Tayouh, This mailing list is about Apache Felix... it is not a help forum for elementary Java. Please work through the Java Tutorial, particularly the Getting Started section: http://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/getStarted/index.html Regards Neil Tayeb Cherfouh 14 May 2012 12:07 this is all i seem to have as result! c:\classes\tutorial\exp1>javac -classpath D:\felix-framework-4.0.2\bin\felix.jar javac: no source files Usage: javac <options> <source files> use -help for a list of possible options 2012/5/14 Tayeb Cherfouh <tayeb.cherf...@gmail.com> Tayeb Cherfouh 14 May 2012 11:49 thanks a lot Ken :) i ll give it a try right now 2012/5/14 Ken Gilmer <kgil...@gmail.com> Ken Gilmer 14 May 2012 11:47 Hi Tayeb, To compile your java program you need to tell javac where the classes that your code references are located. Specifically the classes that are not part of the standard Java library, such as Felix. If you run "javac -help" you can see all the parameters it takes. You'll find this line helpful: -classpath <path> Specify where to find user class files and annotation processors So if you use this parameter to specify where the felix.jar is located, the "package <x> does not exist" errors should be resolved. You may need to do this for multiple jars depending on what classes your program references. hth, ken Tayeb Cherfouh 14 May 2012 10:10 Hi guys, i am new at this world and i ve downloaded the felix framework, jdk and sdk... well after that i ve started the apache tutorials with N°1: Apache Felix Tutorial Example 1<http://felix.apache.org/site/apache-felix-tutorial-example-1.html>: A bundle that listens for OSGi service events. it was great i ve learned much as i was writing the code and things, but when i went to the cmd so i can compile it i just got lost! first off what did they mean when they say to have felix.jar in the class path? second off this is what i get if i try to compile: c:\classes\tutorial\exp1>javac -d c:\classes *.java Activator.java:7: error: package org.osgi.framework does not exist import org.osgi.framework.BundleActivator; ^ Activator.java:8: error: package org.osgi.framework does not exist import org.osgi.framework.BundleContext; ^ Activator.java:9: error: package org.osgi.framework does not exist import org.osgi.framework.ServiceListener; ^ Activator.java:10: error: package org.osgi.framework does not exist import org.osgi.framework.ServiceEvent; ^ Activator.java:16: error: cannot find symbol public class Activator implements BundleActivator, ServiceListener ^ symbol: class BundleActivator Activator.java:16: error: cannot find symbol public class Activator implements BundleActivator, ServiceListener ^ symbol: class ServiceListener Activator.java:24: error: cannot find symbol public void start(BundleContext context){ ^ symbol: class BundleContext location: class Activator Activator.java:32: error: cannot find symbol public void stop(BundleContext context){ ^ symbol: class BundleContext location: class Activator Activator.java:42: error: cannot find symbol public void serviceChanged(ServiceEvent event){ ^ symbol: class ServiceEvent location: class Activator Activator.java:45: error: cannot find symbol if(event.getType() == ServiceEvent.REGISTRED) ^ symbol: variable ServiceEvent location: class Activator Activator.java:49: error: cannot find symbol else if (event.getType() == ServiceEvent.UNREGISTRED) ^ symbol: variable ServiceEvent location: class Activator Activator.java:53: error: cannot find symbol else if (event.getType() == ServiceEvent.MODIFIED) ^ symbol: variable ServiceEvent location: class Activator 12 errors c:\classes\tutorial\exp1> it s obvious that i have an issue with the dependencies but how to fix that ? i dunno if this would help, but my tutorial java file is saved under c:/classes/... while my felix-framework is under d:/felix-framework-4.0.2... does this have anything to do with it? am i supposed to have the tutorial under felix for instance or something? cheers,
