Apache Pivot - SerializationException when launching application

I started trying out Apache Pivot as I want to create java GUI's with XML.

I followed their Hello BXML tutorial using a maven project on their web site.

These are the files that I'm using:

HelloBXML.java

package za.co.iriesoft;

import org.apache.pivot.beans.BXMLSerializer;
import org.apache.pivot.collections.Map;
import org.apache.pivot.wtk.Application;
import org.apache.pivot.wtk.Display;
import org.apache.pivot.wtk.Window;

public class HelloBXML implements Application {
    private Window window = null;

    public void startup(Display display, Map<String, String> properties) throws Exception {
        BXMLSerializer bxmlSerializer = new BXMLSerializer();
        window = (Window) bxmlSerializer.readObject(HelloBXML.class, "hello.bxml");
        window.open(display);
    }

    public boolean shutdown(boolean optional) {
        if (window != null) {
            window.close();
        }

        return false;
    }

    public void suspend() {
    }

    public void resume() {
    }
}

hello.bxml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Window title="Hello BXML!" maximized="true"
    xmlns:bxml="http://pivot.apache.org/bxml"
    xmlns="org.apache.pivot.wtk">
    <Label text="Hello BXML!"
        styles="{font:'Arial bold 24', color:'#ff0000',
            horizontalAlignment:'center', verticalAlignment:'center'}"/>
</Window>

App.java

package za.co.iriesoft;

import org.apache.pivot.wtk.DesktopApplicationContext;

public class App {

    public static void main(String[] args) {

        DesktopApplicationContext.main(HelloBXML.class, args);

    }
}

When I run the application I get an exception:

Exception: An error occurred at line number 4 in file /C:/Apps/java/java-ws-client/target/classes/za/co/iriesoft/hello.bxml:

Does any one know what could be the problem? I been struggling the whole day trying different IDE's and searching Google and their bug database for an answer, but to no avail.

I am running on Windows 10, Java SDK 1.8.0_152

Solution

  • I'm guessing you don't have the "pivot-wtk-terra...jar" file in your classpath. The underlying error seems to be "A theme could not be located." That theme is this "...terra...jar" file.
