Unable to use jide with JDK 1.6

[RajaRajeswari_V]

Hi,

We have been using jide in our application that was running on JDK 1.5. Now im trying to upgrade my appliaction to JDK1.6.
When i try to compile my code it was giving an RTE
Exception in thread "AWT-EventQueue-0" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: com/sun/java/swing/SwingUtilities2
at com.jidesoft.swing.JideSwingUtilities.drawStringUnderlineCharAt(Unknown Source)
.....

looking at other posts in the forum ..tried using jide-oss.jar instead of jide-common.jar, but now it is giving a CTE
The type com.jidesoft.swing.LayoutPersistence cannot be resolved. It is indirectly referenced from required .class files

Even if i use both jide-oss.jar and jide-common.jar with oss being in front of common, it is giving an RTE
Exception in thread "AWT-EventQueue-0" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: com/sun/java/swing/SwingUtilities2
at com.jidesoft.swing.JideSwingUtilities.drawStringUnderlineCharAt(Unknown Source)
at com.jidesoft.plaf.eclipse.EclipseMenuUI.paintText(Unknown Source)

Please let me know how do i resolve this error. Our license for jide products has got expired. My team is in the process of renewing it.Meanwhile any turnaround to fix this???

Thanks in Advance

You probably are using a very old JIDE release where we used SwingUtilities2. It has been fixed a long time ago. You just need to upgrade to the latest version to fix the issue. If you are waiting to get the password to the customer download area after purchasing the renewal, you can use the evaluation package for a while. The post at viewtopic.php?f=5&t=10 contains the download instruction for the evaluation package.

Unfortunately you cannot mix jide-oss.jar and jide-common.jar from different versions. If it is the same version, you can put jide-oss.jar before jide-common.jar in the class path and it will still run.

Thanks,
