could not find or load main class org.apache.uima.tools.cvd.CVD

[Zuo Yiming <yi...@gmail.com>]

Hi everyone,

I started to use cTAKES 3.2.2 earlier last month. It worked well on my mac.
Then I decided to migrate everything from my mac to the Windows server. I
downloaded the window version cTAKES and tried to replicate the result.
However, when I started CVD using command line (bin\runctakesCVD.bat) the
following error returns:
Error: Could not find or load main class org.apache.uima.tools.cvd.CVD

Originally, I thought this must be a general issue but after doing
extensive search on the web and spending two days on trying different
solutions, I still couldn't solve this problem. Can someone help me out?

---------------------------------
Something more to add:
1, On the web, some suggest this error occurs when UIMA_HOME is not
properly set. I wasn't using Eclipse IDE and ran cTAKES only using command
line. I doubt about this suggestion since I was doing the same thing on my
Mac and it worked fine. In addition, I don't know what UIMA_HOME should be
given the ctakes folder.
2, I did change the name of the ctakes folder from "apache-ctakes-3.2.2" to
"apache-ctakes-3.2.2-win" to distinguish the mac and the window versions
but I don't think this caused the error.

Best,
Yiming

As a follow up, after I compared the mac and windows version, I think I've
narrowed down the problem to that the window version won't take
CTAKES_HOME/lib/* in the java -cp command properly. The command shows up in
my windows server as follows. Hopefully, this can be useful.

java -cp
"C:\Zuo\Github\cTAKES\apache-ctakes-3.2.2-win/desc/;C:\Zuo\Github\cTAKES\apache-ctakes-3.2.2-win/resources/;C:\Zuo\Github\cTAKES\apache-ctakes-3.2.2-win/lib/*"
-Dlog4j.configuration=file:/C:\Zuo\Github\cTAKES\apache-ctakes-3.2.2-win/config/log4j.xml
-Xms512M -Xmx3g org.apache.uima.tools.cvd.CVD
