Bug Description

after upgrading from ubuntu 9.10 to 10.04 beta tuxguitar wouldn't launch anymore, instead it was crashing with this error message:

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/eclipse/swt/widgets/Control
at org.herac.tuxguitar.gui.TGMain.main(Unknown Source)
Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.eclipse.swt.widgets.Control

The problem was that the symlink /usr/share/java/swt.jar pointing to swt-gtk-3.5.1.jar was missing, creating it (or reinstalling the libswt-gtk-3.5 packages) fixed the problem.
This must be the same bug affecting the debian package:

I had this issue with vuze/azureus after upgrading to Ubuntu 10.04. (see bug duplicates).
FWIW, on other bug reports for amd64 someone said the re-install of swt didn't work for them.
I re-installed both libswt-gtk-3.5-java and libswt-gtk-3.5-jni (both v3.5.1) and it appears to have fixed the problem.

I also just upgraded from Karmic to Lucid (64 bit) and had the same problem. This command also solves it:

sudo ln -s /usr/share/java/swt-gtk-3.5.1.jar /usr/share/java/swt.jar

I hope you can tell me if this is still applicable, and wether it
happens only when you upgrade a dependent package (such as azureus), or
if you install latest swt by itself. I'm still having problems
reproducing this bug so far, and now tweaking the new upload i'm
preparing of both swt and azureus. Please let me know, and sorry about
the timing issue.
