debian bluetooth bluecove java7 not working

Question

I have a clean Debian squeeze installation and trying to get a jar app running that would communicated with the bluetooth dongle in the usb port. Hardware side all runs fine bluetooth functionality all here. I need to run Java7 which I have installed with by downloading from oracle the jdk and using the update-alternatives to bind it into the system.

The Java app requires bluecove as a library to communicate with the system. My bluecove.jar file is in my classpath /home/app/lib I have the gpl in there and also the normal snapshot.

As I execute the app via java -cp /home/app/lib/bluecove-2.1.1-SNAPSHOT.jar -jar myapp.jar I have been getting the same error over and over and cannot figure it out. Its like java cannot load the bluecove.

Exception in thread "main" javax.bluetooth.BluetoothStateException: BlueCove com.intel.bluetooth.BluetoothStackBlueZ|com.intel.bluetooth.BluetoothStackBlueZDBus not available

Anyone seen this? thanks!

download 'bluecove-2.1.0.jar' and 'bluecove-gpl-2.1.0.jar' both. linux require a bluecove-gpl jar file too.

and then export or use -cp in runtime

export CLASSPATH=$CLASSPATH:(/your bluecove jar location)
export CLASSPATH=$CLASSPATH:(/your bluecove gpl jar location)
java -jar myapp.jar
