Javah error while using it in JNI

Question

Command:

javah -jni JavaHowTo

Result:

error: cannot access JavaHowTo 
class file for JavaHowTo not found

javadoc: error -          


        

Answer 1

I encountered the same error and using http://www.inonit.com/cygwin/jni/helloWorld/header.html link I was able to successfully generate the .h file. I used the following command

C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_21\bin>javah -d C:\Prachi\Android\Workspace_QP_re
structure\HelloWorld\bin\example\jni -classpath C:\Prachi\Android\Workspace_QP_r
estructure\HelloWorld\bin example.jni.HelloWorld

here example.jni is my package name and C:\Prachi\Android\Workspace_QP_re structure\ is where my eclipse workspace path.

Hope this helps you

Answer 2

I had similar issues and used the -verbose option. I had to add a ; to the front of the classpath option.

C:\Projects\HelloWorld\src>javah -verbose -classpath c:\projects\HellowWorld\build\classes helloworld.HelloWorld
error: cannot access helloworld.HelloWorld
class file for helloworld.HelloWorld not found
javadoc: error - Class helloworld.HelloWorld not found.
[ Search Path: c:\jdk\jre\lib\resources.jar;c:\jdk\jre\lib\rt.jar;c:\jdk\jre\lib    \sunrsasign.jar;c:\jdk\jre\lib\jsse.jar;c:\jdk\jre\lib\jce.jar;c:\jdk\jre\lib\ch    arsets.jar;c:\jdk\jre\classes\c:\projects\HellowWorld\build\classes ]
Error: No classes were specified on the command line.  Try -help.

C:\Projects\HelloWorld\src>javah -verbose -classpath ;c:\projects\HellowWorld\build\classes helloworld.HelloWorld

Without the ;, this is the end of the search path: c:\jdk\jre\classes\c:\projects\HellowWorld\build\classes

I was able to get this far because of the examples above.
