Error! A startup class specified in smack-config.xml could not be loaded

After a long time I picked up smack again for some deving.

I downloaded the latest version (1.4.1) for linux and gave it a go.

I unpacked the files in $home/java/smack-1.4.1 and made this small test program

import org.jivesoftware.smack.*;

public class JabTalk {

public static void main(String [] args) throws Exception {

XMPPConnection conn = new XMPPConnection(“Jabber.org”);

}

}

I compiled it with this command:

matthias@prometheus:~/java$ javac -classpath ./smack-1.4.1/smack.jar JabTalk.java

So far, that didn’'t do any errors. Then I tried to run it (no stdout on the prompt)

matthias@prometheus:~/java$ java -classpath ./smack-1.4.1/smack.jar: JabTalk

Now I do get errors:

Error! A startup class specified in smack-config.xml could not be loaded: org.jivesoftware.smackx.ServiceDiscoveryManager

Error! A startup class specified in smack-config.xml could not be loaded: org.jivesoftware.smackx.XHTMLManager

This is my version of the JDK:

matthias@prometheus:~/java$ java -version

java version “1.5.0”

Java™ 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.5.0-b64)

Java HotSpot™ Client VM (build 1.5.0-b64, mixed mode, sharing)

Can someone please help me out here?? What does this mean? What can I do?

my bad.

solved it again: didn’'t import the smackx class at the start of the program.

classpath is givin’’ me headaches though.
