[kepler-dev] Reg. problem running kepler

[Matthew Brooke]

Hi Siva -

Don't want to step on Christopher's toes, but I know he's busy, and I 
don't think this is a Ptolemy problem, so here goes...

I don't use Eclipse, but have seen similar problems with JBuilder. The 
error message about "could not parse the argument '-kepler'" is 
typically misleading, since the real cause is often something entirely 
different, and you have to look further down the stacktrace for the real 
problem. In your case, I see this:

  "...Caused by:
  java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.kepler.gui.LibraryPaneFactory..."

- so I'd check that org.kepler.gui.LibraryPaneFactory is indeed present 
in your source directory, and has been compiled successfully to your 
build directory, and that the build destination is on Eclipse's classpath.

(Since you had some manifest files missing, it sounds like you may have 
an incomplete checkout of the kepler tree, so it would be worth 
checking, if you didn't already)


Other problems like this have been caused for me by:

1)  not having the configuration files in the IDE classpath, too. My 
current classpath additions for config files and other resources are as 
follows:

/Users/brooke/dev/KEPLER/kepler
/Users/brooke/dev/KEPLER/kepler/lib
/Users/brooke/dev/KEPLER/kepler/lib/images
/Users/brooke/dev/KEPLER/kepler/configs

Try adding those in Eclipse if you didn't already

2) by the (yourHomeDirectory)/.kepler directory being corrupt/out of 
date/otherwise wrong. To fix this, you can delete the 
(yourHomeDirectory)/.kepler directory, the kepler/build directory, and 
also the kepler/kar directory, and then do an "ant buildkarlib run-dev"

Good luck!

As given in the documentation, 'using eclipse to build kepler', I gve arguments as -kepler and vm arguments as -Dkepler and -DPTII etc and chose PTII's vergilApplication as main class. But when I run, it produced some errors saying , it could not parse the argument '-kepler'. In fact, the error happens for any argument and no argument cases.
