CATS opens but not Designer

#cats

Scott Rose All Messages By This Member #169166 Hi, I have a working JMRI system and have copied the CATS files into c:\program files (x86)\jmri. ? I have also placed log4j.jar into the same directory. Both 32 & 64 bit versions of java have been installed and I have tried configuring designer.bat to use either version (not at the same time).? Using java 8 update 241. I am able to open CAT using cats.bat but I get the following error when starting designer. ? I'm starting this from the directory itself rather than from an icon on the desktop.? I have checked the cats and designer documents but may have missed something. ? If anyone could assist, it would be appreciated.? Thank you C:\Program Files (x86)\JMRI>designer C:\Program Files (x86)\JMRI>java -Djava.ext.dirs=lib -Dsun.java2d.noddraw -cp designer.jar designer.gui.Ctc Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/jdom/Content ??????? at designer.gui.Ctc.<init>(Ctc.java:151) ??????? at designer.gui.Ctc.main(Ctc.java:439) Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.jdom.Content ??????? at java.net.URLClassLoader.findClass(Unknown Source) ??????? at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClass(Unknown Source) ??????? at sun.misc.Launcher$AppClassLoader.loadClass(Unknown Source) ??????? at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClass(Unknown Source) ??????? ... 2 more C:\Program Files (x86)\JMRI>"C:\Program Files (x86)\JMRI\LaunchJMRI.exe" designer.gui.Ctc C:\Program Files (x86)\JMRI> Designer.bat file :: This bat file has 5 different commands for launching designer.?

Bob Jacobsen All Messages By This Member #169176 This probably indicates one or more .jar file that Designer needs is missing. There are several versions of the JDOM tool. JMRI currently uses version 2, but it used to use version 1. This looks like Designer is looking for version 1. The current file is lib/jdom2-2.0.6.jar Designer might be looking for lib/jdom.jar If that’s the case, you can find a copy on this page: Bob On Feb 6, 2020, at 9:52 PM, scott.rose@... wrote: C:\Program Files (x86)\JMRI>designer C:\Program Files (x86)\JMRI>java -Djava.ext.dirs=lib -Dsun.java2d.noddraw -cp designer.jar designer.gui.Ctc Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/jdom/Content at designer.gui.Ctc.<init>(Ctc.java:151) at designer.gui.Ctc.main(Ctc.java:439) Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.jdom.Content -- Bob Jacobsen rgj1927@...
rodneyblack2000 All Messages By This Member #169181 Scott, What version of Windows are you using?? It should not matter (because designer does not use JMRI), but what version of JMRI are you using? designer needs only 2 libraries outside of the standard Java libraries - jdom and log4j.? It appears that Java is not finding the jdom libraries, which exist because JMRI runs.? I have seen this a few times and don't know the cause.? On a Windows 7 Pro system, I got around the problem by creating a folder and added the designer .jar, .bat, and a sub-folder, named lib, containing the jdom and log4j .jar files from the JMRI lib folder.? I eventually expanded the jdom file by renaming it .zip and extracted the contents (via a right click and extract).? That worked.? I don't know the root cause, but I suspect it had something to do with the Windows settings on the files or folders - perhaps permissions. The .bat file that you posted tries to run designer twice - once by invoking Java directly and the second by going through the JMRI launcher, using designer.jar as the main file.? Since JMRI runs, the latter should also run, except it may not get the chance because the first failed.? Be sure you have commented out the first with the ::. Rodney
Scott Rose All Messages By This Member #169186 Thank you Bob, Just what the Doctor ordered. Have copied the jdom.jar to jmri/lib and everything works perfectly. Regards Scott Rose
Scott Rose All Messages By This Member #169187 Hi Rodney, I'm using Windows 10 and JMRI 4.19.2.? The issue has been resolved by Bobs suggestion above of copying the jdom.jar file to jmri/lb. Thanks for your response. Regards Scott Rose
Randall Wood #169209 Note that Bob’s suggested fix will need to be redone every time you upgrade JMRI. A better fix may be to keep jdom.jar outside of lib and add ‘--cp:p=“C:\path\to\jdom.jar”’ to the launcher for Designer since this will survive upgrades of JMRI. See for more information on that.
