Installation doesn't work..

I keep getting a NoClassDefFoundError for the a GLEventListener when I try to run the sample box tutorial thing… It works off JWS, but it won’t work through the command line, and when I execute it through Eclipse, the window pops up, but I just get a white screen…

I have all the Xith, JOGL, JOAL and even Vecmath and Misc jar files in my classpath system variable, and I even restarted my computer after copying all the required DLLs into the jre/bin as well as windows/system32 AND windows/system… So I have no idea why it doesn’t work… JARs are in jre/lib/ext, dlls are EVERYWHERE, I have classpaths going, made sure the jre java.exe came before the jdk java.exe in my PATH, etc… this is really wierd.

Can someone please tell me what the heck is wrong?
I’m running the 1.4.2 sdk and jre, on windows xp… used to have the 1.5 beta, but uninstalled it so now I only have ONE version of java… so that shouldn’t bethe problem.

i think xith3d really needs an installer… there are somehow 2 seperate versions of jogl.jar… one is smaller by about a dozen kb (i dont’ remember how much cuz i overwrote the larger one… i don’t know how i could have gotten two versions of the same file though because i’ve only been downloading from the “latest” folder or the complete third party files archive… yea anyways… k… finally… whew… woohooo… time to actually get something done… wow…when that beautiful multicolored box appeared… wow…

holy crud. it still doesn’t work with eclipse. omg. k the installation tutorial doesn’t really work… for some people at least…

remove every single copy of xith3d and related libraries and every instance of Java, install the latest Java STK, then and follow the instructions again.

If you can’t install it by correctly following the tutorial - an installer will not help you as all it does is automate the tutorial. Stuff like removing old versions, multiple java versions etc. would be pretty hard and dangerous to handle in an installer.
