unable to use the jar file

[pvssvikas]

Hello idsecurity,

I might be hitting very basic issue, can you please help me use the application. I could not find SNAPSHOT.jar as being mentioned in README.md

java -jar LDIFCompare-1.4.jar --help
Error: Could not find or load main class se.idsecurity.ldifcompare.LdifUtilities

I see the class file present in jar, but some how it is not helping.

Thanks,
-Vikas.

Hello,

The documentation in this is incorrect, it should be LDIFCompare-1.4.jar, the file in the release (https://github.com/idsecurity/LdifCompare/releases/download/v1.4/LDIFCompare-1.4-bin.zip)

Can you provide me with more details:

1. Which OS?
2. Which Java version? Run java -version

Thanks

1. Mac OS
2. java version "1.8.0_60"
   Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_60-b27)
   Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.60-b23, mixed mode)

Hello,

I'm unable to reproduce this since I don't have a Mac.

I tested with 1.8.0_60 for Windows and it works here.

Can you try with a newer Java version and see if there is any difference?

Thanks

Hi,
I'm having the same issue. I'm on CentOS Linux 7 (Core) and using the following:
openjdk version "1.8.0_232"
OpenJDK Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_232-b09)
OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.232-b09, mixed mode)

Please suggest the resolution.

Thanks.

@mohammedtuhin, I can't reproduce the error.
What happens when you run java -jar LDIFCompare-1.4.jar ?
I have tried OpenJDK 1.8.0_232 on CentOS 7 Core and it works for me.

It gives me the following error:
Error: Could not find or load main class se.idsecurity.ldifcompare.LdifUtilities

Can you run the following command:
md5sum LDIFCompare-1.4.jar

You should get the following result:
0969e447fcaff60c2b28a0dcd89b5246 LDIFCompare-1.4.jar

[mohammedtuhin]

on my Mac, I have md5, but it gives a different result

md5 LDIFCompare-1.4.jar
MD5 (LDIFCompare-1.4.jar) = c603488848b2ae079ead91f21ef813f9

[mohammedtuhin]

I even tried it on CentOS Linux 7 (Core). When I do the md5 check, I get a different value.
md5sum LDIFCompare-1.4.jar
a5baa13df55d58df60381b82e6485fd8 LDIFCompare-1.4.jar

I don't know what file you have downloaded but that is a wrong checksum. Try to download it again from the releases page.
I assume you unzipped the file?
