new operator does not work on mac

[navyboys]

i created an operator, put it in the correct place(com.rapidminer.operator.clustering.clusterer), and also add operator's info to OperatorCore.xml and OperatorCoreDocumentation.xml, built the project again, but the new operator does not work properly. error messages like this:

i did the same thing on Windows, it works correctly.

anyone can give me some ideas to fix this?

Hi,

this sounds like RapidMiner is somehow missing libraries to work properly. Does this thread help you: click?

hi,

i checked out the latest source from svn  (https://rapidminer.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/rapidminer/Vega)  and found nothing different from environment (/libs ) on Windows, which rapidminer runs well on it.

in the post http://rapid-i.com/rapidforum/index.php/topic,4406.0.html ,
someone says that
--
These are the necessary libraries (even if there is no error message if some are missing!!):

encog.jar
jep.jar
joone-engine.jar
jxl.jar
launcher.jar
mail.jar
rapidminer.jar
vldocking.jar
--

i checked out my libs, there's no
- launcher.jar
- rapidminer.jar
how can find these two jars?
i can't find them from svn. 

[Marco Boeck]

Hi,

you can use the Ant build file to create these (via createJar).

hi,

i put all the jar files into the /lib, but nothing changed.
any other ideas?

[Marco Boeck]

Hi,

do you use Eclipse? If so, you can try and post the content of the .classpath file from the project here.
However if your project setup is 100% identical to your windows machine and it works on windows but not on mac, it sounds like some mac problem with which I cannot help you..

Marco

Hi,

your .classpath file is missing the entries for the rapidminer.jar and the launcher.jar
