Error: Error creating class edu.stanford.nlp.util.ReflectionLoading$ReflectionLoadingException: Error creating edu.stanford.nlp.time.TimeExpressionExtractorImpl

[loretoparisi]

I get this error when having in the CLASSPATH the DeepLearning4J and ND4J jars. This happens only when initializing CoreNLP and DeepLearning4J, while the latter works alone.

[UPDATE]

For some reason it complains that it is missing jollyday-0.5.1.jar, that as soon as I add it to the class path, it changing the logging output like

[J38]

So are you saying you have an issue if you use the jollyday-0.4.9.jar instead?

[loretoparisi]

@J38 yes it works only with jollyday-0.5.1.jar.

[k-bx]

Putting a jollyday-0.5.1 doesn't change anything for me. Ubuntu 17.10:

[k-bx]

Sorry, adding --add-modules java.se.ee as a first parameter for the java executable fixed the issue for me

[fabrahman]

@k-bx my Java version is 11 and java.se is removed in this version, can you guide me in this respect? THanks

[k-bx]

@Hannabrahman not a Java person and not using this anymore, sorry. Maybe someone else could help.

[yauhen-info]

In my case, switching back to java 8 from java 11 worked.

[nitinthewiz]

For future reference - Install Java 8 from here and depending on your system, add the correct Path to your environment. To find the correct path, open your Settings (or system preferences) and find the Java pane. Click on the Java tab and View the list of Java runtimes. The path given there is the path you need to add to your environment.

[Drake-HeleneVeenstra]

Is there any solution possible without installing Java 8? I am working in Rstudio Workbench and have no rights to install a different Java version

[loretoparisi]

I confirm that it works with Java 8 / Java 9. I'm not aware of the other distro. I'm running corenlp-3.9.1 / Java9.

[AngledLuffa]

It's possible that upgrading to jollyday 5 will help, but that's a bigger undertaking that it initially appears, so it's definitely not on the short track for the bugfix release we're working on in the coming week or so.
