explain.bat / density.explain

[acully]

When I try to run the explain tool from my output, I am getting an error saying cannot find or load main class density.explain

I used to run this tool all the time, and now it does not seem to be working...  anyone out there have any insight or suggestions on this?

Thanks in advance!

Dear allison
You must remove your java software and reinstall another java in new version.
I hope that this way useful for you.
Cheers

I don't think there's any evidence for needing a new Java installation. I think this is much more likely to be a problem with the .jar path you're supplying. 

If your maxent path is not in your PATH variable, and you're not invoking the command from the folder within which your maxent.jar is located, then you need to provide the full path to maxent.jar, e.g.,

java -cp C:\Users\John\Documents\software\maxent_3.3.3\maxent.jar density.Explain 

You also need to provide the full path to the prediction (the .asc you want to interrogate), and the predictors (the folder containing the predictor grids).

A full example is:

java -cp C:\Users\John\Documents\software\maxent_3.3.3\maxent.jar density.Explain C:\GIS\maxent_output\species1.asc C:\GIS\all_preds_asc_baseline

If that doesn't work, post the command you're using here, and I'll take a look.

I am receiving a similiar error.  I have attached the code.  I put the path to maxent.jar/path to prediction/folder containing the predictor grids.

Do you know why I am getting these "class" errors?

Hi Kris,

Are you sure that the path pointing to maxent.jar is correct?

Try navigating to the path, and then:

java -cp maxent.jar density.Explain

This should return something like:

Usage: density.Explain [-l lambdafile] predictionFile predictorsDirectory

Yes, I thought I was 100% sure of that. I have 2 versions of Maxent that are in different areas on my computer. NOt sure if that has something to do with it.  I will try again and report back.

 

Thank you
