I am trying to convert a proprietary, third party IDL into java. I downloaded the IDL, opened up cmd.exe, navigated to the directory containing the IDL files, and then typed in the following command which was given explicitly by the provider of the third party IDL:
java com.sun.tools.corba.se.idl.toJavaPortable.Compile -fallTIE -pkgPrefix types org.hl7 -pkgPrefix CTSMAPI org.hl7 -pkgPrefix CTSVAPI org.hl7 CTSVAPI.idl
Unfortunately, this is throwing the following error in the command line:
Error: could not find or load main class com.sun.tools.corba.se.idl.toJavaPortable.Compile
I googled and found the definition of the class at this link.
I typed in java in the command prompt and got a list of methods, indicating that I can call java from the command prompt in that directory. Other web sites indicate that com.sun.tools.corba.se.idl.toJavaPortable.Compile has been a part of the jdk since at least version 1.3. So why am I getting this error?
The provider doesn't know what he's talking about. You should use the 'idlj' tool, with the same or corresponding arguments, not this undocumented invocation.
You may be getting the error because you're running the JRE 'java', not the JDK one. But it's wrong wrong wrong. Use idlj.

Eclipse has an option in Java Compiler tab:
Store information about method parameters (usable via reflection)
If I checked on the option. I am able to get method parameter via Parameter API. It is good.
If I turn on the option, Compiler will stored method parameter information in All my compiling classes. This may make the class/jar file bigger. Eclipse turn it off by default.
My question is: Is there any way to turn on the option for some class I want? Is there any compiler directive that I can add it into my java class for this purpose?
Thank you!
Yes in a way. This is an option to javac (see -parameters) and javac can be run on whatever set of files you would like. However, there is not any option to selectively apply -parameters to certain classes when running javac on multiple files, so you would have to run multiple javac's most likely. This could be done through a build file most likely with a build language (for instance Ant or Gradle).
I'm doing some basic java homework for a class on my new laptop - issue is, I can't seem to get the program to compile and run from my batch file using the directions the instructor gave me.
I've set the Path variable to my JDK inside the Environment Variables settings.
My program is a simple shipping program to keep track of shipment information - I have the program working flawlessly in NetBeans (which our instructor advised us to use for developing the code), but he's going to be testing them using batch files, so we're also advised to test them on our systems with one we create prior to turning them in - pretty straightforward.
Issue is, I cannot seem to get this to work. I've never done it before, but I've used .bat files to compile and run C++ programs, as well as using makefiles on a unix system, so I feel like I'm absolutely stupid for not figuring this out on my own, but none of my searches have returned any fruitful solutions that help at all.
My program consists of 3 .java files:
Shipment.java - an interface that contains abstracted methods that are implemented in the ShipmentHW1 class
ShipmentHW1.java - a class that implements the abstracted methods from Shipment and has constructors, etc to create a usable object
TestShipment.java - the main class of this program, which utilizes and creates ShipmentHW1 objects based on preset parameters. This is super duper basic stuff here, and again, it runs perfectly fine inside the NetBeans IDE.
The instructions given to us state to have the batch file inside the package directory (which in this case I've set aside a seperate folder on my desktop titled "shipping", which is the package name - shouldn't be any issues there), where the 3 .java files are located as well.
They say if you don't need to explicitly list the path to the JDK, then you can simply have
javac TestShipment.java
java TestShipment.java
pause
Afterwards I get errors talking about how it "cannot find symbol Shipment s = new ShipmentHW1();"
I've tried adding imports, but since they're in the same package it shouldn't even be an issue.
Directory path is
C:\Users\X\Desktop\shipping
All 7 files are contained within:
TestShipment.java
TestShipment.class
Shipment.java
Shipment.class
ShipmentHW1.java
ShipmentHW1.class
doHW1.bat
Does anyone have any idea? I can provide more information if I've been too vague
Also, I'm on Windows 8 if that makes any difference
Solved
Batch file now reads
javac TestShipment.java Shipment.java ShipmentHW1.java
cd ..
java shipment.TestShipment
pause
and it works like a charm. Anyone have any ideas why I had to call the package.class instead of just compiling it regularly?
Try doing
javac TestShipment.java
java TestShipment
pause
Without seeing the contents of TestShipment.java, I'll assume you have some dependency on the Shipment and ShipmentHW1 classes. As such, when you execute a program that uses the TestShipment class, you need to have the .class files for each of the three (and any other dependencies).
So you will have to compile Shipment.java and ShipmentHW1.java as well before running your java command. If they are in the same package, you're good, if not, you will have to specify an appropriate value for the -cp option.
When running java with a class name, you need to specify the fully qualified class name.
If your .java files are declared to be in the 'shipping' package, then you probably need to be running java from the parent directory of 'shipping', e.g.
cd <path>/shipping
javac TestShipment.java
cd ..
java shipping/TestShipment
I'm struggling trying to get remote actors setup in Scala. I'm running Scala 2.10.2 and Akka 2.2.1.
I compile using [I've shortened the paths on the classpath arg for clarity sake]:
$ scalac -classpath "akka-2.2.1/lib:akka-2.2.1/lib/scala-library.jar:akka-2.2.1/lib/akka:akka-2.2.1/lib/akka/scala-reflect-2.10.1.jar:akka-2.2.1/lib/akka/config-1.0.2.jar:akka-2.2.1/lib/akka/akka-remote_2.10-2.2.1.jar:akka-2.2.1/lib/akka/akka-kernel_2.10-2.2.1.jar:akka-2.2.1/lib/akka/akka-actor_2.10-2.2.1.jar:." [file.scala]
I've continuously added new libraries trying to debug this - I'm pretty sure all I really need to include is akka-remote, but the others shouldn't hurt.
No issues compiling.
I attempt to run like this:
$ scala -classpath "[same as above]" [application]
And I receive a NSM exception:
java.lang.NoSuchMethodException: akka.remote.RemoteActorRefProvider.<init>(java.lang.String, akka.actor.ActorSystem$Settings, akka.event.EventStream, akka.actor.Scheduler, akka.actor.DynamicAccess)
at java.lang.Class.getConstructor0(Class.java:2810)
at java.lang.Class.getDeclaredConstructor(Class.java:2053)
...
Looking into the source code, it appears that Akka 2.2.X's flavor of this constructor takes 4 arguments (the Scheduler is removed). But in Akka < 2.2.X, the constructor takes 5 args.
Thus, I'm thinking my classpath isn't setup quite right. At compile-time, Scala must be finding the <2.2.X flavor. I don't even know where it would be finding it, since I only have Akka 2.2.1 installed.
Any suggestions!? Thanks! (Please don't say to use SBT).
The problem here is that the Scala distribution contains akka-actor 2.1.0 and helpfully puts that in the boot class path for you. We very strongly recommend using a dependency manager like sbt or maven when building anything which goes beyond the most trivial projects.
As noted in another answer, the problem is that scala puts a different version of Akka into the bootclasspath.
To more directly answer your question (as you said you don't want to use sbt): you can execute your program with java instead of scala. You just have to put the appropriate Scala jars into the classpath.
Here is a spark-dev message about the problem. The important part is: "the workaround is to use java to launch the application instead of scala. All you need to do is to include the right Scala jars (scala-library and scala-compiler) in the classpath."
For whatever reason I had to change pc's as a result of the change I now have to use Java 6 (the final update) Instead of java 7. When importing my existing project to Java 6 I get the following error in my auto generated code that was generated by Netbeans and is not modifiable
cannot find symbol
symbol: variable Type
location: class Window
frame.setType(java.awt.Window.Type.POPUP); //Type is underlined
The output for the error is as follows:
javac: invalid target release: 1.7
Usage: javac <options> <source files>
use -help for a list of possible options
C:\Users\Adminstrator\Downloads\NetBeansProjects\NetBeansProjects\Pat0.3\nbproject\build-impl.xml:915: The following error occurred while executing this line:
C:\Users\Adminstrator\Downloads\NetBeansProjects\NetBeansProjects\Pat0.3\nbproject\build-impl.xml:268: Compile failed; see the compiler error output for details.
What does this do? Is it necessary, would deleting that the component help? Which component is it, is there a quick fix?
Your build.xml specifies the target="1.7" flag to javac, which java 6 doesn't know how to interpret. Changing it to 1.6 will technically get past that error.
However, the enum Window.Type was added in Java 7, so you simply can't expect changing the target to work; your project's source uses Java 7 features. I'm sure that's not the only one.
Your options are therefore to methodically go through and remove/replace all Java 7 code (likely introducing some bugs) or just to.. install Java 7.
There is somewhere in your project a setting for the java compiler that tells it to generate classes for jre7. javac from jdk6 cannot generate classes for that version, hence the error. So you should look into the properties of your project and set up javac to generate classes for jr6. You might also have fix some of your non-generated code if for example you have used features that came with java 7 such as diamond operator or multy catch block etc.
Also the javadoc for Window.Type states it is available only since 1.7. You might want to re-generate that code or better yet just install jdk7.
I have a java program that I'm required to compile into a Linux native program using gcj-4.3. This program requires serial port access. The javax.comm api provides serial port access but I'm not sure how to get my compiled java program to use it.
The target box has Java installed, but of course my compiled program isn't running in the JRE...so I'm not exactly sure how I can link in the comm.jar file or how that file can find the .properties file it requires.
I wonder if I can just compile the comm.jar allong with my .jar file and link the two object files together. Can my code then reference the classes in comm.jar?
Thanks in advance for your help!
I'm not an GCJ expert but I have some suggestions (I'm not providing the syntax, this will require some exploration that I didn't perform):
first, I think that you'll have to compile comm.jar into a (shared) library,
then, you'll have to link your code against the library,
finally, use the GCJ_PROPERTIES environment variable to pass properties to the program at invocation time.
The following pointers might be helpful to implement this:
GCJ---The GNU Compiler for Java (great resources IMO, covers all the steps mentioned above)
GCJ – Getting Started (more an intro but still nice)
Compile ActiveMQ with GCJ (more use cases but I don't think they apply here)
And of course, the official documentation :)
