Part of my application uses the poi project to extract text from a word doc file, this works fine when running from within netbeans, but as soon as i run it from outside, like from the command line, it crashes. I was wondering if anyone knew any common problems it could be for me to try as i can't seem to find the issue here....
How about telling us what "crashes" means?
Though my guess is that the answer is here: FAQ, first entry
http://access1.sun.com/FAQSets/newtojavatechfaq.html
Explanations and solutions to NoClassDefFoundErrors (and other problems) would also easily be found by copy-and-pasting the error message into the search box.
(I assume either no classpath is set, or the POI JAR isn't included.)
No i dont think that's my problem, classpath contains all relevant jars etc, I've had it up and running fine previously but now when it runs it basically just freezes my computer and needs to be closed from the task manager(sorry don't know the proper term hence my general 'crash' description), so I'm not getting any clues from error messages and the like, but being a bit inexperienced I just wondered if there were any other obvious problems that would cause this that i can look at
