Cannot determine current directory

Question

I am trying to run a .jar file that was created successfully in Netbeans and I am receiving the following error:

Error occurred during initialization of V

Answer 1

I was getting the same error message, but I'm not sure if it was for the same reason as I don't use Netbeans. I use my terminal and compile with ant.

I cd'd to a directory to run a javafile.class file. The file I want to run is part of a bigger package. The directory structure of the package looked something like this: a/b/c/javafile.class. The a, b, and c directories are all part of a larger package.

To run my javafile.class, I cd'd into a and ran the file from there: java b/c/javafile. After I made some changes and recompiled with my ant script, the directory I was in had been deleted and remade by ant. So, when I ran javafile.class again, I got the error you're getting.

I fixed my problem by cding out of the directories that are deleted and remade by ant and then running my javafile.class again.
