java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: java.awt.Container
awt, java
Solution
I was getting the same problem when trying to install Visual Paradigm on Ubuntu 12.10 64 bit.
Java version:
java version "1.7.0_11"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.7.0_11-b21)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 23.6-b04, mixed mode)
This seemed to fix the problem:
`sudo apt-get install ia32-libs`
Problem
I am trying to install Visual Paradigm for UML. During the installation it crashes. This is the stack trace: ``` Unpacking JRE ... Preparing JRE ... Starting Installer ... java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: java.awt.Container at com.install4j.runtime.installer.frontend.headless.AbstractHeadlessScreenExecutor.init(Unknown Source) at com.install4j.runtime.installer.frontend.headless.ConsoleScreenExecutor.<init>(Unknown Source) at com.install4j.runtime.installer.frontend.headless.InstallerConsoleScreenExecutor.<init>(Unknown Source) at com.install4j.runtime.installer.Installer.getScreenExecutor(Unknown Source) at com.install4j.runtime.installer.Installer.runInProcess(Unknown Source) at com.install4j.runtime.installer.Installer.main(Unknown Source) at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke0(Native Method) at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(Unknown Source) at sun.reflect.DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(Unknown Source) at java.lang.reflect.Method.invoke(Unknown Source) at com.exe4j.runtime.LauncherEngine.launch(Unknown Source) at com.install4j.runtime.launcher.Launcher.main(Unknown Source) java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: java.awt.Component at javax.swing.ImageIcon.<clinit>(Unknown Source) at com.install4j.runtime.installer.frontend.GUIHelper.loadIcon(Unknown Source) at com.install4j.runtime.installer.frontend.GUIHelper.<clinit>(Unknown Source) at com.install4j.runtime.installer.helper.InstallerUtil.reportException(Unknown Source) at com.install4j.runtime.installer.Installer.main(Unknown Source) at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke0(Native Method) at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(Unknown Source) at sun.reflect.DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(Unknown Source) at java.lang.reflect.Method.invoke(Unknown Source) at com.exe4j.runtime.LauncherEngine.launch(Unknown Source) at com.install4j.runtime.launcher.Launcher.main(Unknown Source) ``` It appears that the installer can't find a class in the WT library. I can't see how how that can be possible. Does anyone know what is causing this, and how I may fix it?
