Metadata Preview problem : java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError

[_AnonymousUser]

Hi,
Anyone seen the following problem?:
- Project using Java Generation (not seen in Perl)
- Open Studio 4.0.2 and 4.1.0
- Seen when generating File Delimited Metadata Preview for an ordinary .csv file: Get error below.
- I can see main in ala_test/shadowfileinputtodelimitedoutput_0_1/ShadowFileInputToDelimitedOutput.java
I'm a newby, so I expect that I've done something stupid. Help is appreciated.
Thanks,
Diarmuid

Fixed!
It seems that the Talend Open Studio installation fails silently when done on a path containing a space. Fair enough, you Unix-heads say, but Windows encourages applications to be installed to 'Program Files'.
Specifically, the Workspace is not set up correctly with only 1 sub-directory structure created (.JETEmitters). .Java, .metadata, and the project specific directories are not created.
Solution: Un-Install & re-install to somewhere other then 'Program Files'.

but you also have to ensure that your workspace is in the local disk when using windows

Hi,
I have the exact same problem. I made sure that my workspace, JDK, Open Studio, everything is on C: drive and none of these have a space in their path.
I have JDK 1.7 installed and Open Studio TOS_DI-20150702_1326-V6.0.0.
Can you please help me here?

Hi Mehul 
Are you on a 32-bit or 64-bit machine? Make sure you have installed the correct JDK version for your operating system. 
Do you have any error messages generated in the log file which is located in <talend studio install dir>/workspace/.metadata/?
Best regards

Hi Shong,
Thank you for your quick response.
I'm on 64bit machine. I've installed JDK jdk-7u79-windows-x64 on my C:\Dev_Exp\ folder.
This is the JDK I'm referring to in my Open Studio, the same is set as JAVA_HOME and added to PATH variable.
I could find a log file created in my workspace/.metadata. I've attached the same to this thread.
