Testing the "printer" example in java?

env: windows xp, jdk5.0, eclipse3.1, apache-ant-1.6.4
Ice-2.1.1(vc71)
steps:
1, do what the "readme.txt" said, and run printer example in the demoj folder.

---

ok
2 , create two projects-"client" and "server" in eclipse,copy the source code
correctlly,add the "Ice.jar" into projects, run in eclipse...

---

ok, the server printed "Hello World!"
3, create the jar file using eclipse-export tool, and i get "server.jar" whose MANIFEST.MF points the right mainclass and the jar does not contain the
Ice.lib

---

ok
4, in the cmd window, enter the right dir, "java -jar .\server.jar",run...

---

wrong, "Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: Ice/Object"

question: it seems that i can not find Ice/Object class, but all envs has been configed correctlly followed by "readme.txt",why please?

The Ice.Object class is included in the Ice.jar file. I'm not very familiar with eclipse and its export tool but if this class isn't found this means that the Ice.jar is most likely not in your CLASSPATH.

This might help

Hi ,
I think that you must have found the solution by now but I think that you have yet to add the ice jar file.
This can be done by right clicking the Project on the Navigator window of Eclipse3.1 and going to properties. select java Build path and then select the Libraries Tab.
There the jar file can be added either through "Add Jars" or "Add External Jars" and add the Ice.jar
