Troubleshooting
Problem
As packaged, JarClassFinder cannot be used with Rational Application Developer (RAD) version 7.x
Cause
This is due to a difference in the Eclipse plug-in architecture between RAD 6.x (Eclipse 3.0.2) and RAD 7.x (Eclipse 3.2.1)
Resolving The Problem
Here is an updated JarClassFinder for RAD7.
- Copy this jar file (
) to your
<RAD-INSTALL-DIR>\plugins\ directory.
<RAD-INSTALL-DIR> is where Eclipse.exe exists.This is NOT the SDP70Shared folder.
- Delete any old jarclassfinder directories you might have copied to that directory in the past.
- Start a command-line prompt, navigate to the <RAD-INSTALL-DIR> directory, where "eclipse.exe" is located.
- Start RAD with the "-clean" parameter : eclipse.exe -clean
---------------------------------------------------
Alternatively, use the JarClassFinder. 2.0.1 version available at
http://alphaworks.ibm.com/tech/jarclassfinder/download
- Extract the contents of the JarClassFinder.zip.
You will see 2 unzipped directories -- "license" and "plugins".
- Copy the com.ibm.wpst.hursley.jarclassfinder_2.0.3 folder in the unzipped "plugins" directory to your
<RAD-INSTALL-DIR>\plugins\ directory.
<RAD-INSTALL-DIR> is where Eclipse.exe exists.This is NOT the SDP70Shared folder.
- Start a command-line prompt, navigate to the <RAD-INSTALL-DIR> directory, where "eclipse.exe" is located.
- Start RAD with the "-clean" parameter : eclipse.exe -clean
---------------------------------------------------
After RAD starts, you should be able to find the button for the JarClassFinder on the Toolbar:
If you do not see the JarClassFinder icon on the Toolbar, go to
Window > Show View > Other ... > Other (expand) > Jar Class Finder View:
