Re: [Py4j-users] Getting Started Trouble with the java jar file

[Barthelemy D. <ba...@cs...>]

Hi Dave,

I would need more information about the way you run your java program. Is it from an IDE, from the command line? What exact command are you using? Usually, when you run a java program, you can specify where to find the jar files with the -classpath option, e.g., java -classpath /path/to/py4j.jar fully.qualified.name.MainClass

I’ve put the jar file py4j0.7.jar (which I’m hoping contains the examples package which I also hope is the essential bit of this exercise) just about every place I can think of, including: a) where easy_install put it (C:\Python27\Lib\site-packages\py4j-0.7-py2.7.egg\share\py4j)  b) where the documentation said to put it (C:\Python27\share\py4j) c)  in the directory where I’m writing the java classes (D:\LocalArchives\My Dropbox\python\pythonJava) and d) in the directory where the other jar files are for my jdk install (C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_31\lib )
