Docx4j compilation error

[Logod]

Hi,

I tried to compile this simple code, but I have a compilation error.

Code: Select all

import org.docx4j.openpackaging.packages.WordprocessingMLPackage;

public class CreateWordprocessingMLDocument {
   
   public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {               
      WordprocessingMLPackage wordMLPackage = WordprocessingMLPackage.createPackage();      
   }
   
}

Eclipse gives me:

Code: Select all

For Docx4j installation, I followed this guide
http://dev.plutext.org/svn/docx4j/trunk ... arted.html

I use:
- jdk-6u20
- docx4j-2.5.0.jar (I tried also with the nightly build, I have the same error message)
- log4j-1.2.15.jar

The OS is windows XP SP3 and Eclipse is “Helios” build id: 20100617-1415.

For log4j I use a « log4.properties » file.

I search on google for « java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError ». I found lots of topics but I didn’t understand how to apply them to Docx4j.

Maybe I only miss a step in the "GettingStarted" tutorial.

Thanks for your help.

That's the parent pointer plugin jar its complaining about.

docx4j's dependencies are listed in its pom.xml, and also in build.xml. I think its the Maven related steps you missed (did you install m2eclipse?)

You can find the jars in http://dev.plutext.org/docx4j/docx4j-2.5.0/

Hi,

No, m2eclipse was not installed.

So I install m2eclipse.
I folowed the video instruciton here :
http://m2eclipse.sonatype.org/installing-m2eclipse.html

And I had all the jar dependencies from this directory http://dev.plutext.org/docx4j/docx4j-2.5.0/

Now, it’s working perfecly, I can generate docx.

If I can make a remark. I am not a programmer (I learn by myself) and when I read the "GettingStarted" tutorial I think the dependencies was required only for build Docx4j from source.

Thank you very much for your quick answer and for your help.

No, projects often require supporting jars. Docx4j is no exception.

The "Using docx4j binaries" section does mention this.

I probably made your life more difficult by assuming you were building from source - sorry about that!

Yes, but your API is very easy to use and save me lots of time. Thanks for your hard work.
