Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: javax/activation/

[vastoncosta]

Hello,

After updating jvm, I can no longer use docx2tex to produce tex files from docx files with the ./d2t command. I use mac OS via terminal for conversions and currently I have the following version of java:
java version "1.8.0_211"
Java (TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_211-b12)
Java HotSpot (TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.211-b12, mixed mode).
I would like to know if the problem is really with the java version of my computer, if someone else has already encountered this problem and, if possible, what solution should I take to remedy the problem.

Thank you very much in advance.

Hi @vastoncosta ,
thank you for reporting this issue. Can you give me your OSX version? I mainly work with Linux and Windows, but I'll try to reproduce this error on a Mac.
Best, Martin

Hi @vastoncosta,

Unfortunately, I was not able to reproduce your error, but the DataSource class should be part of the JRE, so the bug should be related to your JRE installation. I tested docx2tex successfully on a MB Pro with MacOS v10.13.6. Here is what I did:

1. I got the JRE v1.8.0_211-b12 from the Oracle website and installed it
2. I opened a terminal and created ~/.bash_profile
3. Then I edited ~/.bash_profile and set $JAVA_HOME:
   export JAVA_HOME=/Library/Internet\ Plug-Ins/JavaAppletPlugin.plugin/Contents/Home
4. Finally, I run docx2tex and I got no error.

best, Martin

Hello,
I have the very same error with the current java Ubuntu 18.04:

± |master ?:3 ✗| → java --version
openjdk 11.0.4 2019-07-16
OpenJDK Runtime Environment (build 11.0.4+11-post-Ubuntu-1ubuntu218.04.3)
OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 11.0.4+11-post-Ubuntu-1ubuntu218.04.3, mixed mode, sharing)

do I need to install also the JRE? I am very ignorant about Java, my apologies.
Regards

We support only Java 1.7/1.8 yet. This will change when we move to XProc 3.0. For now, I would recommend to downgrade to Java 1.8.
