Unable to java -jar RSClient.java

[nwmeyers]

Hello bmoyer!

I am really interested in your client, however, I am unable to properly use it. I added Java to my path like mentioned (export PATH=$PATH:/usr/lib/jvm/java-8-openjdk-amd64/jre/ .... ). The error that I get is the following:

sudo java -jar osrsclient/dist/RSClient.jar Error: A JNI error has occurred, please check your installation and try again

It looks like it has to do with pircbotx, from looking at the error messages.

If you have any recommendations please let me know.

Thank you,

I have the same error.

You have to use netbeans. Open the project in netbeans, and everything will work fine.

Let me know if you have anymore problems.

I am curious if it would be possible to switch the whole GUI over to JavaFX. Can you load the applet into a JavaFX node somehow?

[bmoyer]

Sorry for my lack of a response on this issue. @nwmeyers' advice of opening/compiling using Netbeans should do the trick.

I haven't looked into JavaFX very much, but it is most likely possible to load the OSRS applet into a JavaFX interface. I'd actually like to rework the entire GUI using something like JavaFX, as Swing is pretty dated (hell, it was dated when I started the project..).

[richardgorman]

I've tried but unsuccessfully (I'm not well versed with Java). Perhaps we should work together? I want to make a osrs client just as a programming exercise

@richardgorman You can get this to build without netbeans with a modified setup. See:

https://github.com/trevorsenior/osrsclient/commit/ad9eceb3f766dd0d12b041853267e9c48b0d75db

I'm hacking away on this to learn a bit more about, well, how this kind of stuff works. I don't actually plan on doing anything serious with it.
