Using epubcheck .jar with Java
I'm having issues getting the epubcheck-1.2.jar + JAVA combination to work correctly. I've gone through as much troubleshooting as I can figure out and I'm still getting the same errors.
This is what I'm doing to run the check and the subsequent errors. This is the setting I have currently to *attempt* to correctly assign java to my PATH in the environment variables. And, yes, I have tried using the jre6\bin line but with no success. Am I writing my path line incorrectly? Do I have it assigned to the wrong folder/file? I'm not a programmer and I'm trying to understand Java enough to run this checker locally since I develop a high volume of books. Any help is appreciated! ----Erin Campbell ----eBook Developer ----TIPS Technical Publishing, Inc. |

Since this has nothing to do with eBook reading and is about ePub generation I am moving this thread to the ePub forum where the experts are.

As an experiment I downloaded and installed the same version into C:\Tools\ePubCheck.
Executing it as Quote:
Double check that you have the jar file on your desktop AND a lib folder present there as well that should contain jing.jar and saxon.jar. |

Thank you, This was VERY helpful. What all of the "how-to" threads neglect to mention is that when you go to http://code.google.com/p/epubcheck/downloads/list you need to download the SOURCE *and* BINARY .zip files.
Most, if not all, only instruct to "download epubcheck-1.2.zip" which, well, was not terribly elaborate enough of a, ahem, command. I hope others find this thread helpful! |

Of course you can also use FlightCrew, which blows epubcheck out of the water...

Use FlightCrew and once FlightCrew says it's all OK, run it through ePubCheck and it should also say all is OK.
