"Fail to initialize RM in Java"

wendy

Hi,

I just migrated to RM 5 and I want to use some RM operators in my Java application. But immediately I have this problem in initializing the RM. Please take a look at my code:

System.setProperty("rapidminer.home", "C:\\Program Files\\Rapid-I\\RapidMiner5");
RapidMiner.init();

I guess the code should be as simple as above.. right? But I received this error message:

2010-07-13 12:08:21 CONFIG: Locale not specified explicitly. Set default locale to US. (RapidMiner.init())
2010-07-13 12:08:21 CONFIG: Initializing I18N (RapidMiner.splashMessage())
2010-07-13 12:08:21 CONFIG: Ensuring RapidMiner Home is set (RapidMiner.splashMessage())

Can anybody please give me a clue about what's wrong here? Do I miss including any library here? I've imported the rapidminer.jar. But this thing 'com/rapid_i/Launcher' is said to be missing. I've tried to include launcher.jar too, but it didn't have any effect.

Thanks in advance,
Wendy

Hi Wendy,
you will need the rapidminer.jar as well as the launcher.jar in class path for integrating rapid miner. Probably you will have to include many of the other libs, but this depends on what you are going to do.

Greetings,

Thanks Sebastian.

I have tried including all other libraries and the problem still persists. I can't even initialize the RM. What's weird is, that I can do this with the older RM4.6.

Anyways, thanks for the suggestions. I'd try again later.
