swt and gtk problem

[ttn]

Hi,

I am using a separately downloaded Eclipse 3M5 on a Debian woody
(stable) system. To make Eclipse start at all I had to use the libgtk2
libraries from some backported gnome 2.2 to get a gtk version >=2.0.6
(now, its 2.2.2).

Now Eclipse runs perfectly (so I have at least one swt app working) as
about any Java application I wrote with it (none using swt).

Now, I want to learn to do stuff with swt and I try to let the
following program run using the swt.jar that came with eclipse:

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
import org.eclipse.swt .widgets.*;

public class Hello {
public static void main(String[] args) {
MessageBox m = new MessageBox(new Shell());
m.setMessage("H ello, World");
m.open();
}
}
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

It compiles good, but as I try to run it, I get the following error:

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

javac -classpath /var/local/java-lib/swt.jar Hello.java
java -classpath /var/local/java-lib/swt.jar:. -D/var/local/java-lib/swt.jar Hello

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoCla ssDefFoundError :

at Hello.main(Hell o.java:5)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

I suppose there is a problem in finding the right gtk library or
something.

I googled a lot about that but couldn't find anything useful. Any
ideas?

Thankful for help,

TTN

OK for the first part (putting swt.jar in classpath), but you are
missing that swt-something-something.so (or .dll on windows), SWT needs
it, so the remedy to your problem is adding
-Djava.library.p ath:/path/where/that/library/file/is or attaching that
path to your LD_LIBRARY_PATH env variable (or PATH on windows).
Cheers!
