This is likely a very simple issue. I've never tried to run a java .jar library on debian before.
I wonder if it may just be a matter of learning how to correctly setting the CLASSPATH before issuing the java command on .jar libraries held in /usr/share/java/. I could not find any clear guidance about the usual CLASSPATH practice on debian. For all commands discussed below, no CLASSPATH variable has been defined. (I run sarge. Java is from blackdown j2re1.4 and j2sdk1.4. Installed without a hitch.) App in question is a timekeeper program. See http://www.taubler.com/timebox/. No errors if I switch to the .jar file directory and issue this command: $ java -jar tt.jar But if if try either of the following commands from an outside directory, the errors shown below commands appear: $ java -jar /usr/share/java/tt.jar $ java -classpath /usr/share/java/tt.jar -jar /usr/share/java/tt.jar Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NullPointerException at javax.swing.ImageIcon.<init>(ImageIcon.java:161) at com.taubler.timebox.submit.SubmitExtensionWidget.<init>(SubmitExtensionWidget.java:16) at com.taubler.timebox.submit.SubmitManager.<init>(SubmitManager.java:52) at com.taubler.timebox.TimeTracker.<init>(TimeTracker.java:54) at com.taubler.timebox.TimeTracker.main(TimeTracker.java:1115) Thanks.
