Exception running the command: java -cp ".:filters-1.2.5.jar" com.matecat.converter.Main

[stevennt]

I have built as per the instruction in the wiki. All configurations were default: https://github.com/matecat/MateCat-Filters/wiki/Build-and-run

Running it produced the below exception. What could be the problem? Thanks in advance.

java -cp ".:filters-1.2.5.jar" com.matecat.converter.Main

Hi @stevennt the stack trace you posted is usually shown when config.properties file is not found.

You should put the config.properties file in the same folder as the jar file and issue the launch command from there.

You can use filters/src/main/resources/config.sample.properties sample file as a start to create your own config.properties
