SQL Power Software Forum

Hi,

I downloaded wabit-generic-1.1.1.tar.gz and unpacked the file, but when I run

java -jar wabit.jar

on the commandline (or double-click the file) I get the following exception:

Sounds like a packaging problem

Hi castorp,

Thanks for reporting this. We're working on it.

Cheers!

I just downloaded wabit.jar and have this same problem.

There is no ca/sqlpower/util/UserPrompterFactory.class

Is that the problem?

I am rusty running java from the command line. Here is what I tried:

Could not find the main class: ca.sqlpower.wabit.

Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks,

In the generic distribution, there are two included folders. 'jdbc' and 'lib' Those two folders must be present beside the wabit.jar file.

Are they there?

That fixed my problem.

Thanks for the quick reply.

When I extracted wabi.jar I did so in a directory containing a lot of files and failed to notice the lib.jar and odbc.jar files that were part of the extraction.

(Suggest you might consider making your tarball be a directory so that it extracts to a directory, i.e.: sqlpower/wabit.jar, sqlpower/lib.ar, sqlpower/odbc.jar.)
