LibMCS 0.7 batch file problem with win version

Hi,


the libmcs.bat batch file under WIN


starts with chemaxon.clustering.LibraryMCS


instead of the old GUI with chemaxon.clustering.gui.JKlustor





so with no option it generates an NPE. Shouldnt there be a help or version


output instead of NPE? This is confusing for first time users.

Code:

z:\libmcs.bat java.lang.NullPointerException         at chemaxon.clustering.JKlustorImport.isURL(JKlustorImport.java:80)         at chemaxon.clustering.JKlustorImport.getInputStream(JKlustorImport.java:86)         at chemaxon.clustering.LibraryMCS.main(LibraryMCS.java:1358)

This is in the Marvin 5.1 package, I created myself a batch file libmcsGUI.bat with the GUI as start.

Hi Tobias,





indeed, you're right, it's rather confusing. We will change this in the next version.





Thanks

Hi,


just updated to 5.1.4 and the error still exists.


C:\chemistry\JChem\bin>libmcs


java.lang.NullPointerException


at chemaxon.clustering.JKlustorImport.isURL(JKlustorImport.java:91)


at chemaxon.clustering.JKlustorImport.getInputStream(JKlustorImport.java:97)


at chemaxon.clustering.LibraryMCS.main(LibraryMCS.java:1405)


C:\chemistry\JChem\bin>





I think using the Marvin Beans installer also installs a link or EXE which works.

It'll be o.k. in 5.2. If there's a patch release before major release 5.2 is out then that patch should also fix this windows batch problem.


thanks


Miklos
