Trying to run libGDX with Maven and Eclipse

Maybe a newbie question...
I've been working on a LWJGL project, where I use Maven to manage dependencies. In it, I want to use some parts of the libgdx library. So I figured I will first run at least a helloworld working with it before I add it to my main project.
So in my pom.xml I have this:
<!-- https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/com.badlogicgames.gdx/gdx-backend-lwjgl -->
<dependency>
<groupId>com.badlogicgames.gdx</groupId>
<artifactId>gdx-backend-lwjgl</artifactId>
<version>1.9.11</version>
<scope>test</scope>
</dependency>
<!-- https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/com.badlogicgames.gdx/gdx-platform -->
<dependency>
<groupId>com.badlogicgames.gdx</groupId>
<artifactId>gdx-platform</artifactId>
<version>1.9.11</version>
<scope>test</scope>
</dependency>
<!-- https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/com.badlogicgames.gdx/gdx -->
<dependency>
<groupId>com.badlogicgames.gdx</groupId>
<artifactId>gdx</artifactId>
<version>1.9.11</version>
</dependency>
The other contents of the file are the same as in a working project and are 100% working.
I tried creating a separate libgdx project before that and... it didn't work. But, I saw that the code that was supposed to run the program was:
public static void main (String[] arg) {
LwjglApplicationConfiguration config = new LwjglApplicationConfiguration();
new LwjglApplication(new SomeApplicationListenerFile(), config);
}
So I used that in my maven project.
When I do "run as a Java Application", the error is the following:
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: com/badlogic/gdx/backends/lwjgl/LwjglApplicationConfiguration
at org.boby.RayTracing.main.Main.main(Main.java:179)
And if I do a Maven Build, it tells me that "package com.badlogic.gdx.backends.lwjgl does not exist"
I looked for that package in the jars Maven downloaded in the "Maven dependencies" folder and I found it in gdx-backend-lwjgl-1.9.11.jar - right where it should be.
The package is apparently there, but Java cannot find it. How can I fix that?
Some additional information:
Windows 10, eclipse oxygen, Maven 3.6.0, JRE 1.8.0_191, JDK 8
Thank you in advance! I've been banging my head on this for hours.
Edit: I made some progress. Looks like the "test" was messing things up so I removed those statements. Now I get the following Error:
Exception in thread "main" com.badlogic.gdx.utils.GdxRuntimeException: Couldn't load shared library 'gdx64.dll' for target: Windows 10, 64-bit
at com.badlogic.gdx.utils.SharedLibraryLoader.load(SharedLibraryLoader.java:125)

at org.boby.RayTracing.main.Main.main(Main.java:178)
It looks like I need to include gdx-natives.jar in my dependencies, but I can't find a maven repository for it.

I downloaded gdx-natives.jar (saw it in a forum thread). In there, was a file named "gdx-64.dll". As I need "gdx64.dll", I just renamed the dll and now it runs.

You can let Maven do the work if you define the gdx-platform dep like this:
<dependency>
<groupId>com.badlogicgames.gdx</groupId>
<artifactId>gdx-platform</artifactId>
<version>1.9.11</version>
<classifier>natives-desktop</classifier>
</dependency>
This will load the natives jar including the gdx64.dll so you don't have to add any external jar to your project in the build path.
A side note is: if you use the standard Maven repo directory structure and you load assets with the Gdx.files.internal("fileName") statement you need to define a folder in the main/repository with the same name as the package you have your code in. (i.e. main/java/myPackage relates to /main/repository/myPackage). I struggled a bit with this because I don't normaly have to define a package folder int the repository dir.

Cannot instantiate the type ADBDataSource using axis2

After using Eclipse EE and Eclipse Axis2 Code Generator plugin, I got a two
operation generated java files with the same error:
Cannot instantiate the type ADBDataSource ConcatRequest.java
Cannot instantiate the type ADBDataSource ConcatResponse.java
Here is the problem:
org.apache.axiom.om.OMDataSource dataSource = new
org.apache.axis2.databinding.ADBDataSource(this,MY_QNAME);
This code appears in both ConcatRequest.java and ConcatResponse.java and
causes the error. I see that ADBDataSource is abstract and cannot be instantiated.
I'm totally new to Axis and I don't know how to solve this problem. Please help.

I had this problem due to a version mismatch of axis2-adb. Safest way to deal with this problem is to have a look at the lib folder of the eclipse plugin (eclipse/(dropins|plugins)/ ... .jar). Then look for the versions of the dependecies and include them (the ones you actually need) in your build path.

i faced the same issue while generating JAVA Stubs from WSDL. Following are the steps I used to solve the issues :
Follow the below link to generate Stubs : https://support.pcmiler.com/en/support/solutions/articles/19000053078-java-client-axis2-code-generator-for-eclipse.
Now there is a small tweak to this link. After doing point no 10 & 11 as mentioned in the above link , only use axis2-1.7.9 to generate your stubs and when they are generated used the jars mentioned in the \axis2-1.7.9\lib in your build path.
Hope this solves your issue.

Old topic, but I was working on a legacy project with several subprojects.
In one of those subprojects, I came across this same message.
It also was a version problem (Maven dependencies...).
Ctrl-Click (in Eclipse/IntelliJ) on "ADBDataSource". Which version is it? For me it was 1.5.6, but in my pom.xml there was only
<dependency>
<groupId>org.apache.axis2</groupId>
<artifactId>axis2</artifactId>
<version>1.7.4</version>
</dependency>
However, this subproject had a dependency on another subproject which WAS using 1.5.6 (I found it by searching in the whole project for "1.5.6" using the Notepad++ "Search / Find in Files" menu option).
Then in the dependency to that other project, I excluded 1.5.6 :
<dependency>
<groupId>com.group.id</groupId>
<artifactId>anotherproject</artifactId>
<version>version</version>
<exclusions>
<exclusion>
<groupId>org.apache.axis2</groupId>
<artifactId>axis2</artifactId>
</exclusion>
</exclusions>
</dependency>
After adding the exclusion, the project did use the 1.7.4 version.

Can't execute feature in cucumber jvm

I am very new to using cucumber (started today).
It seems simple enough but I am having issues running a basic feature.
Feature: Proof of concept that my framework works
Scenario: My first test
Given this is my first step
When this is my second step
Then this is my final step
I know there is no code for it to test, but I wanted it to return the fact that the scenarios are undefined.
I did some research and realised I had a .jar file which was unnecessary, I have since removed that.
I still have the following issue:
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: gherkin/lexer/Encoding
Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: gherkin.lexer.Encoding
There some more info from the exception.
Is there any other info I should provide?
Any help would be appreciated

I had this same problem when running through the First Steps chapter in The Cucumber for Java book.
It says to download the latest version of the Gherkin jar (among others) from
http://repo1.maven.org/maven2/info/cukes/gherkin/
Below is the listing, where, on the webpage, each one is a directory-link containing the jar. My mistake was thinking that the bottom-most version is the most recent version. It's not. For all of the other jars, the bottom-most is indeed the most recent version.
When using the bottom-most Gherkin jar, I get the CNFX exactly as you describe:
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: gherkin/lexer/Encoding
Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: gherkin.lexer.Encoding
The version-number listing, as on the above webpage:
2.10.0/
2.11.0/
2.11.1/
2.11.2/
2.11.4/
2.11.5/
2.11.6/
2.11.7/
2.11.8/
2.12.0/
2.12.1/
2.12.2/
2.4.16/
2.4.17/
2.4.18/
2.4.19/
2.4.20/
2.4.21/
2.5.0/
2.5.1/
2.5.2/
2.5.3/
2.5.4/
2.6.0/
2.6.1/
2.6.2/
2.6.3/
2.6.4/
2.6.5/
2.6.6/
2.6.7/
2.6.8/
2.6.9/
2.7.0/
2.7.1/
2.7.2/
2.7.3/
2.7.4/
2.7.5/
2.7.6/
2.7.7/
2.8.0/
2.9.0/
2.9.1/
2.9.2/
2.9.3/

Make sure you have the cucumber java libraries in your CLASSPATH.

Its an setup issue as it is not finding the required cucumber classes to interpret gherkin statements.
Provide more info on the files you included in the setup.

Rather than downloading individual jars, use a package manager to download the dependencies.
Using Maven, add the following dependencies to the pom.xml:
<dependency>
<groupId>io.cucumber</groupId>
<artifactId>cucumber-java</artifactId>
<version>2.3.1</version>
<scope>test</scope>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>io.cucumber</groupId>
<artifactId>cucumber-junit</artifactId>
<version>2.3.1</version>
<scope>test</scope>
</dependency>
NB. This is currently the latest version.
Make sure to use the same version for all Cucumber dependencies.

java.lang.NoSuchFieldError: org.apache.http.message.BasicLineFormatter.INSTANCE from Mashape Unirest in Java application

I have a Maven Java project that uses Mashape Unirest for sending HTTP requests to other URLs. I am currently writing an integration test (using TestNG) that sends a normal HTTP request using Unirest. When I run the integration test through Maven (via the Failsafe plugin), the request is sent out successfully. However, when I try to run the integration test via Eclipse, I keep on getting the following error:

I am also able to reproduce this error using a basic Java application script.
I have made sure that the dependencies I am using in my pom.xml file are the latest and greatest, as seen below:
<dependency>
<groupId>com.mashape.unirest</groupId>
<artifactId>unirest-java</artifactId>
<version>1.3.5</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.apache.httpcomponents</groupId>

</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.apache.httpcomponents</groupId>
<artifactId>httpcore</artifactId>
<version>4.3.2</version>
</dependency>
I have also checked out the source code of BasicLineFormatter.java, both from the source file downloaded to Eclipse and from Apache's Httpcore Github repo. In the Github repo, notice how the INSTANCE field is defined for the 4.3.x branch and the trunk branch, but not in older branches like 4.2.x. However, I am indeed using version 4.3.2 in my project, so I should be using a JAR file for Httpcore that has the latest version of BasicLineFormatter. I know that, based on the Maven Dependencies JAR files that are in my project, that I am indeed using the latest versions of these Apache dependencies, not the older versions specified as downstream dependencies of my project.
I have checked other various SOF and blog posts about this issue, such as Mashape Unirest Java : java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError and this blog post too, but they all seem to be talking about solving the NoSuchFieldError problem for Android. However, I'm dealing with a standalone Java application, not an Android application.
I am at a loss in determining how to troubleshoot this issue. Anyone have any idea what I need to do?
UPDATE
Instead of showing my test case, I will reduce the illustration of a reproduction of this problem to just a simple one-liner Java application, because the problem exists with any Java application or test case run through Eclipse, not just one particular test:
System.out.println(Unirest.get("http://www.google.com").asStringAsync().get().getBody());
Normally, this should print the HTML of the Google home page, but I instead get the NoSuchFieldError stack trace.
FIXED!
The problem was that the AWS SDK (it's on my classpath because I'm developing for Elastic Beanstalk) had a conflicting JAR file. Using Oleg's solution (thanks BTW), I printed the following output in a unit test:
jar:file:/some/path/aws-java-sdk/1.7.1/third-party/httpcomponents-client-4.2.3/httpcore-4.2.jar!/org/apache/http/message/BasicLineFormatter.class
I'll have to rearrange my classpath so that AWS SDK is no longer conflicting.

The only plausible explanation to this problem is there is an older version of HttpCore on the classpath (unless you also want to consider a possibility of green men from Mars messing with your computer remotely from a flying saucer).
You can add this snippet to your code to find out what jar the class gets picked up from. This might help find out why that jar is on your classpath in the first place.
ClassLoader classLoader = MyClass.class.getClassLoader();
URL resource = classLoader.getResource("org/apache/http/message/BasicLineFormatter.class");
System.out.println(resource);
This basically tells me that in my case the jar resides in the local maven repository and likely to have been added to the classpath by Maven
jar:file:/home/oleg/.m2/repository/org/apache/httpcomponents/httpcore/4.3.1/httpcore-4.3.1.jar!/org/apache/http/message/BasicLineFormatter.class

As already mentioned by previous comments, It's mainly because of the conflicting versions of httpcore jar, the static field INSTANCE is been added to BasicLineFormatter class in versions > 4.3.1, Though you might have added the latest version of the httpcore jar in your dependencies, but its highly possible that other (lower) version of jar is getting picked up.
So, first to confirm that, wrong jar is getting picked up, Use the following line of code -
ClassLoader classLoader = <Your Class>.class.getClassLoader();
URL resource = classLoader.getResource("org/apache/http/message/BasicLineFormatter.class");
System.out.println(resource);
If this prints, the lower version of the jar, then it's confirmed that it's picking the lower version of the httpcore jar (May be from other dependencies of your project),
Solution -
Add following maven/gradle dependencies at the top of dependency list (Or above the other project dependency which caused the conflict) -
<dependency>
<groupId>com.mashape.unirest</groupId>
<artifactId>unirest-java</artifactId>
<version>1.4.5</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.apache.httpcomponents</groupId>
<artifactId>httpcore</artifactId>
<version>4.4.1</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.apache.httpcomponents</groupId>
<artifactId>httpclient</artifactId>
<version>4.4.1</version>
</dependency>

I faced the same exception using unirest:
java.lang.NoSuchFieldError: INSTANCE
at org.apache.http.impl.io.DefaultHttpRequestWriterFactory.<init>(DefaultHttpRequestWriterFactory.java:52)
at com.mashape.unirest.http.options.Options.refresh(Options.java:55)
at com.mashape.unirest.http.options.Options.<clinit>(Options.java:36)
And found it was due to DefaultConnectionKeepAliveStrategy.INSTANCE; and the conflicting jar was apache-httpcomponents-httpclient.jar in my classpath. Adding this post to help anyone who faces similar exception

I got this Exception: Caused by: java.lang.NoSuchFieldError: INSTANCE
Solution:
This happens if you have two different version classes in your classpath…. […], So I first find that class (one version of class), click that class, select build path, then I click remove from build path.

if you are using aws sdk this error occurs because of dependency mismatch.
To avoid this error do the following:
1.Put the dependecies in the required order aws sdk and the end preferably
2.Add shade plugin to the project
This solved my problem

you can refer to my answer in
HTTPClient Example - Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoSuchFieldError: INSTANCE
my case is i have httpclient-4.4.1.jar, and httpcore-4.4.1.jar in my class path, but JVM loaded BasicLineFormatter from httpcore-4.0.jar

How to make jogl work with intellij idea

I've looked around and I can't seem to figure this out. I'm trying to setup JOGL(on win64) for use with IntelliJ IDEA and it doesn't seem to work no matter what I do. Here's what I've done so far:
Downloaded this
Moved all of these files into their own folder(called JOGL):
gluegen-rt.jar
jogl-all.jar
gluegen-java-src.zip
jogl-java-src.zip
gluegen-rt.dll
jogl_desktop.dll
nativewindow_awt.dll
nativewindow_win32.dll
newt.dll
Went to Project structure and added the JOGL folder to the module as a library
Attempted to run the module with the import: import net.java.games.jogl.*; added
I also attempted to run the line of code System.loadLibrary("jogl"); without using the import, and it didn't work. Any help is appreciated.
These are the guides I was following:
http://jogamp.org/wiki/index.php/Downloading_and_installing_JOGL
http://jogamp.org/wiki/index.php/Setting_up_a_JogAmp_project_in_your_favorite_IDE
Edit:
As per CrazyCoder's request, when I attempt to compile with the import net.java.games.jogl.*; that I mentioned, I get:
java: C:\....\Main.java:2: package net.java.games.jogl does not exist
When I remove the import and attempt to run it with the System.loadLibrary("jogl"); line inserted, I get:
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: no jogl in java.library.path
at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadLibrary(ClassLoader.java:1738)
at java.lang.Runtime.loadLibrary0(Runtime.java:823)
at java.lang.System.loadLibrary(System.java:1028)
at core.Main.main(Main.java:15)
Strangely, when I try to run it on the command line with the command java -cp "/cygdrive/c/apps/JOGL/" core.Main I get:
java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: core/Main
Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: core.Main
at java.net.URLClassLoader$1.run(URLClassLoader.java:202)
at java.security.AccessController.doPrivileged(Native Method)

at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClass(ClassLoader.java:306)
at sun.misc.Launcher$AppClassLoader.loadClass(Launcher.java:301)
at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClass(ClassLoader.java:247)
Could not find the main class: core.Main. Program will exit.
Exception in thread "main"
Where if I don't run it with the -cp "/cygdrive/c/apps/JOGL/", it works fine (as in, actually runs and gives me the same results as the IDE, but also fails in the same ways).
Below is a screenshot of my module's dependencies(JOGL is what I mentioned it was above):
I tried to separate everything to make it more readable, sorry if it's difficult to follow.

If you're using IDEA it would make sense to do this as a maven project since IDEA has great maven support. Just paste the dependencies into your pom.xml they are available from maven central:
<dependencies>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.jogamp.gluegen</groupId>
<artifactId>gluegen-rt-main</artifactId>
<version>2.0.2</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.jogamp.jogl</groupId>
<artifactId>jogl-all-main</artifactId>
<version>2.0.2</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.jogamp.jocl</groupId>
<artifactId>jocl</artifactId>
<version>2.0.2</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.jogamp.jocl</groupId>
<artifactId>jocl-main</artifactId>
<version>2.0.2</version>
</dependency>
<!-- audio -->
<dependency>
<groupId>org.jogamp.joal</groupId>
<artifactId>joal</artifactId>
<version>2.0.2</version>
</dependency>
</dependencies>
This is what I use when playing with JOGL and it works a treat.

Just put jogl-all.jar and gluegen-rt.jar into your classpath and put the JARs containing the native libraries into the same directory. net.java.games.jogl comes from JOGL JSR 231 (an extremely old version) which isn't maintained anymore whereas you downloaded JOGL 2. Adapt your code to make it work with JOGL 2.
Edit.: Now you can use a single JAR, jogamp-far.jar. Just put it into your classpath and it works. It's a lot easier. The instructions are in our wiki.
