Release 0.6.1 jar is missing some dependencies

[DavidBiesack]

I downloaded the 0.6.1 release jar from the Releases page and tried running

java -jar /u/sasdjb/java/lib/japicmp-0.6.1-jar-with-dependencies.jar -o old.jar -n new.jar

and got an error

E: Class not found: com.jayway.jsonpath.Configuration$Defaults
See '--help' or '-h' for more information.

Perhaps the release jar is not properly assembled.

(P.S. Please add instructions to the README for how to run the tool)

It looks like the class com.jayway.jsonpath.Configuration$Defaults is missing on your classpath. To get a fast result you can use the command line switch --ignore-missing-classes.

The next release should have a more expressive error description.

You can also add additional dependencies to the classpath like you would do for a normal standalone application (see for example here):

java -cp japicmp-0.6.1-jar-with-dependencies.jar;otherLibrary.jar japicmp.JApiCmp -n new-version.jar -o old-version.jar

Ok, this is reporting a class that my jar depends on; I thought perhaps it was a jar that japicmp depends on but which was missing from japicmp-0.6.1-jar-with-dependencies.jar
Using --ignore-missing-classes gave me a valid report.

I have improved the error message for the next release. I hope this will make it more clear.

E: Could not load 'org.apache.commons.math3.stat.inference.TTest'. Please make sure that all libraries have been added to the classpath (CLASSPATH=) or try the option '--ignore-missing-classes'.
See '--help' or '-h' for more information.
