HelloWTKX Not Working
Hi All,
I just started up playing with Pivot. But I bumped on an issue with
HelloWTKX example. When running the sample it throws an exception as
follows.
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: location is null.
at org.apache.pivot.wtkx.WTKXSerializer.readObject(Unknown Source)
at org.apache.pivot.wtkx.WTKXSerializer.readObject(Unknown Source)
at org.apache.pivot.wtkx.WTKXSerializer.readObject(Unknown Source)
at HelloWTKX.startup(HelloWTKX.java:22)
at
org.apache.pivot.wtk.DesktopApplicationContext$HostFrame.processWindowEvent(Unknown
Source)
at java.awt.Window.processEvent(Window.java:1785)
I have double checked the wtkx file location. It is in the same directory as
the class file as referred in the codes. Am I missing some thing here?
Thanks for any help in this regard.
Regards,
Chamith

Thanks for the help.
I finally found a solution, which is very easy indeed, but apparently
IntelliJ didn't explain it clearly.
I am psting it because someone could run into the same problem.
Basically all one has to do is:
File->Settings->Compiler
Then from insert the bxml, or wtkx extension to the files being recognized
as resources. These latter are automatically copied to the output directory.

Hi all,
I don't know IDEA, but are you able to try to add another source folder and
put resources there (with the same package structure as your classes) ?
Like in Maven project structure, with src/main/java and src/main/resources
for example.
Then, in eclipse if wanted I can filter included/excluded files for any
source folder (and default is *.* allowed), maybe even in IDEA (or maybe you
could leave *.java in src/main/java and add *.* in the src/main/resources)
...
Hope this helps.
Bye,
Sandro

Hey Buddhika, how did you resolve this issue? could you please explain it. I
was using eclipse to develop one app and it was working fine. Now I moved to
idea and I am getting this "location is null" error. I cant figure out the
configuration.
Thanks,

Hi Greg,
Figured it out. IDEA doesn't include the wtkx file in the build output
directory by default. Placing wtkx in the build output directory solved the
issue. Thanks for the help.

OK. Is the tutorials/src directory on your classpath when you run the app? If not, it won't be able to find the WTKX files. This isn't necessary when you run from the JAR file, but you might need to configure IDEA to include it.

I am trying to run the app from the source.
Re: HelloWTKX Not Working

There's no real standard, though we do use Eclipse to build the platform (you can also build it with Ant).
Are you building that app from source or are you trying to run it from the tutorials JAR file?

Hi Greg,
Thanks for the quick reply. I running the app as an Idea Java project with
pivot jars in the classpath. Btw what is the standard development platform
Pivot apps?

How are you building/running the app?
