JMeter startup failure on new XP machine, problem went away and came
back
This error occurred when I first installed JMeter (jakarta-jmeter-2.3RC3). I
poked and prodded, did some reinstallation, tried different things, and suddenly
it worked, without my being able to explain why. It worked for a couple of
days. I made the mistake of hitting the "close" button on the DOS box JMeter
was running in, which also took down the GUI window I had test results displayed
in. When I tried to run JMeter again, the error had returned. I've reinstalled
Java (JDK and JRE), and JMeter, and this problem won't go away.
C:\Programs\Java\JAKART~1.3RC\bin > jmeter
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/apache/jorphan/ut

at org.apache.jmeter.NewDriver.main(NewDriver.java:181)
Wed 08/08/2007 15:12:38.48 Microsoft Windows XP [Version 5.1.2600]
Summary of what I've done:
brand new development system, Sony Vaio VGN-BX660P 1GB RAM Intel Core2 1.82GHz
installed WAMP 1.7.2
...
installed jdk-6u2-windows-i586-p.exe JDK 6 Update 2: jdk1.6.0_02, jre1.6.0_02
Neither JAVA_HOME nor CLASSPATH were set by the Java installation. I set
JAVA_HOME=C:\Programs\Java\jre1.6.0_02 to use the JRE.
I tried to figure out what was meant in the "2.3 Installation" section of
http://jakarta.apache.org/jmeter/usermanual/get-started.html where it says
"simply unzip the zip/tar file into the directory where you want JMeter to be
installed" and first unzipped the archive into a temporary directory, then
copied the contents of the bin, etc. directories to the corresponding JRE ones
(since that's where I'd set JAVA_HOME to be).
Once I figured out where jmeter.bat was, I opened a DOS box in that directory
and tried running "jmeter" - which returned the error output illustrated above.
I tried hacking at the problem, reinstalling stuff, rebooting, reinstalling
more - and suddenly it started working, for reasons unknown. Unfortunately, I
didn't keep notes of all the steps I went through, so I've got no clue what I
changed that caused it to start working.
When the bug returned, I tried reinstalling Java, discovered there were at least
two copies on the machine, and deinstalled both Java and JMeter. In doing the
reinstall, I put Java back in the same place I'd had it before, and unpacked
JMeter into a separate directory, so its files are no longer mixed in with the
JRE ones. I'm still getting the same error, and cannot proceed with *ANY* testing.
I tried looking at the source code, but without studying the whole JMeter
application, I don't think I'd know where to look for this problem.
I've Googled for "Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError"
which returned lots of "set CLASSPATH" types of results, and tried a variety of
CLASSPATH settings, none of which have made any difference. I now have it as:
.;C:\Programs\Java\jre1.6.0_02\lib;C:\Programs\Java\jakarta-jmeter-2.3RC3\lib;C:\Programs\Java\httpunit-1.6.2\jars;C:\Programs\Java\httpunit-1.6.2\lib;
I also Googled "NoClassDefFoundError: org/apache/jorphan/util/JMeterException"
which only returned pages about BeanShell, which seems pretty irrelevant here.
What am I doing wrong here? Did I misinstall something? Is there a problem
with using JMeter with Java 6 Update 2? (Should I be asking these questions
somewhere at Sun?) Is there a better way to look for useful suggestions? Did
closing the DOS box with JMeter running in it really break something at the
system level, as it appears???
Any useful suggestions will be sincerely appreciated!!

I've tried unpacking both the .tgz and the .zip into the JMeter installation
directory, both without success. I've got 32 .jar files in the lib directory
(including jorphan.jar), and 14 in the lib/ext directory.

I get the same error if jorphan.jar is not in the lib directory - are
you sure that the archive was correctly unpacked?
The lib directory should contain at least 31 jar files (more if you
have added Javamail and BeanShell).

JMeter was working (when it was working) with it mixed in with the JRE the first
time. In the second installation (see the following paragraphs), I unpacked
JMeter into its own directory (C:\Programs\Java\jakarta-jmeter-2.RC3), and
that's where it's not working from now.
I had noted the "path with no spaces" warning in the JMeter installation
directions, which is why I'd installed it under "C:\Programs" instead of under
"C:\Program Files" in the first place.

That may be the problem.
Just unzip the zip file into a directory - e.g. into C:\ - this will
create the directory C:\jakarta-jmeter-2.3RC3 and all the JMeter
files will be below that. Do not copy the files into the JRE
directories.
Don't extract JMeter into a path with any spaces in it or remote mode
will not work.
