Error while launching jnlp file

[Navaneetha krishnan]

Friends,

I have a simple SWT application (helloworld appln). I tried to make use of Java Web start for that application. I wrote a .jnlp file and when i execute it, it throws the following error:

java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/eclipse/swt/widgets/Composite

at java.lang.Class.getDeclaredMethods0(Native Method)

at java.lang.Class.privateGetDeclaredMethods(Unknown Source)

at java.lang.Class.getMethod0(Unknown Source)

at java.lang.Class.getMethod(Unknown Source)

at com.sun.javaws.Launcher.handleLaunchFile(Unknown Source)

at com.sun.javaws.Launcher.run(Unknown Source)

at java.lang.Thread.run(Unknown Source)



I have signed all the related jar files properly. Every time i try to run the Java web start application, it throws some error. I have searched many forums and I do not find an answer that solves my answer.

Here is my jnlp file:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<jnlp spec="1.0+" codebase="http://localhost/test/helloswt" href="helloswt.jnlp">
<information>
<title>Java Web Start demo!</title>

</resources>


<application-desc main-class="com.abc.swt.examples.SWTLabel">
</application-desc>

</jnlp>


Please help.

Thanks & Regards,

Guys,

I tried a lot of combinations and I found out the solution myself!! Thought of sharing the same for someone who might hit at a similar error. I removed the unused jar file entries from the jnlp file and modified the jnlp like this:

<resources>
<j2se version="1.3+"/>
<jar href="test.jar"/>
<jar href="plugins/org.eclipse.swt.win32.win32.x86_3.1.1.jar" />
</resources>

<resources os="Windows">
<nativelib href="plugins/org.eclipse.swt.win32.win32.x86_3.1.1.jar"/>
</resources>


This worked without any issue. I am still not sure how this worked. But it is working

Thanks for the support.
