Question

Help compiling java files with bash script

Version: Windchill 12.0

 

Use Case: Need help completing my bash script to compile java files. Currently having issues with windchill class not found exceptions, I believe I need to include the .JAR files into the classpath, but am not sure how to do so.


Description:

Here is what I have written so far, the javac $file command is leading to class not found exceptions since I haven't included the JAR files:

I saw this article that briefly talked about how to do https://www.ptc.com/en/support/article/CS324171

 

But I am using more than one jar file, probably about 50 in total. Need help figuring out what to do with them.

You might need to setup the Windchill shell environment inside the bash script. I add these 2 following lines to shell scripts that need it:

echo " Setting up the Windchill shell environment"

eval `/opt/ptc/Windchill/Windchill/bin/windchill --java=/opt/ptc/Windchill/Java/bin/java eval`

I added in the line to setup Windchill shell environment, but am still getting class not found exceptions when compiling. I tried adding my jar files to the classpath when compiling, which is when I noticed that each file was separated by a string, when they should have been separated by a colon. 

After putting all the the jar file paths into a string variable (separating them by a colon) I'm still getting Windchill class not found errors. 

 

Here's what my jar_files_str variable looks like: (full paths of jar files separated by ':')

Hi @loganc 

You should add all class to the variable not just jar files.

There is a folder codebase in the Windchill folder, where all the internal classes are.

 

So you should add the WTHOME\codebase folder to the java class variable
