Thanks for that.  I can't believe it was that simple!  The TOS program was installed in Program Files so there was a space in the path.  I re-installed elsewhere and it worked fine.

We at MAST-ICT are trying to carry out an evaluation of Talend for Data Integration (Ver. 5.1.1.r84309 for a number of our clients. To help pursue this I am attempting to follow through your on-line tutorials but I seem to have fallen at almost the first hurdle! I'm trying to create an input from a delimited file ( customer_demo5mn.csv file). The data shows OK in the File Viewer but when I try to Preview the file I get the following output:



java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: testproject/shadowfileinputtodelimitedoutput_0_1/ShadowFileInputToDelimitedOutput

Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: testproject.shadowfileinputtodelimitedoutput_0_1.ShadowFileInputToDelimitedOutput

Could not find the main class: testproject.shadowfileinputtodelimitedoutput_0_1.ShadowFileInputToDelimitedOutput. Program will exit.


Preview error. Some settings must be changed.

Note: Preview errors are generally due to a wrong encoding setting.

I have tried all combinations of settings but with no success. Help please!
