NoClassDefFoundError hibernate criterion exporting jar

Question

I'm trying to export a java stand-alone class that uses hibernate. It's a really simple read/insert procedure. I'm stuck with this error

C:\Users\Admin\Desktop>java -jar ImportDatiMeteo2.jar
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/hibernate/criteri
on/Criterion
        at openplan.openergy.standalone.ImportDati.main(ImportDati.java:24)
Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.hibernate.criterion.Criterion

I was thinking it could be a manifest file problem so i checked. It seem ok to me.

In my Eclipse all the project work properly, does anyone know where the problem is?

Answer 1

You need to add those libraries in classpath as you are running it from command line :

C:\> java -classpath <referenced-jars> -jar ImportDatiMeteo2.jar

in myEclipse all the project work properly, does anyone know where the problem is ?

--> Because Eclipse will take care of your classpath and adding libraries in your classpath.

Answer 2

Please check Library handling option in your Eclipse export dialog. On my side it works fine with hibernate with Extract required libraries into generated JAR selected.
