AntBuilder works in Groovy Console but not in Eclipse - eclipse

I am running Windows 7. The following code works in Groovy Console:
def fileEx = new File(/Y:\Documents\Test File.txt/)
def copyToFile = new File(/Y:\Documents\Test File - Copied by Groovy and Ant.txt/)
ant = new AntBuilder()
ant.copy(file:fileEx, tofile:copyToFile)
but when I try to run it as a Groovy Script in Eclipse, I get this error:
Caught: java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/apache/tools/ant/BuildException
java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/apache/tools/ant/BuildException
at copyFile.run(copyFile.groovy:4)
Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.apache.tools.ant.BuildException
I have tried adding ant.jar to myclasspath, both the ant.jar in the Groovy lib folder and the one in the Eclipse plugins lib folder, but this does not solve the problem.

Looks like groovy-eclipse plugin ships with a subset of libraries a full install of groovy does. You'll want a full install of groovy, which you may already have, in addition to the eclipse plugin.
You should be able to solve your problem by going to your project, and going to Properties->Java Build Path, then click 'Libraries'. 'Add External Jars' and navigate to your full groovy installation. Under there, the lib directory should have the ant.jar and ant-launcher.jar. Add them both. This should clear this up (and queue up the underlying problem for debugging).

Eclipse Kotlin plugin not compiling Kotlin classes

Using Eclipse 2018.12, I've installed the Eclipse Kotlin plugin (0.8.20.20200316-1305), created a Kotlin project (using the "New..." options under "Kotlin") and wrote a "Hello World!" program:
Test.kt:
fun main() = System.out.println("Hello World!")
However, when I try to run it I get the message
Error: Could not find or load main class TestKt
Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: TestKt
Upon further inspection it seems the class has never been compiled. There is no corresponding .class file anywhere. Under the project directory I see Eclipse configuration directory .settings and files .project and .classpath. Besides that, I have an empty bin directory and a src directory with Test.kt only.
I found two similar questions about this in SO:
In Unable to Run Kotlin Application in Eclipse, the accepted answer simply indicates working with a new version of Eclipse and Kotlin plugin, both older than what I have now. Besides, the problem may have been solved in that case due to a new installation rather than the version.
Kotlin - Error: Could not find or load main class _DefaultPackage is quite old and the accepted answer does not apply anymore. It was about not naming the main class properly, but in my case there is not even a byte code file to be found.
Running "Project -> Compile Kotlin classes" had no effect.
How can I get this simple example to run?
Update: I've updated to 2020-06 (not that it should matter since Eclipse Kotlin lists 2018-12 in its requirements) and replaced Zuly by AdoptOpenJDK HotSpotJDK 11. The error persists. The Eclipse log does not show any related messages.
Update 2: re-created the project in a brand-new workspace but the problem persists.

Error occurred during initialization of boot layer java.lang.module.FindException executing Selenium tests using TestNG and Java 12 through Eclipse

ErrorOccuredDuringInitializationofbootlayer I keep getting this error when I run
my test:
Error occurred during initialization of boot layer

How can I fix it?
Add TestNG Library to classpath in buildpath ( not to module path). It will work fine.
To avoid this error, do not add TestNG library in the project or src folder. Try adding it into the package. To do so , follow the below mentioned procedure.
Right click on the package, click Build Path->Configure Build Path, go to Libraries tab, select Classpath and click on Add Library to select TestNG.
This error message...

Eclipse plugin: TestNG testcase does not run with Jdk11
Need to add 1.8 version library
Remove TestNG from build path library and add again
Recheck - the issue should be resolved.
I got same issue and I solved it. When creating the project, don't create module-info.java. When the project was already created with the module-info.java, deleting this file didn't help me.
I just created new project without module-info.java, and all works good now.
Best option to resolve this:
Find all file and folder starting with . e.g. — .metadata / .setting and delete them.
Add all the JARS.
Add testNG Libraries.
Execute it.
Done.

Running Scala under Eclipse

I'm very new to Scala and I tried to run Scala project under Eclipse. I used sbt to create one, then ran sbteclipse to prepare it for Eclipse and imported it successfully. However when I try to run it I get
Error: Unable to initialize main class Main
Caused by: java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: scala/Function0
error. Scala, sbt and Java are installed, because when I try to run the same project via console, using sbt, it works. What am I missing?
Thanks for any help!
It looks like the classpath of your Eclipse project is incomplete: it's missing the Scala library. Can you double check in Project Settings that the scala library is present?
If all you want to do is try a simple program, an simpler solution is to create a New Scala Project using the Eclipse wizard.

How to change Eclipse-Groovy plugin Groovy libraries?

I am using the newest version (2.8.0) of the Eclipse-Groovy plugin that ships with groovy-all-2.1.5.jar. I added Guice to my Groovy project, and when I go to run them from inside Eclipse I get the following error in the console output:
Caught: java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/codehaus/groovy/runtime/typehandling/ShortTypeHandling

Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.codehaus.groovy.runtime.typehandling.ShortTypeHandling
... 12 more
According to this answer it's because ShortTypeHandling wasn't added until 2.3.x. So I would now like to attach groovy-all-2.3.3.jar to my Eclipse project's classpath.
The problem is that I don't seem to have edit permissions to change what library the Groovy Libraries library uses under the hood. And when I manually add the 2.3.3 JAR to my build path, I get the following error:
Caught: java.lang.ExceptionInInitializerError
java.lang.ExceptionInInitializerError
Caused by: groovy.lang.GroovyRuntimeException: Conflicting module versions. Module [groovy-all is loaded in version 2.1.5 and you are trying to load version 2.3.3
What are my options?
Groovy-eclipse versions have its own compilers and are "locked" to them. You may change the versions to whatever is listed under Window > Preferences > Groovy > Compilers, but, AFAIK, you can't change to an arbitrary version of the compiler by simply changing the groovy-all jar in the guts of the plugin dir.
You can install new compiler versions using the update site or eclipse marketplace
Update: install additional compiler versions through Help > Install new Software, select Groovy update site and expand the Extra Groovy Compilers session:
Note i'm using snapshot update site, because i like to live dangerously.

noClassDefFoundError using Scala Plugin for Eclipse

I successfully implemented and ran several Scala tutorials in Eclipse using the Scala plugin. Then suddenly I tried to compile and run an example, and this error came up:
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: hello/HelloWorld
Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: hello.HelloWorld
at java.net.URLClassLoader$1.run(URLClassLoader.java:200)
at java.security.AccessController.doPrivileged(Native Method)

at sun.misc.Launcher$AppClassLoader.loadClass(Launcher.java:330)
at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClass(ClassLoader.java:250)
at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClassInternal(ClassLoader.java:398)
After this point I could no longer run any Scala programs in Eclipse. I tried cleaning and rebuilding my project, closing and reopening my project, and closing and reopening Eclipse.
Eclipse version number 3.5.2 and Scala plugin 2.8.0
Here is the original code:
package hello
object HelloWorld {
def main(args: Array[String]){
println("hello world")
}
}
If you see this when you attempt to run as a Scala application then the most likely explanation is that your project didn't compile and no class files were generated. Please check whether or not that's the case: look in your project's output folder for hello/HelloWorld.class.
If your project didn't compile that could either be because there's an error which you've missed (and if this error isn't being reported in the Problems view that could be a bug, in which case please open a ticket on Trac) or because you've turned off automatic builds and not done a manual build of your project.
I had the same problem. Project doesn't compile but there are no errors highlighted and AFAIK the code is OK. It seems to be a problem with the Run Configurations.
Solution 1: Delete the existing Run Configuration for your object and create a new one
Solution 2: Create a new object and cut / paste all your code into that file
When running "clean" does not un-hose Eclipse, I next try saving my work, exiting Eclipse, and re-starting. That usually gets things going again, but not always. A few times I've had to update the Scala plugin with a more recent version (I'm using the latest nightly), to get things working again. I doubt that this worked because the new plugin happened to fix the bug, but rather expect that loading the new plugin gives the whole Eclipse-Scala
system a "total reset" that gets it unhosed.
I was getting this problem in a project that combined .java & .scala files.
The solution for me was:
Remove all .java files
Edit the scala code as needed so it compiles without them.
Add the .java files back in.
Edit the scala code back.
The other solutions given here didn't work for me. I tried: clean project, restarting Eclipse, closing-&-opening the project, creating a new .scala file. No joy.
I'm using Eclipse 3.7 (latest stable), Scala IDE 2.0.0 and Scala 2.9 on Ubuntu Linux 11.10.
The symptoms in my case were:
My project was working, but then it stopped compiling for no apparent reason. The IDE didn't show any compilation errors for .scala files, but there were no .class files in the output directory & I got a NoClassDefError if I tried to run anything.
If I created a deliberate error in a .scala file, that did get picked up as a compilation error.
The .java files were registering errors due to the missing scala classes.
I suppose there's probably a boot-strapping bug somewhere in the IDE plugin for .java/.scala mixes. I've done hybrid projects with this setup without problems, so it's only triggered in some situations. I don't know what the trigger is, but once triggered, there's no nice solution.
I had moved my one and only class/object/application to a package, but had not added the package declaration.
sbt compiled and ran fine; eclipse would not
Adding the package declaration at the top of the file fixed it.
Scala 2.8.3 plugin; no compile error
I encountered this error too but after doing the suggestions here (cleaning, deleting Run Configuration etc), I realized that I set the workspace wrongly that is why the class is not being found.
An indication that this is a problem is when the same error occurs when you try to compile a java project.
I encountered this error (compilation worked in sbt but failed in eclipse) when I created a new package object called "common". Deleting the package object in eclipse caused the compile error to go away. There was nothing in it.
I was using sbt-eclipse to build the eclipse project. I'm using scala eclipse 3.0.0-vfinal-20130326-1146-Typesafe.
