java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: java.awt.Container

Question

I am trying to install Visual Paradigm for UML. During the installation it crashes. This is the stack trace:

Unpacking JRE ...

It appears that the installer can't find a class in the WT library. I can't see how how that can be possible. Does anyone know what is causing this, and how I may fix it?

On ubuntu 14.04 the answer given by Hayden didn't work for me as the package doesn't exist.

This did work though:

apt-get install libxtst6:i386

i.e. it needs the 32 bit version of libxtst

I'm also on Ubuntu 14.04, and this was the solution for me. – billyw Jul 21 '14 at 04:07

I have had the same problem installing SoapUI software and this command works for me:

$ ./soapUI-x32-4.6.0.sh -J-Djava.awt.headless=true

My system:

Linux 3.10-2-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 3.10.7-1 (2013-08-17) x86_64 GNU/Linux

And my JVM version:

$ java -version
    java version "1.6.0_30"
    Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_30-b12)
    Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 20.5-b03, mixed mode)

I was getting the same problem when trying to install Visual Paradigm on Ubuntu 12.10 64 bit.

Java version:

java version "1.7.0_11"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.7.0_11-b21)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 23.6-b04, mixed mode)

This seemed to fix the problem:

sudo apt-get install ia32-libs

When I run this command I get: Package ia32-libs is not available, but is referred to by another package. This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or is only available from another source However the following packages replace it: lib32z1 lib32ncurses5 lib32bz2-1.0 E: Package 'ia32-libs' has no installation candidate. I installed those packages but did not work. – juliangonzalez Apr 12 '14 at 19:42

Run the script with -J-Djava.awt.headless=true

sh SoapUI-x32-5.0.0.sh -J-Djava.awt.headless=true

sudo apt-get install libxi6 libxtst6 libxrender1

That did the trick! `libxrender1` was required for sure, the other two libraries I haven't tried to not install. – Dan Dascalescu Jun 25 '19 at 05:49

In my opinion, This could be problem with OpenJDK. try switching to official Oracle/Sun JDK with this command.

sudo update-java-alternatives -s java-6-sun

I tried your recommendation. but got the following response: `update-java-alternatives: directory does not exist: /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun` – Homunculus Reticulli Jan 02 '13 at 06:34
Oh, could you please check whether you've SUN/Oracle JDK installed on the box? – pratikch Jan 02 '13 at 10:08

You may use

`sudo update-java-alternatives -s java-6-oracle`

Instead of using

`sudo update-java-alternatives -s java-6-sun`

or try to change 6 with the version of Java that you used.
