Is guestbook.xml located on the classpath? In your case, it would have to be located in the current working directory ".". On a Linux/Unix environment, you should be able to see this:
$ cd my-jooq-test-dir $ ls guestbook.xml jooq-2.3.0.jar jooq-codegen-2.3.0.jar jooq-meta-2.3.0.jar mysql-connector-java-5.1.13-bin.jar And if you see all of the above, then you can run the following (as you tried): $ java -classpath jooq-2.3.0.jar:jooq-codegen-2.3.0.jar:jooq-meta-2.3.0.jar:mysql-connector-java-5.1.13-bin.jar:. org.jooq.util.GenerationTool /guestbook.xml Cheers Lukas 2012/5/21 name256 <[email protected]>: > Hi, > > I have just downloaded 2.3 and I am having a torrid time running the code > generator.
