NoClassDefFoundError

["Levy, Alane" <al...@cognex.com>]

When I tried running the following sample .fo file (from Ch 18 of E.R.
Harold's XML Bible) using FOP version 0.2.0.3:
 
<?xml version="1.0" ?> 
<fo:root xmlns:fo="  <http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Format>
http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Format">
 <fo:layout-master-set>
  <fo:simple-page-master master-name="only">
   <fo:region-body /> 
    </fo:simple-page-master>
 </fo:layout-master-set>
 <fo:page-sequence master-name="only">
  <fo:flow flow-name="xsl-region-body">
   <fo:block font-size="20pt" font-family="serif"
line-height="30pt">Hydrogen</fo:block> 
     <fo:block font-size="20pt" font-family="serif"
line-height="30pt">Helium</fo:block> 
  </fo:flow>
 </fo:page-sequence>
</fo:root>
 
It produced the following error:
 
C:\FOP Test>java -cp build\fop.jar;lib
\batik.jar;lib\xalan-2.0.0.jar;lib\xerces-1.2.3.jar;lib\avalon-framework-4.0
.jar
;lib\logkit-1.0b4.jar;lib\jimi-1.0.jar org.apache.fop.apps.Fop 18-1.fo

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError:

        at org.apache.fop.apps.Fop.main(Fop.java:16)
 
 
Does anyone have any idea what the problem is? The fop.jar and
xerces-1.2.3.jar files are located in my C:\j2sdk1.4.0\jre\lib\ext
directory. (There were no w3c.jar or jimi-1.0.jar files included with the
FOP distribution.) Is there something wrong in my setup?

That's a class from LogKit (logkit-1.0b4.jar). Maybe you have
logkit-1.0.jar in your lib directory, now. So you may have to adjust the
classpath.

w3c.jar is not necessary anymore, I think.
jimi.jar can be downloaded at Sun.
