Re: Unable to add plug-in IRSIM

[Bryan Buckley]

I am able to use it now.

I think the problem was in two parts.

When using the command line, with the correct parameters, I would get this error. I moved the files to a shorter path name on my file system and it worked. 

The other part of the problem was with my using a shortcut to try to launch Electric with IRSIM. The target was:

java -classpath "electricBinary-8.09.jar;electricIRSIM-8.09.jar" com.sun.electric.Launcher

but i had a parameter for "Start In." Removing the parameter allowed me to use the shortcut to launch Electric with IRSIM, as long as the shortcut is in the same folder as IRSIM.jar and electric.jar.

Thank You,
Bryan

just like in the documentation online.

I get this error message:

Could not find the main class: com.sun.electric.Launcher.  Program will exit.

In electric I can not select the option of doing IRSIM like in the tutorials.

Can you use the same command to start Electric without IRSIM?  That is, can you type:

     java -classpath "electricBinary-8.09.jar" com.sun.electric.Launcher

This is testing whether your jar file is corrupted.

If this works, then are you using the correct separator character (you use ";" but some systems need ":").

Finally, can you connect multiple jar files with this technique?  Try downloading the bean shell and make it the second jar file in that command.
