I've installed a Java package called Antlr as /usr/local/java/Antlr/antlr-4.1-complete.jar. The installation instructions say to set up two aliases, one to execute the Antlr tool:
alias antlr='java -jar /usr/local/java/Antlr/antlr-4.1-complete.jar'
and another to execute the Antlr test tool:
alias grun='java org.antlr.v4.runtime.misc.TestRig'
The first alias works fine, but the second, which attempts to invoke a class inside the .jar file, fails with the message, "Error: Could not find or load main class org.antlr.v4.runtime.misc.TestRig".
Looking at the Java documentation, I see that a CLASSPATH environment variable is available to handle path issues:
"-classpath classpath
-cp classpath
Specify a list of directories, JAR archives, and ZIP archives to
search for class files. Class path entries are separated by
colons (:). Specifying -classpath or -cp overrides any setting of
the CLASSPATH environment variable."
My CLASSPATH variable was unset. I tried
export CLASSPATH=/usr/local/java:/usr/share/java
export CLASSPATH=/usr/local/java:/usr/share/java:/usr/share/java/Antlr/antlr-4.1-complete.jar
and
export CLASSPATH=/usr/local/java:/usr/share/java/*:/usr/share/java/*
but this has not resolved the problem.
What am I doing wrong?
