Run time java jar file with jython exceptions - batch-file

Question

I have a big application that worked perfect inside eclipse, I create an executable jar file for my application, My application use jython to define some resources. Also I create `the following .bat file to run the file:
# echo off
java -Xms64m -Xmx512m -Xincgc -Dpython.home=jython-2.1 -Dpython.path=jython-2.1/Lib/alice -Djava.library.path=lib/win32;externalLib/win32; -jar MyProg23.jar
When execute the .bat file an exception appeared, this is a part of this exception:
java.lang.ExceptionInInitializerError

The vecmath.jar file and other external lib are founded inside a folder called externalLib which in the same folder of the Myprog23.jar and .bat files
How to solve the problem and what is need to be set?

Answer 1

You need to add all jars used in program to classpath. So, in your case all jars present in externalLib directory should be added in classpath.
For adding jars in classpath you may refer Setting multiple jars in java classpath

Answer 2

I am assuming that you have correctly set your CLASSPATH variable. Also assuming you have correctly installed JyThon. You should really make sure to TEST JyThon hello world OUTSIDE of your application environment as well. You need to take this step by step, Alice is a complex system, and so it is difficult to debug your issue without making sure basic structure of libraries is in place.
With these assumptions, you can proceed with JyThon documentation FAQ:
Jython cannot find your Java class, even though it exists in the class path.
Jython cannot find your Java class, even though it exists in the class
path. This shows up as "ImportError: cannot import name xxx" or
"AttributeError: java package xxx' has no attribute 'yyy'"
This happens when Jython is installed as a Java extension (i.e. when
jython.jar is installed in java\jre\lib\ext) and your classes are
installed in the classpath.
The reason is Java extensions can only see other extensions, not other
classes defined in the CLASSPATH or passed in to java using the
--classpath option.
There are two ways to fix this:
Move your classes to the java\jre\lib\ext directory.
Remove jython.jar from the java\jre\lib\ext directory and put
jython.jar in the CLASSPATH or use the java --classpath option.
