I downloaded the javafx from the homepage and I wish I could put into my classpath. So in Ubuntu I did this :


vi ~/.bashrc


opened the file and added the following lines :


JAVAFX_HOME=${HOME}/javafx/rt/lib/jfxrt.jar
export PATH=$PATH:$JAVAFX_HOME

provided that I have downloaded my JavaFx into my ${HOME}/javafx/ directory!

And I did this as well :

echo $PATH

which ouptputs :


/usr/lib/lightdm/lightdm:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games:/home/anto/javafx/rt/lib/jfxrt.jar


But when I run my JavaFx program using Groovy like this :

groovy HelloWorld.groovy

I get an error like this :

Caught: java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: javafx/application/Application
java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: javafx/application/Application
Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: javafx.application.Application


Where I went wrong? Kindly help me out. I'm facing this problem for a day!

The jfxrt.jar has to be part of the CLASSPATH and not PATH.

Thanks for the reply. So, can you say me how to setup the CLASSPATH in Ubuntu? Sorry, I'm very new to Ubuntu.

You can follow the same approach you used for PATH. Create a CLASSPATH variable and then export it.
Or you can try the -cp command line switch and mention the dependent jars,class files there. More details are in the link which Darryl provided.
