java classpath error in xsl-mode

java classpath error in xsl-mode

[John Burke]

For some reason that's beyond me, when I attempt to transform an xml 
file using an xsl transform (using xslide), I get the following error:

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: 
com/jclark/xsl/sax/Driver

Now, the odd thing is that if I execute the *same* command from a shell 
it works fine.  (and FWIW, I use xemacs on linux with a similar config 
and it also works just fine.)  I have a sinking suspicion that it's 
related to my platform:  Mac OSX.  -- those forward slashes don't look 
right, and the command definitely was ...com.jclark.xsl.sax.Driver...)

How are you starting emacs?  Perhaps it doesn't have some necessary
environment variables set -- you could test that theory by starting
emacs from the shell where the command works.

Yep.  That was true. Typing “printenv” revealed my CLASSPATH simply
was not set in Emacs...

Tho I heard that applications needed envars set in
~/.MacOS/environment.plist, this also doesn’t work w/ Emacs.

Turns out the fix was quite simple: simply declare the environment
variable in .emacs thusly:

(setenv “CLASSPATH”
“/usr/local/xt/xt.jar:/usr/local/xt/sax.jar:/usr/local/xp.jar”)

Thx,

This mechanism works very well on Mac OS X. The problem is that you  
need to log off and in again to make it work. (Make a test with  
another account and fast user switching enabled as in Tiger!)

This file is read at login time and its settings are put into the  
process' environment. Each other process created from this one  
inherits these variables. And they do go down to GNU Emacs (the X  
client), as they also reach Carbon Emacs or Emacs.app, and exist in  
Terminal.
