Java 3d error when running application from .jar

Hello when i am running my application from Eclipse it runs perfectly but when i export it as a runnable jar, it doesn't run.
When i try running it from cmd it gives me one of 2 errors the first errror is after i just export it with the "copy required libraries into a sub-folder":
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: no j3dcore-ogl in java.library.path

when i change the sub-folder's name from IslandDomination_lib to just lib it gives me another error:
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: javax/media/j3d/Canvas3D
at Main.Main.main(Main.java:6)

I have tried running it several ways:
1.
java.exe -jar IslandDomination.jar
2.
java.exe -cp "lib/j3dcore.jar;lib/j3dutils.jar;lib/vecmath.jar" -jar IslandDomination.jar
3. using another java program to run it for me:
package main;
import java.io.File;
import java.io.IOException;
public class Main {
public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException, InterruptedException{
ProcessBuilder pb = new ProcessBuilder(System.getProperty("java.home")+"\\bin\\java.exe", "-cp" , "\"lib/j3dcore.jar;lib/j3dutils.jar;lib/vecmath.jar\"" , "-jar" , "IslandDomination.jar");
pb.directory(new File("./"));
Process p = pb.start();
p.waitFor();
}
}
The internal structure of my jar consists of 4 folders:
J3DBool
Main
Maths
META-INF
The folder with the required jars is in the same folder as the main jar

You use a completely obsolete version of Java3D, which is very difficult to bundle in any software as you have to set the Java library path somehow and you have to bundle both the Java libraries and the native libraries. Rather rebuild your project with Java3D 1.6.0 pre 12, it's a lot easier to use as this version relies on JOGL 2 which uses automatic native library loading and everything is packaged as JARs, there is no longer any need of modifying the library path, just take care of the classpath.
Please follow my tutorial, especially the very last section with (a lot) more information.
Finally, the obsolete version that you use isn't guaranteed to work on any recent operating systems. If it works, you'll be lucky; if it doesn't, nobody will fix it.

I think the required library file (jar file) not found in the classpath.
you need to set Library file in your class path.
step to set class path:-
MyComputer->Properties->Advanced system setting->Environment variables
find "classpath" either in user variables area or in system variables if found edit that and put all the jar file link. if not found then create new(click on new) and put all the jar link there and try to run your application

I found out how to fix my problem and it is done by simply putting the needed dll files next to the executable jar file

java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError at Runtime: Need Class not on Classpath

I have tried several approaches as suggested on this website as well as several others to no avail.
-Running Angstrom embedded Linux, OpenJDK6, Shark VM.
File Structure
All .java and .jar files are stored in directory ./src
jarfiles: j1.jar j2.jar
Source code: Coder.java, WrapperClass.java
Compiling and Running
javac -cp j1.jar:j2.jar Coder.java WrapperClass.java
Successfully compiles, outputs Coder.class, WrapperClass.class, as well as several other files including Coder$1.class through Coder$6.class, as well as Coder$Main_thread.class and Coder$Progress_Bar_Thread.class, any insight onto what all these .class files are for?
Run attempts all terminate in java.lang.ClassNotFoundException.
~/coder/src: java Package.Coder
~/coder/src: java -cp jar1.jar:jar2.jar Package.Coder
~/coder: java ./src/Package.Coder
~/coder: java -cp jar1.jar:jar2.jar ./src/Package.Coder
Thank you very much for your help. I have run this on NetBeans and can verify that it's functional code, just a matter of getting it to run on Linux.
Stacktrace is:
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: Package/Coder Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: Package.Coder

at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClassInternal(ClassLoader.java:334)
Could not find the main class: Package.Coder. Program will exit

Assuming this structure
/coder
/src
/Package
/Coder.java
/WrapperClass.java
/j1.jar
/j2.jar
You will need to compile from /src as
javac -cp j1.jar:j2.jar Package/Coder.java Package/WrapperClass.java
This will create .class files in /Package. You can then run it, again from /src as
java -cp j1.jar:j2.jar Package.Coder
assuming the Coder class has a main method which is your entry point.

Java Execute Jar-File NullPointerException when updateLayoutState

i exported my java programm to an executable JAR-File.
When i now run this JAR-File:
java -jar myFile.jar
this Exception appears:
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NullPointerException
at javax.swing.JList$4.getSize(Unknown Source)
at javax.swing.plaf.basic.BasicListUI.updateLayoutState(Unknown Source)
at javax.swing.plaf.basic.BasicListUI.maybeUpdateLayoutState(Unknown Source)
at javax.swing.plaf.basic.BasicListUI.getPreferredSize(Unknown Source)
....
Never saw this before and havent found a solution yet.
What is actually happening here and how can i solve this problem?

It doesn't seems to be a packaging related issue. It looks more like there is a JList not properly initialized - e.g. like if you passed null as the array in the constructor. So check your code...

Procedure:
Expand the jar in exactly the same location as the jar as a directory, say, ExpDir.
Run the main class using -cp ExpDir and main class. Use the same current directory, JVM, and everything else.
If the program now works (1% probability, in my experience), comment on this on the question. Also, confirm that you are not inadvertently changing something else.
If it does not (99% probability), correct the programming error and/or ask a different question appropriate to the error.

exception in thread 'main' java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError

When I try to execute the following program from DOS I get the results below..
The following program is in C:\Users\Apostolos\Documents\NetBeansProjects\Java1\src\java1
package java1;
public class MyProgram{
public static void main(String[] args){
System.out.println("Rome wasn’t burned in a day!");
}
}
javac MyProgram.java
works fine
But java MyProgram gives the following:
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: MyProgram (wrong name
: java1/MyProgram)

at java.lang.ClassLoader.defineClass(Unknown Source)
at java.security.SecureClassLoader.defineClass(Unknown Source)
at java.net.URLClassLoader.defineClass(Unknown Source)
................
Why this is happening??
My environment variables:
CLASSPATH: .;C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre7\lib\ext\QTJava.zip;C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_05\bin
PATH: C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_05\bin
JAVA_HOME: C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_05
I have seen similar problems here but i cannot find the solution to my problem.
Thank you in advance!

This is caused when there is a class file that your code depends on and it is present at compile time but not found at runtime. Look for differences in your build time and runtime classpaths.
Refer this Link

2 points you should keep in mind when using java tool:
Add the class to the classpath.
Use the fully qualified name of the class to be run.
Hence:
java -cp C:\Users\Apostolos\Documents\NetBeansProjects\Java1\bin java1.MyProgram
assuming the following file exists after compilation:
C:\Users\Apostolos\Documents\NetBeansProjects\Java1\bin\java1\MyProgram.class
For more info, see:
Mastering the Java CLASSPATH.
"Setting the class path" Documentation.

NoClassDefFoundError in Java comes when Java Virtual Machine is not
able to find a particular class at runtime which was available during
compile time. For example if we have a method call from a class or
accessing any static member of a Class and that class is not available
during run-time then JVM will throw NoClassDefFoundError.
Obvious reason of NoClassDefFoundError is that a particular class is not available in Classpath, so we need to add that into Classpath or we need to check why it’s not available in Classpath if we are expecting it to be. There could be multiple reasons like:
Class is not available in Java Classpath.
You might be running your program using jar command and class was
not defined in manifest file's ClassPath attribute.
Any start-up script is overriding Classpath environment variable.

Try in this way
run command prompt as Administrator, and
cd C:\Users\Apostolos\Documents\NetBeansProjects\Java1\src
then
javac java1/MyProgram.java
Then
java java1.MyProgram
This will work.

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: MyProgram (wrong name
This exception is thrown when the JVM cannot finf your class at run time
From C:\Users\Apostolos\Documents\NetBeansProjects\Java1\src
execute " "java java1.MyProgram" –

Runnig jar dependant java class file

java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError
I have a java program which is dependant on two jar files.
i compile the program using command :
javac -classpath jar1.jar:jar2.jar myprog.java and it compiles successfully.
But when i try to run the program using command : java -cp jar1.jar:jar2.jar myprog , it is throwing the java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError . please help , where am i wrong ?
i am using ubuntu 10.04.
Actual error :
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: userapps/SelectionTask_classes/SelectionTask
Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: userapps.SelectionTask_classes.SelectionTask
at java.net.URLClassLoader$1.run(URLClassLoader.java:217)
at java.security.AccessController.doPrivileged(Native Method)
at java.net.URLClassLoader.findClass(URLClassLoader.java:205)
at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClass(ClassLoader.java:321)
at sun.misc.Launcher$AppClassLoader.loadClass(Launcher.java:294)
at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClass(ClassLoader.java:266)
Could not find the main class: userapps/SelectionTask_classes/SelectionTask. Program will exit.
where SelectionTask is my class file generated after successful compilation.

Make sure that the current directory is also in the classpath. Try running with:
java -cp .:jar1.jar:jar2.jar myprog
if your compiled class file myprog.class is in the current directory.
(This assumes that your program is not in a package).

You need to add directory where your compiled java program (*.class) file is located. If it's in current directory then you could run it like this (notice "." which denotes current working directory):
java -cp .:jar1.jar:jar2.jar myprog

Look at the error, it's complaining about not being able to find "userapps.SelectionTask_classes.SelectionTask", which hints at the last entry in your classpath not beign specified correctly. Now, assuming that the JAR files you have specified are in the following directory structure:
./hadoop-0.20.1-core.jar
./lib/hadoopdb.jar
./userapps/SelectionTask_classes/
You would run:
java -cp hadoop-0.20.1-core.jar:lib/hadoopdb.jar:userapps/SelectionTask_classes/ myprog
