinx/util/props/ConfigurationManager
at edu.cmu.sphinx.demo.helloworld.HelloWorld.main(HelloWorld.java:33)
Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: edu.cmu.sphinx.util.props.ConfigurationManager

Yet, as far as I can tell, the class does exist right where it should be. src/sphinx4/edu/cmu/sphinx/util/props/ConfigurationManager.class exists. I'm guessing there is a good reason that it is considered not found when it is there, but I just don't know it because I don't know enough about Java yet. What might cause this to happen?
Thank you for your time!

Two problems:
You need to specify the classpath when you run as well as when you compile
You need to specify a class name to run; that won't have slashes in
You want:
java -classpath .:../sphinx4 edu.cmu.sphinx.demo.helloworld.HelloWorld
Use ";" instead of ":" if you're running on Windows.
(Your error message suggests that you actually are giving the right class name, in which case your question hasn't really shown what you're doing. It's important to be accurate in your question, in order to get helpful answers.)

Look:
Note 4:
If you have the source distribution, make sure that the JAR file lib/sphinx4.jar is built. If not, go to the top level directory and type: ant.

You should probably use ant to build the project with your new class(es).
Did you follow the instructions here: http://cmusphinx.sourceforge.net/sphinx4/#how_build ?
Good luck!

Getting a weird ClassNotDefFoundException on runtime with GWT

I am deploying a web application based on GWT. When I compile, I don't get any errors, but in runtime, I get this one (not complete stack trace):
java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/xmlpull/v1/XmlPullParserException
at org.gvsig.remoteClient.sos.SOSClient.<init>(SOSClient.java:47)
at com.uji.project.server.ConnectServiceImpl.makeConnection(ConnectServiceImpl.java:18)
at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke0(Native Method)
Caused by:
Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.xmlpull.v1.XmlPullParserException
at java.net.URLClassLoader$1.run(Unknown Source)
at java.security.AccessController.doPrivileged(Native Method)
I have read on this website that that is probably caused if one or more classes are not available on running time but, as seen, the error is caused by some problem with the XML parser, but I have the XML parser included in my lib folder. In detail, in the project's lib folder, it is possible to find 3 JAR files: gwt-maps.jar, gwt-servlet.jar, and kxml2.jar*.
If I open "kxml2.jar" file I can see folder org that within has xmlpull folder, that within has v1 folder and finally XmlPullParserException.class.
So...why on runtime do I not have this class available if it is included on the lib folder?

In appengine classes can only access to the classesof the JRE which are in this whitelist. If this jar is using another class of the JRE it won't be included in runtime.
Here you can read that "XML processing APIs including DOM, SAX, and XSLT" are compatible with appengine. Maybe xmlpullparser is not compatible, but I'm not sure.

Finally a colleague told me the solution to this runtime error! :D
When a GWT application is deployed, many files are copied under a small file structure (pending from ) that contains all classes, libraries and other files that are needed on runtime.
For some reason, if you don't tell on purpose Eclipse to copy (on compile/deploy time) a specific library into that PATH, the application will not find on runtime that library and will raise an error.
Solution (for me) was as simple as copying by hand that library into that folder: In my case was copying "kxml2.jar" under "C:\gwt-2.1.0\SOSProject\war\WEB-INF\lib". I restarted the application and just worked. :D
I hope this patch/solution will help others to solve this annoying problem under GWT!

Try this
Window->Preferences->Java Build Path->Add Jars
Navigate to your project/lib, select kxml2.jar Hit OK.

In the end, what I did was to start again from the beginning: In the same workspace I had different projects and maybe there were, let's say, interferences between them.
So, I unzipped again the GWT SDK, start a new project, copied the original source code on the new project, deployed it and on runtime, now I am not getting that weird ClassNotDefFound error. Now I am getting another one, but that is another issue! Thanks to all.

Issue while loading a dll library file... java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: Can't load library

While loading a dll file, I am getting the following exception:
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError:

not sure about the root cause of the issue. Can anybody help me out in resolving this issue.
Thanks,

I work for the company that makes the product you're trying to use. We've seen this error when it's been installed against an incompatible version of the underlying layer we ship with it, because of missing dependent DLLs as others have suggested. Feel free to contact our support team for more help.

This does not have to do anything with the classpath. Place the DLL in the current directory, in one of the directories listed in the PATH environment variable, or, best of all, in the native library search path, set using the system property java.library.path:
java -Djava.library.path=C:\MyNativeLibs MyMainClass

As well as checking your are putting the path to the DLL in the correct environment variable you should also check the following:
The DLL you are loading has all its dependencies satisfied. In other words, if this DLL depends on other DLLs, make sure those DLLs can also be found.
If the DLL being loaded uses a manifest to specify a specific DLL, ensure that DLL (of the version specified in the manifest) is also on the machine (or in the GAC, if required) and can be found
Check that all DLL functions referred in your Java code are correctly defined and exported and export the same datatypes as those your Java code is expecting. This won't stop the DLL loading, but it may well mess up the next stage - resolving link addresses or making functions that should work, fail in unexpected ways.
Lots of fun to be had with this - lots of little things to trip you up. I had to deal with this a few years back messing with a text to speech package (in C & C++ in a DLL) working with different versions of Java with old and new JNI styles. What a mess!

I have not seen this problem myself, but from the error message it sounds like some dependency needed by the DLL is either missing or incorrect version.
This tool might help: http://www.dependencywalker.com/

For me, adding the dll path to the VM options in my IDE worked.

Check that the "java.library.path" contains the folder containing .dll file.
On windows machine it is related to PATH.
