Could not find or load main class > org.jivesoftware.openfire.starter.ServerStarter

Question

Trying to run openfire server on Eclipse. I meticulously followed the instructions for "Openfire SVN + Eclipse 3.3 + Subversive Installation Guide". Unfortunately I've been hung up at a roadblock for quite sometime now. I attempt to run openfire and get...

Error: Could not find or load main class org.jivesoftware.openfire.starter.ServerStarter

Made a blury video of what I'm seeing here: http://youtu.be/I8UGp4CZpbo

Any insight, suggestions, help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance!

Answer 1
