Unable to load java class from w3c

Question

I am trying to do OPTICS-clustering with ELKI (http://elki.dbs.ifi.lmu.de/).

I try do run the clustering with the provided gui, but then I get this exception:

Error in starting visualizer window.

I unzipped w3c.jar into /usr/share/java and into the path of the program. But it still gives me the same error.

I have quite an old Ubuntu (10.04) with OpenJDK version IcedTea6 1.13.3. But I guess that is not was is causing the trouble, right?

What to do?

Answer 1

I think you still have to add that jar into classPath and then it will be recognized.Im not sure what ide you use bud in netbeans for instance rightclick project>libraries>add jar/library.Then your classLoader shoudnt be complaining.
