NoClassDefFoundError: javax.media.Format

I built a Java app using NetBeans on Windows, but get the above
exception when attempting to start my app.jar on Linux. I know the
problem is caused by the IBM JVM not finding jmf.jar but I don't have
the solution.

Using the Library Manager in NetBeans on Windows, the classpath is set
to ....\artifacts\libs\jmf\jmf.jar . Is this path embedded in my
app.jar file? If it is, I cannot simulate it on Linux because the
classpath contains a drive C:\ ...

Can you run the application on Windows ..without using NetBeans?

Is JMF installed on the Linux PC?

The app runs fine on Windows using java -jar App.jar in a console
window.

Yes, JMF is installed on the Linux PC. I tried setting the CLASSPATH
env variable, but to no avail.

Sun recommends you do not add jar's to an environment
variable, but at run-time (AFAIR - JMF breaks from that slightly).

Try adding the jmf.jar to the classpath at the moment you're
running your application from the command line.

Note that there are one or two more things we can check
here on c.l.j.p, but that JMF also has its own dedicated forum
here.. <http://forum.java.sun.com/forum.jspa?forumID=28>

I found the solution in a Sun developer forum; thanks to Andrew for
pointing it out.

Copy jar files from:
