Allocate memory

[Dimiter Stamenov]

Thanks you all for your help - the problem really appeared not to be in memory allocation - it works fine. Sorry for this confusion.

The problem is in a jar file (poi.jar from apache poi project) - the whole jar is compiled successfully, but the application can not find a class which actually is in the jar file.

Do you have any idea how to fix it?

The stack trace is:

java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org.apache.poi.hpsf.SummaryInformation
   at java.lang.Class.initializeClass(MyApp.exe)
   at org.apache.poi.hpsf.PropertySetFactory.create(MyApp.exe)
   at org.apache.poi.POIDocument.getPropertySet(MyApp.exe)
   at org.apache.poi.POIDocument.readProperties(MyApp.exe)
   at org.apache.poi.hwpf.HWPFDocument.<init>(MyApp.exe)
   at org.apache.poi.hwpf.extractor.WordExtractor.<init>(MyApp.exe)
   at org.apache.poi.hwpf.extractor.WordExtractor.<init>(MyApp.exe)

Thanks
Dimiter
