java noob here. I am trying to compile a run a java program which uses stanford-corenlp-3.9.1.jar. I am trying to compile this using MacOS terminal. Following are the outputs of various commands
javac QuestionsToAnswer.java
This leads to huge list of errors
QuestionsToAnswer.java:5: error: package edu.stanford.nlp.trees does not exist
import edu.stanford.nlp.trees.Tree;
^
QuestionsToAnswer.java:6: error: package edu.stanford.nlp.trees.tregex does not exist
import edu.stanford.nlp.trees.tregex.TregexMatcher;
^
...
So instead I run this:
javac -cp stanford-corenlp-3.9.1.jar QuestionsToAnswer.java
This works as expected and creates a QuestionToAnswer.class file.
Then when I try to run the program
java QuestionsToAnswer
It gives me the following error:
Error: Unable to initialize main class QuestionsToAnswer
Caused by: java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: edu/stanford/nlp/trees/Tree
To fix this I add the classpath to the java command so that it is able to find the Tree Class from stanford's library
java -cp stanford-corenlp-3.9.1.jar QuestionsToAnswer
Then it gives me the following error:
Error: Could not find or load main class QuestionsToAnswer
Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: QuestionsToAnswer
After adding the classpath, java is not able to find my original class file which is already compiled and present in the directory. What am I doing wrong here?
