BigQuery api Java NoClassDefFoundError

Question

I'm developing a Java Application with Google App Engine. Therefore, I wanted to show some Data which are stored in Google BigQuery. How can I use the provided APIs to run my App locally in Eclipse?

I have downloaded “gcloud-java-bigquery-0.2.8.jar” and copied this file in WEB-INF/lib. Then I clicked on build path in Eclipse and selected the file. My Code, which is still very simple, had then no errors in eclipse:

import com.google.cloud.bigquery.BigQuery;
import com.google.cloud.bigquery.BigQueryOptions;


public class QuickstartSample {
  public static void runBQ(){
      BigQuery bigquery = BigQueryOptions.defaultInstance().getService();

 }
}

But when I compile this to run on Google App Engine localy I get: "java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: com/google/cloud/bigquery/BigQueryOptions"

java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: com/google/cloud/bigquery/BigQueryOptions

How can I solve this Problem? Do I need some more jars from google or do I need to modify my .classpath or something else. I read so many solutions but nothing worked for me yet. I'm very thankful for every help I can get.

Answer 1

You may have the incorrect JAR.

Please try building your project using Maven and using the latest version of Java BigQuery client library:

<dependency>
  <groupId>com.google.cloud</groupId>
  <artifactId>google-cloud-bigquery</artifactId>
  <version>1.111.1</version>
</dependency>

All the release BigQuery client artifacts can be found here: https://repo1.maven.org/maven2/com/google/cloud/google-cloud-bigquery/

Java BigQuery client is open source: https://github.com/googleapis/java-bigquery
