java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: java.text.DecimalFormat

Mon Nov 30 15:39:00 GMT 2009

Hi folks,
I'm pretty new to GCJ, however I have been making good progress. I've 
managed to resolve quite a few issues.
I have reached a problem I'm really struggling to resolve though.
I'm successfully compiling my project and have managed to resolve quite a 
few "NoClassDefFoundError"s, by various methods.
However the fix for this one is really eluding me...
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: 
java.text.DecimalFormat
 at gnu.xml.transform.Stylesheet.initDefaultDecimalFormat
I have the following in my code to try and force linking...
private static final Class class3 = java.text.DecimalFormat.class;
static { java.text.DecimalFormat.class.getName(); }
I have a version of rt.jar that I know definitely contains 
java/text/DecimalFormat.class that is being compiled.
I'm using the following flags:
-Wl,--allow-multiple-definition
-findirect-dispatch
Can anyone give me a few pointers as to what I need to do to get this class 
included in my binary?
Thanks in advance
Keith
