OpenCV Exporting Runnable JAR in Eclipse - eclipse

While Exporting Runnable JAR in Eclipse, Got error as no open cv in java.library.path.
Included Steps :-
Created User Library (ex OpenCV320) in eclipse and added in project build path also dll (as my system is 64 bit "C:\OpenCV\opencv\build\java\x64") opencv_java320.dll is set as Native library Location.
While exporting runnable jar selected "Extract required libraries into generated jar".

Here is the solution
No need to create separate user library.
Add below code.
String libraryPath = "C:\OpenCV\opencv\build\java\x64";
System.setProperty("java.library.path", libraryPath);
Field sysPath = ClassLoader.class.getDeclaredField("sys_paths");
sysPath.setAccessible(true);
sysPath.set(null, null);
3.And export the runnable jar.

Launch External Tools from Eclipse Plug-in View

I'm building a simple Eclipse plug-in out of preexisting Java application project that relays on 2 external files, one x-executable/application and one .sh script.
The call is implemented in application like this, (which wouldn't work in plug-in):
Process p = new ProcessBuilder("external/application_name", "-d", path).start();
I used External Tool Configuration to define how I want this external files to be launch (when user clicks button on View) and I've exported configuration (example of one):
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no"?>
<launchConfiguration type="org.eclipse.ui.externaltools.ProgramLaunchConfigurationType">
<stringAttribute key="org.eclipse.ui.externaltools.ATTR_LOCATION" value="${workspace_loc:/softwareevolution/external/application_name}"/>
<stringAttribute key="org.eclipse.ui.externaltools.ATTR_TOOL_ARGUMENTS" value="-d ${project_loc}"/>
<stringAttribute key="org.eclipse.ui.externaltools.ATTR_WORKING_DIRECTORY" value="${project_loc}"/>
</launchConfiguration>
How can I have this application install along with Eclipse plug in,
or a as a part of it? (see #howlger answer billow) - I set plugin to install as directory /
Connected plugin to Feature project- checked unpack after
installation - and exported Feature project. Select application's
folder on Build/Binary build.
Can I then make use out of this exported .launch files, and if so
under which extension point should I include them in plugin.xml? -
No. (see #greg-449)
The application is supposed to produce 2 files on the path where it
is executed from. I am facing permission denied when trying to
launch it in terminal from plug-in's install directory but not when
launching in workspace. (see #howlger answer billow) - Upon exporting the plugin, initial
permissions of application had changed. Used instructions in p2.inf
to chmod them back.
The newly generated files (from runing .sh script) are missing write permission.
ProcessBuilder
After finally setting up plugin correctly and adding ProcessBuilder I was getting exception message : Cannot run program "rfind_20" (in
directory
"home/adminuser/.p2/pool/plugins/rFindTest3_1.0.0.201809030453/external"
error=2:, No such file or directory
File rfind_20 did exist and permission were 777. The targeted project also existed.
Although the working directory was set to applications folder, the application name was not enough, the absolute path was required as
command argument.
pb = new ProcessBuilder(url.getPath(), "-d", project.getProject().getLocation().toString());
#Override
public Object execute(ExecutionEvent event) throws ExecutionException {
IProject project= sampleGetSelectedProject();
ProcessBuilder pb;
Process rfind, ajust, copy;
Bundle bundle = FrameworkUtil.getBundle(getClass());//Bundle bundle = Platform.getBundle("rFindTest3");
URL url = FileLocator.find(bundle, new Path("external/rfind_20"), null);
URL dirurl = FileLocator.find(bundle, new Path("external/"), null);
IWorkbenchWindow window = HandlerUtil.getActiveWorkbenchWindowChecked(event);
try {
MessageDialog.openInformation(
window.getShell(),
"Test",
project.getProject().getLocation().toString());
url = FileLocator.toFileURL(url);
dirurl = FileLocator.toFileURL(dirurl);
pb = new ProcessBuilder(url.getPath(), "-d", project.getProject().getLocation().toString());
//no matter the working directory the absolute path was required!! sending "rfind_20" as command did not work as command
pb.directory(new File(dirurl.getFile()));
rfind = pb.start();
rfind.waitFor();
rfind.destroy();
}catch(Exception e) {
MessageDialog.openInformation(
window.getShell(),
"Test",
e.getMessage());
}
return null;
}
The only remaining mystery is why my sampleGetProject() method wouldn't work in Plug-in Perspective. So just keep in mind to switch to other Perspectives when testing your plug-in.
There are two ways to ship an application as part of a plugin and run it via ProcessBuilder (the *.launch file cannot be used inside a plugin for that):
Extract the executable files from the plugin JAR to a (temp) directory and change their file permissions before running them
Install the plugin as a directory:
In META-INF/MANIFEST.MF add the line Eclipse-BundleShape: dir (see "The Eclipse-BundleShape Header" in Eclipse help - Platform Plug-in Developer Guide - OSGi Bundle Manifest Headers)
Create a Feature Project and connect your plug-in in Included Plug-in, check "Unpack the plug-in archive after the installation"
Create a META-INF/p2.inf file that contains the following (see Eclipse help - Platform Plug-in Developer Guide: "Touchpoint Instruction Advice" in Customizing p2 metadata and "chmod" in Provisioning Actions and Touchpoints):
instructions.install = \
chmod(targetDir:${artifact.location},targetFile:path/to/executable1,permissions:755);\
chmod(targetDir:${artifact.location},targetFile:path/to-executale_which_generates_files/executable2,permissions:733);\
chmod(targetDir:${artifact.location},targetFile:path/to-executale_which_generates_files/,permissions:766);
instructions.install.import = org.eclipse.equinox.p2.touchpoint.eclipse.chmod
If you have a xxx.launch file in the workspace you can launch it using
IFile file = ... get IFile for workspace file
ILaunchConfiguration config = DebugPlugin.getDefault().getLaunchManager().getLaunchConfiguration(file);
DebugUITools.launch(config, ILaunchManager.RUN_MODE, false);
If you have an executable as part of a plug-in then you can't use a .launch file. Instead use FileLocator to get the location of the executable and run it with ProcessBuilder
Bundle bundle = FrameworkUtil.getBundle(getClass());
URL url = FileLocator.find(bundle, new Path("relative path to executable"));
url = FileLocator.toFileURL(url);

cant compile ast parser code in java

I have some ast parser code in eclipse but I am unable to import the
import org.eclipse.jdt.core.dom.AST;
import org.eclipse.jdt.core.dom.ASTParser;
packages.
could some body tell me which jar file to download and where to add same that jar file in eclipse folder.
You probably have those files downloaded already in eclipse\plugins folder i.e. in windows C:\Program Files\eclipse\plugins\org.eclipse.jdt.core_3.9.1.v20130905-0837.jar
Of course you can download from internet as well
http://central.maven.org/maven2/org/eclipse/tycho/org.eclipse.jdt.core/
Note that in order to run it as a stand alone application you will have to import such librariers (where xx stands for version and again they can be found in eclipse\plugins folder):
org.eclipse.core.contenttype_xx.jar
org.eclipse.core.jobs_xx.jar
org.eclipse.core.resources_xx.jar
org.eclipse.core.runtime_xx.jar
org.eclipse.equinox.common_xx.jar
org.eclipse.equinox.preferences_xx.jar
org.eclipse.jdt.core_xx.jar
org.eclipse.osgi_xx.jar
Usually people add other libraries in folder called lib but still you will have to set it in eclipse. In order to do that right click on your project then build path -> configure build path -> libraries and select add JAR.

Eclipse RCP: add external directories to classpath

I have an eclipse RCP application, where I need to add some external jar files.
The problem is that I can't add the jars simply to a plugin and add this plugin to my RCP application.
For several reasons I must only add paths to directories where the jar files are located. These jar files have to be added to the program's classpath at startup.
And the paths to the directories are a variable (e.g. they are placed in a file).
Is there a possibility to add external paths somehow to the classpath?
add external directory to classpath,there are three method:
> **1. System.setProperty("java.class.path",
> System.getProperty("java.class.path")+";"+"directory");**
File file = new File("/home/../my.jar");
URLClassLoader classloader = (URLClassLoader) ClassLoader.getSystemClassLoader();
Method add = URLClassLoader.class.getDeclaredMethod("addURL", new Class[] { URL.class });
add.setAccessible(true);
add.invoke(classloader, new Object[] { file.toURI().toURL() });
configurate classpath variable in .bashrc

RxTx installation on windows java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: gnu/io/CommPort

I put rxtxcomm.jar into jre/lib/ext folder, but I still get NoClassDefFoundError Isn't this folder automatically taken into the global classpath?
Thanks
yes it is taken automatically to classpath, but RXTXcomm uses JNI /native external libraries (.so and .dll files), you must provide the path to them when running your program in command line:
java -jar yourprogram.jar -Djava.library.path="PATH_TO_EXTERNAL_LIBRARIES"
for linux:
suppose you unpacked the rxtx.zip to
/home/user/
if you have 32bit x86 platofrm:
PATH_TO_EXTERNAL_LIBRARIES = /home/user/Linux/i686-unknown-linux-gnu/
if you have 64bit x86 platform the it would be:
PATH_TO_EXTERNAL_LIBRARIES = /home/user/Linux/x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/
for windows:
suppose you downloaded and unpacked it to C:\rxtxt
PATH_TO_EXTERNAL_LIBRARIES = C:\rxtxt\Windows\i368-mingw32\
If you find it cumbersome to do it from command line you can do it from yout code (before opening port via RXTXcomm):
System.setProperty("java.library.path","PATH_TO_EXTERNAL_LIBRARIES");
EDIT:
of course, you must put RXTXcomm.jar in your classpath in addition to all of the above. If running from command line as jar packaged program - yourprogram.jar - inside the jar you must have a META-INF folder that contains MANIFEST.MF with the following entries:
Class-Path: lib/RXTXcomm.jar
Main-Class: pkg.Main
and yourprogram.jar must be in folder which has folder lib in which is RXTXcomm.jar, also
the class with
public static void main(String[] args)
method must be called Main and reside in package named pkg (just replace pkg.Main with whatever you have).
Then you can run your program succesfully and open a serial port if you have one. This approach also eliminates the need to copy anything in jre/lib/ext folder
EDIT^2:
or, if you don't want to pack your program in jar, position yourself in folder which contains the folder pkg and write:
java -cp PATH_TO_RXTX/RXTXcomm.jar -Djava.library.path="PATH_TO_EXTERNAL_LIBRARIES" pkg.Main
(all paths can be relative or absolute)
EDIT^3:
but I would recommend Java Simple Serial Connector instead of RXTXcomm:
it handles heavy load from multiple threads as opposed to RXTXcomm (tested in production)
external libraries are packed in jar so there is no need for setting java.library.path

Programmatically adding a library to an Eclipse project

How can I create a new build path entry for any *.jar file and add this classpath entry to the build path of an Eclipse project.
I have a plugin that should automatically setup my target project. So this project needs to have some library imports and I want to add this imports automatically using a wizard. The user just selects the location of a certain SDK and then some libraries have to be linked with the target project.
However, I found some references:
Importing libraries in Eclipse programmatically
How to add a folder to java build path as library, having multiple jars or entries in it?
Unfortunately, I failed to implement the second solution as I cannot find the classes IClasspathContainer, JavaCore and IJavaProject.
I'm using Eclipse Helios and JDK. Do I need any additional libraries to make changes to the build path or is there a simpler solution to import a jar library programmatically?
Regards,
Florian
I'm assuming that you are creating a plugin and need your plugin to manage the extra jars added to the classpath.
As you mention, you need to create a custom classpath container. First, create the classpath container extension by exending this extension point:
org.eclipse.jdt.core.classpathContainerInitializer
Then, you create a class that implements org.eclipse.jdt.core.IClasspathContainer and associate it with the extension point you just created.
You mention that you cannot find the org.eclipse.jdt.core.IClasspathContainer interface. You need to make sure that your plugin references the org.eclipse.jdt.core plugin in its MANIFEST.MF.
Here you can find some examples, how to define new classpath entries and classpath containers to java projects. I think it would handy for someone reading this question.
In order to get access to IJavaProject etc, goto your plugin.xml and add org.eclipse.jdt.core to the classpath. Thereafter you can import those packages into your project.
String projectName = "MyProject"; // project to add a library to
IProject project = ResourcesPlugin.getWorkspace().getRoot().getProject(projectName);
IJavaProject jProject = JavaCore.create(project);
for(File file : new File("path-to-some-directory-of-libraries-to-add").listFiles()){
if(file.isFile() && file.getName().endsWith(".jar")){
addProjectLibrary(jProject, file);
}
}
private static void addProjectLibrary(IJavaProject jProject, File jarLibrary) throws IOException, URISyntaxException, MalformedURLException, CoreException {
// copy the jar file into the project
InputStream jarLibraryInputStream = new BufferedInputStream(new FileInputStream(jarLibrary));
IFile libFile = jProject.getProject().getFile(jarLibrary.getName());
libFile.create(jarLibraryInputStream, false, null);
// create a classpath entry for the library
IClasspathEntry relativeLibraryEntry = new org.eclipse.jdt.internal.core.ClasspathEntry(
IPackageFragmentRoot.K_BINARY,
IClasspathEntry.CPE_LIBRARY, libFile.getLocation(),
ClasspathEntry.INCLUDE_ALL, // inclusion patterns
ClasspathEntry.EXCLUDE_NONE, // exclusion patterns
null, null, null, // specific output folder
false, // exported
ClasspathEntry.NO_ACCESS_RULES, false, // no access rules to combine
ClasspathEntry.NO_EXTRA_ATTRIBUTES);
// add the new classpath entry to the project's existing entries
IClasspathEntry[] oldEntries = jProject.getRawClasspath();
IClasspathEntry[] newEntries = new IClasspathEntry[oldEntries.length + 1];
System.arraycopy(oldEntries, 0, newEntries, 0, oldEntries.length);
newEntries[oldEntries.length] = relativeLibraryEntry;
jProject.setRawClasspath(newEntries, null);
}
Note that as Andrew Eisenberg mentioned, you need to include the org.eclipse.jdt.core plugin dependency in your plugin's MANIFEST.MF.
Note that you may also need to programmatically refresh the project too.
