URLClassLoader - NoClassDefFoundError

Recommended Posts

Hello everyone, I am currently working on a mod that will allow you to load a plugin for it. In order to do this, I load Hub.class from and external plugin jar and register it in the event bus. This allows the plugin to listen for events and do whatever I need it to do. Here is how I load Hub.class:
 

@Mod(modid="Example", name="Example", version="0.1")
public class Example
{
	@Mod.EventHandler
	public void preInit(FMLPreInitializationEvent event)
	{
		loadClass();
	}
  
	private void loadClass()
	{
		try
		{
        		URL[] jarFile = new URL[] { new URL("file:///C:/LC/lc.jar") }; // This is the path to my jar file containing Hub.class
			URLClassLoader loader = new URLClassLoader(jarFile, this.getClass().getClassLoader()); // Create a URLClassLoader
			Class<?> classToLoad = Class.forName ("net.canelex.lc.Hub", false, loader); // Find the class Hub.class (package is correct)
			Object object = classToLoad.getConstructor().newInstance(); // Create a new instance of it.
			classToLoad.getDeclaredMethod("init").invoke(object); // Run method 'init'
		
		} catch (Exception e)
		{
			e.printStackTrace();
		}
	}
}

 

Here is the class Hub inside of an external plugin jar:

 

public class Hub
{
	
	public void init()
	{
		FMLCommonHandler.instance().bus().register(this); // Register itself into event bus.
		MinecraftForge.EVENT_BUS.register(this);
		System.out.println("Registered.");
	}
	
	@SubscribeEvent
	public void onKey(InputEvent.KeyInputEvent event)
	{
		System.out.println("Key Pressed!");
	}

}

 

So currently, the mod registers the Hub class to the event bus and prints "Registered" into the console. However, as soon as the player presses a key, NoClassDefFoundError is thrown and the game crashes. Because of this, I know that an instance of Hub.class was registered in the event bus, but when the event is called something goes wrong. Can anyone please help me fix this error / point out what I am doing wrong? Thanks!

May I ask why? Just put the "plugin" jar into the mods folder and it will be added to the classpath automatically.

If I did that it would be loaded as a mod itself. Pus, I eventually want to make it so that you can load plugins at runtime.

Only if the jar file has a file annotated by @Mod. Other JAR files won't get loaded as mods and will simply be put in the classpath.

There are certain things which can only be done on game startup (i.e. block/item registry), so you won't be able to add those at runtime.

Don't PM me with questions. They will be ignored! Make a thread on the appropriate board for support.

1.7.10 and older versions of Minecraft are no longer supported due to it's age! Update to the latest version for support.

Thank you! Putting the plugin jar in the mod folder did the trick!
