Error Generating Classes for JOOQ WIndows

Question

Trying to generate the necessary classes for a jooq program.

I have all three jars, the java connector, and a prop file in a temp location. But when I run:

java -classpath jooq-1.6.8.jar:jooq-meta-1.6.8.jar:jooq-codegen-1.6.8.jar:mysql-connector-java-5.0.8-bin.jar:. org.jooq.util.GenerationTool /jooq.properties

It says: Error : Could not find or load main class org.jooq.util.GenerationTool

What can I do?

Answer 1

I faced the same problem. org.jooq.codegen.GenerationTool should be used instead of org.jooq.util.GenerationTool:

java -classpath jooq-3.11.0.jar:jooq-meta-3.11.0.jar:jooq-codegen-3.11.0.jar:mysql-connector-java-6.0.6.jar:. org.jooq.codegen.GenerationTool library.xml

Answer 2

The manual that you've linked says:

Once you have the JAR files and library.xml in your temp directory, type this on a Windows machine:

java -classpath jooq-3.4.1.jar;jooq-meta-3.4.1.jar;jooq-codegen-3.4.1.jar;mysql-connector-java-5.1.18-bin.jar;. org.jooq.util.GenerationTool /library.xml

... or type this on a UNIX / Linux / Mac system (colons instead of semi-colons):

java -classpath jooq-3.4.1.jar:jooq-meta-3.4.1.jar:jooq-codegen-3.4.1.jar:mysql-connector-java-5.1.18-bin.jar:. org.jooq.util.GenerationTool /library.xml

You chose unix separators (colon :) to separate classpath elements, instead of Windows separators (semicolon ;).

Also, consider upgrading to the latest version
