How to resolve `error starting spoon shell`?

Question

I'm porting Pentaho kettle to apache hop and I followed the steps given in this document, after changing the dependencies build was successful but got an error while starting spoon.sh file

Below was the error I caught when I run spoon.sh

Has anyone run into this before? Do you have a resolution?

Answer 1

I am not sure what you are trying to do, but Apache Hop does not have a spoon.sh file. To start the GUI you have to use the hop-gui.sh file.

It seems you have copied over the spoon.sh file?

If you are porting over a step/job entry to a Hop Transform or Action there is a sample repository available here you can use the code in there as a base to see what has to be done to get everything running in Hop.

If you have specific questions you can also contact the developers on the mailing list
