I'm getting a NoSuchMethodError
error when running my Java program. What's wrong and how do I fix it?
lang. NoSuchMethodError is a runtime error in Java which occurs when a method is called that exists at compile-time, but does not exist at runtime. The Java Garbage Collector (GC) cannot free up the space required for a new object, which causes a java. lang.
NoSuchMethodError: main Exception in thread "main" can come due to various reasons like: 1) The class which you are trying to run doesn't have the main method. 2) The signature of the main method is not correct.
This is Thrown when the Java Virtual Machine attempts to read a class file and determines that the file is malformed or otherwise cannot be interpreted as a class file. 5. Error.
Without any more information it is difficult to pinpoint the problem, but the root cause is that you most likely have compiled a class against a different version of the class that is missing a method, than the one you are using when running it.
Look at the stack trace ... If the exception appears when calling a method on an object in a library, you are most likely using separate versions of the library when compiling and running. Make sure you have the right version both places.
If the exception appears when calling a method on objects instantiated by classes you made, then your build process seems to be faulty. Make sure the class files that you are actually running are updated when you compile.
