How did you run openfire through Ant or Shell?

The ServerStarter is in startup.jar, make sure it is under your classpath.

I am using eclipse kepler.

I have created an openfire project by fetching the source code using git.

I am getting below error even after adding startup.jar and openfire.jar files in the classpath.

Error: Could not find or load main class org.jivesoftware.openfire.starter.ServerStarter

Can someone please help or suggest any other solution?

Don’t bother with startup.jar.

If you want to start Openfire from an IDE you need to put the src/java folder to your source folders/classpath.

Also the i18n folder and the resource/jar folder.
