Hi Tobias,
Thank you for an early reply.
To reflect what I am working on, and how I set my path,classpath I am attaching the contents of my file "pather.bat". It does have the classpath set to the multiple .jar files. Please check through it. I have copied the Directory location from windows icon right click-properties and then the name. So I am doubly sure I have not misspelt any dir names or file names this time.
I then CD to the directory pmd-1.8\etc> and then issue a
"run F:\amit.t\java_profilers\PMD\pmd-1.8\etc\TestHprof.java xml/text rulesets/basic.xml" command.
It still gives me the same error message as below:
=============================================================
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: javax/xml/parsers/DocumentBuilderFactory
at net.sourceforge.pmd.RuleSetFactory.createRuleSet(RuleSetFactory.java:100)

at net.sourceforge.pmd.RuleSetFactory.createRuleSet(RuleSetFactory.java:78)
at net.sourceforge.pmd.PMD.main(PMD.java:108)
============================================================
where I have placed the required java file in the pmd-1.8\etc folder (for convinience) I even tried moving the java file to F:\ (root) and issued a command "run F:\TestHprof.java xml rulesets/basic.xml" and I still get the same error message.
If you can, please go through the pather.bat file below, which illustrates my original path/classpath, how I set my path/classpath and other environment variables like PMD_HOME and the final path/classpath.
If I have set the correct classpaths, and path, and it still doesnt work,
could it have a problem with the xerces...jar files. They are a standard distribution from the website. I have downloaded the binary pmd-bin-1.8.zip file worth 4MB and it is for Windows platform. (I am sure it wouldn't have worked , if it was for a Unix platform)
Following are the contents of my "pather.bat" file
==========================================================================

REM system boots. I cannot set environment variables from

I did try to provide exact data reflecting my environment on the OS that I use (Win 2000 Professional). I hope it helps you for some "troubleshooting" !!!
