Error in RapidMiner.init();

ankit92

Hi

I am trying to write a simple code in Java that uses RapidMiner processes. Before I continue writing code for creating processes or operators, I wrote a single line code for initializing RapidMiner. Following error occurs as soon as RapidMiner.init() is executed. Can anyone help..

Hi,

it seems to be you are missing required libraries. Are you sure you do have all the required libs from the rapidminer/lib folder in your classpath? In this specific case the jep.jar seems to be missing for example.

Regards,
Marco
