Looks like the build was in an inconsistent state, after the tomcat-download failed… Can you try from a clean build again (do a ant demo.stop and demo.clean or maybe unzip the distro again), making sure the tomcat zip is in the download folder.

hi frederik,

as you suggested i deleted my entire activiti setup and set up a new one
the same error appears while i had the tomcat zip in my download folder
BUT
i mentioned that a new download folder was created on the desktop
i put the tomcat zip into THIS fodler and tried it again and it worked!

now i see the broswer window and can login as kermit
^^

thank you.

but the eclipse problem is already the same.
all 51 errors appear as before due i deleted the imports and imported them
again.

have you a hint on this term? =/

Looks like the lib's aren't in the right place. Can you try adding the libraries yourself to the eclipse-classpath? They should be in the setup directory somewhere…

can you tell me how i have to do that, please?

activiti-starte — Mon, 05 Sep 2011 11:37:20 GMT

the problem is still the same 😕
i also tried to run the ant examples.inflate command but it doesn't change anything

one question besides: is there a guide to activiti in german?
the only guide, main guide from the activiti page, is in english
i didn't found something simmilar on the web in german. does someone know
a resource for that?

update:
i tried something different
i downloaded the activiti-5.3 build and imported the examples from there
and they cause no errors =/

Hi it's me again ^^

after a long night i figured out a working setup for Activiti
I used the Activiti release 5.4 (the one wich worked)

If you are a Win7User without admin-rights, do the following
Follow the setup as showen in the guide for setting up ANT
and the JDK
now, you have to download the required files wich are asked for during the installation by hand.
These are:
- apache tomcat

- activiti-modeler
http://activiti.org/downloads/activiti-modeler-5.4.war

now unzip the activiti archive wich you downloaded (again, use version 5.4)
and create on the same level as the unzipped folder a new folder "downloads"
save the downloaded files from above into it.

next you can execute the ant demo.start command by navigating to the setup
file in the activiti-5.4 folder in your console.

The setup should run properly and all tools should been set up after a while for you since the setup didn't need
to download the files as it looks up form them in your created download folders

Greeting,
Activiti-starter

I've just hit the same problem I believe in the 5.7 distribution. In Eclipse, the .classpath file contains pointers to libraraies that don't exist in the distribution. For example the .classpath for the cxf-examples contains the following entries:

<classpathentry kind="lib" path="libs-runtime/commons-lang-2.4.jar"/>
<classpathentry kind="lib" path="libs-runtime/commons-logging-1.1.1.jar"/>
<classpathentry kind="lib" path="libs-runtime/cxf-api-2.1.2.jar"/>

the libs-runtime directory for the cxf example does not contain commons-lang-2.4.jar at all, does contain commons-logging-1.1.1.jar, and does not contain cxf-api-2.1.2.jar, but does contain cxf-api-2.3.1.jar.

Is the problem with the classpath file, or are there libraries missing from the distro?

I got the same issues when I imported the examples of distribution 5.7 into Eclipse (Indigo Release) , some jar files are missing which are in the classpath.

Project 'activiti-cxf-examples' is missing required library: 'libs-runtime/commons-lang-2.4.jar'
Project 'activiti-cxf-examples' is missing required library: 'libs-runtime/cxf-api-2.1.2.jar'
Project 'activiti-cxf-examples' is missing required library: 'libs-runtime/cxf-common-schemas-2.1.2.jar'
Project 'activiti-cxf-examples' is missing required library: 'libs-runtime/cxf-common-utilities-2.1.2.jar'
Project 'activiti-cxf-examples' is missing required library: 'libs-runtime/cxf-rt-bindings-soap-2.1.2.jar'
Project 'activiti-cxf-examples' is missing required library: 'libs-runtime/cxf-rt-bindings-xml-2.1.2.jar'
Project 'activiti-cxf-examples' is missing required library: 'libs-runtime/cxf-rt-core-2.1.2.jar'
Project 'activiti-cxf-examples' is missing required library: 'libs-runtime/cxf-rt-databinding-jaxb-2.1.2.jar'
Project 'activiti-cxf-examples' is missing required library: 'libs-runtime/cxf-rt-frontend-jaxws-2.1.2.jar'
Project 'activiti-cxf-examples' is missing required library: 'libs-runtime/cxf-rt-frontend-simple-2.1.2.jar'
Project 'activiti-cxf-examples' is missing required library: 'libs-runtime/cxf-rt-transports-http-2.1.2.jar'
Project 'activiti-cxf-examples' is missing required library: 'libs-runtime/cxf-rt-transports-http-jetty-2.1.2.jar'
Project 'activiti-cxf-examples' is missing required library: 'libs-runtime/cxf-rt-ws-addr-2.1.2.jar'
Project 'activiti-cxf-examples' is missing required library: 'libs-runtime/cxf-tools-common-2.1.2.jar'
Project 'activiti-cxf-examples' is missing required library: 'libs-runtime/FastInfoset-1.2.2.jar'
……..

Some of these libraries have the different version, some of them dose not exit in this distribution.

Does any one have the same problem and resolve it?

Same problem here with version 5.7, and i'm working on WindowsXP, so its not a problem with Windows7.
I get exactly 51 errors as stated above by "Activiti-Starter".

So perhaps its just an package error and some files are missing or build path is broken…

Re: Setup Activiti under Window7

halina9000 — Mon, 14 Nov 2011 21:12:05 GMT

Build path -> Configure Build Path…

then:

then find missing library (marked with white 'x' on red square)
double click it
try to find higher version of library in just opened directory
- if you found it click 'Open' button
- if not: try to find it in \setup\files\dependencies\libs directory
- if not: get it from activiti-5.3 directory ('ant inflate.examples' first!)

Re: Setup Activiti under Window7

Had the same problem with version 5.8.

It looks like the build path contains references to old jars. (for instance the cfx-api-2.1.2.jar is upgraded to cfx-api-2.3.1.jar)

To solve the problem I first removed for every eample project listed in the package explorer all the libraries on the libraries tab from the buildpath except the JRE System Library [jre6]. And then I added for each project all the jars found in the libs-runtime and libs-test subdirectories of the project.

Now the project builds with no errors.

So now which version are you using right now that works finally for you, please let me know.

Hi @ all,

sorry to push up an old topic but I've the same problem with the missing jars like Activiti-Starter, after following the installation guide and setup demo.
Is there an "automated" solution to get all required jars in the correct folders or why this missing jar problem is still alive in the new version (5.9)?
Tryed already "demo.clean" and the "examples.inflate".

thanks and regards
max

This problem is there even with activiti5.9.
Fix: Go to libraries configuration in eclipse and remove all the jars marked with red 'x'.
It seems the eclipse '.classpath' is built from an ant build file which consists of jars which are no more relevant. Eclipse reports errors for references of any jars that it cannot locate.
