problem in launching JCrypTool from the source code

Hi, I’m having problems launching JCrypTool, most of the errors stem from the import org.bouncycastle cannot be resolved, as the picture here shows:

I am using jdk 16 and maven 3.6.3. I thought of two solutions, one is adding a bouncycastle dependency in the pom of the project org.jcryptool.releng in the hope that it will be inherited to all the children projects, as the picture shows, but it doesn’t work; the other is to download the JARs of bouncycastle and add them to the build path of org.jcryptool.releng, but somehow there is no “Java Build Path” configuration for this project.

I’ve run out of ideas and need some help. Many thanks.

After going over the setup process, I can launch JCrypTool from the source code. Thanks for such a quick response! 😄

Hi,

admirable effort, getting that far in debugging the issue 😃 I fixed the issue now — the problem was that we changed the way bouncycastle was integrated into our target; also, org.apache.commons.codec was not in our core feature as it should be.

Perform a git pull on the core repository for this to work.

If you refresh the target platform now, and refresh your run configuration which embodies it, you should be fine. Alternatively, you could re-run the JCrypTool setup guide with a different path for the git repositories.

Refresh target platform: Open org.jcryptool.core.target/org.jcryptool.core.target.target and click on “Refresh target platform” Refresh Run configuration: Click on the drop down menu of the green “Run” icon in the eclipse toolbar. Click Run Configurations.... Locate the jcryptool.product entry on the left. Delete it via its context menu. Go to the project org.jcryptool.product, select the jcryptool.product file, “Synchronize…” and “Start a RCP Application”.

This is the “all steps included” process to react to the change in a target platform from git upstram in an eclipse workspace, sorry this is so convoluted ^^. Hope this helps!
