Hi, I made very few changes in elasticsearch source code and I would like to run a binary(./elasticsearch -f) of it by command line in linux(ubuntu) after building it in intellij IDE. getting error like this: Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/ elasticsearch/bootstrap/ElasticSearch Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.elasticsearch.bootstrap.ElasticSearch at java.net.URLClassLoader$1.run(URLClassLoader.java:217) at java.security.AccessController.doPrivileged(Native Method) at java.net.URLClassLoader.findClass(URLClassLoader.java:205) at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClass(ClassLoader.java:321) at sun.misc.Launcher$AppClassLoader.loadClass(Launcher.java:294) at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClass(ClassLoader.java:266) Could not find the main class: org.elasticsearch.bootstrap.ElasticSearch. Program will exit. Please give me the solution. Thanks, Kalyan ---

The simplest way to do it is by running elasticsearch directly from IntelliJ. Create new run configuration by clicking Run-\>Edit Configurations-\>"+"-\>Application. Select org.elasticsearch.bootstrap.Bootstrap as a main class and paste the following VM option: -Des.foreground=yes Alternatively, you can run it from command line using the following command in the elasticsearch root directory: $ ES\_CLASSPATH="target/classes:target/lib/\*" bin/elasticsearch -f You just need to make sure that all dependencies are assembled in the target/lib directory by running $ mvn prepare-package -DskipTests On Monday, April 2, 2012 9:17:33 AM UTC-4, BARNEY wrote: > Hi, > > I made very few changes in elasticsearch source code and I would like > to run a binary(./elasticsearch -f) of it by command line in > linux(ubuntu) after building it in intellij IDE. > > getting error like this: > Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/ > elasticsearch/bootstrap/Elasticsearch > Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: > org.elasticsearch.bootstrap.Elasticsearch > at java.net.URLClassLoader$1.run(URLClassLoader.java:217) > at java.security.AccessController.doPrivileged(Native Method) > at java.net.URLClassLoader.findClass(URLClassLoader.java:205) > at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClass(ClassLoader.java:321) > at sun.misc.Launcher$AppClassLoader.loadClass(Launcher.java:294) > at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClass(ClassLoader.java:266) > Could not find the main class: > org.elasticsearch.bootstrap.Elasticsearch.

It is running fine in IntelliJ before I created new run configuration by clicking Run-\>Edit Configurations-\>"+"-\>Application.

Still I am not able to run it from command line.
