Jacman Error

Hmmmm.  I typically don't use GUI's too much, but thought I'd give jacman a try just to see how it looked, since a number of people mentioned it's the best front-end for pacman.

I get the following when I try to start it up though:

Exception in thread "AWT-EventQueue-0" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: com/jgoodies/plaf/plastic/PlasticXPLookAndFeel

Thanks!

Re: Jacman Error

How did you install it and how did you run it?

Someone else emailed me about a similar problem and he had problems running Jacman when they built directly from the PKGBUILD. If this is what you did, could I suggest you go to the Jacman project page (see my sig) and download the pre-built pkg.tar.gz, then pacman -A /path/to/jacman-0.2-1.pkg.tar.gz and that should run smoothly.

Re: Jacman Error

Yep, I built it straight from the PKGBUILD.

I just loaded it from your pre-built package and it worked fine. 

Thanks!

Re: Jacman Error

take a look at the "jacman.properties" file inside "jacman-<version>.jar
it should be a property there called "jacman.disposeMainMenu=true" there..
make that property false, and it should not dispose the main menu after update

Re: Jacman Error

Well said JA. I forgot to mention that the few options in the properties file are explained in the Readme file.
