[Jython-users] java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/python/parser/ast/VisitorBase

[Phil <phi...@ho...>]

Hi all,

I'm a newbie to the world of Jython, and am already addicted to it.  
Alas, I've hit one problem which has me stumpted and Google has been no 
help.

I have developed a GUI using Swing in eclipse and it works fine from 
eclipse or by executing using the jython <filename> command.  However 
when I use jythonc to create a jar file for distribution, although no 
problems are reported the resulting jar will not execute (I've tried Mac 
OS X and Win XP - same result). I used the following command (a 
different error occurs if I use --core rather than --all).

jythonc --all --jar myjar.jar myjython.py

(On Windows I had to add -C <javac path> - but the result is the same)

Now my original version of my GUI worked no problem as a jar, since that 
I've implemented a generic extension of the JMenu class that 
automatically adds actionListeners and Keystrokes from a dictionary of 
object references and specifc keystrokes and added a few more Swing 
components.  However the fact that it runs in Eclipse leads me to 
believe that the new constructs I use are good and supported by Jython 
as it would be in Python.  I have also used an almost identical menu 
subclass in another program I've written no problem.

I've had a look at Jython's internal directory structure and the one 
thing that has struck me is that the 'ast' directory contains no 
build.xml file.  I believe these are used for building with Ant, but I'm 
out of my depth as far as my Java knowledge goes (I have a Python 
background and a basic grounding in Java).

I'm using Jython 2.2a1 and Java 1.5.

I'm at my whits end with this, so any help or pointers would be greatly 
appreicated - I can forward the code if needs be, but my own analysis 
suggests the issue is elsewhere.

Many thanks,

Phil.
