Android, RSA8, and java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: sun/security/x509/X500Name

I am experiencing the following runtime failure when trying to develop Android applications in IBM RSA 8.0.2.

NoClassDefFoundError: sun/security/x509/X500Name

This occurs when I run my Android app.

I believe this NCDF error is due to RSA8 using the IBM jre and not the Sun version.

However when I specify the Sun jre location in the eclipse.ini file (using the -vm option) RSA does not start.

When I do not specify any jre in the eclipse.ini file RSA fails to start.

When i leave the IBM jre l开发者_高级运维ocation in the jre, RSA starts fine, however i am unable to force RSA to use the Sun jdk as a runtime environment using the windows preferences options

Does anyone have any other ideas/knowledge of how to...

1. Use RSA8 to develop Android applications?
2. specify a jre in the eclipse.ini file other than the IBM-supplied one?

I resolved my problem with android development and IBM RSA V8.0.2

I managed to start RSA with the sun supplied jdk as follows:-

Edit the eclipse.ini file so that the only entry was the -vm <jdk location>/javaw.exe

I was able to launch the android hello world example OK

Hope this helps anyone else attempting to use a non "pure" eclipse IDE such as RSA

I had the same error and resolved it by changing the JRE location in the Preferences (Windows > Preferences > Java > Installed JREs). I pointed it to Sun Java6 JDK (not sure if it makes a difference for jre). Then restart the workbench. Restarting seems to be the key.

My ini file looked like this:

I changed it to this:

Now it works
