1.4 libs: java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: com/pi4j/component/relay/Relay

[kurt-lefevre]

I use the Pi4J libraries to control 2 relays on a PiFace Digital board. Up till version 1.3 everything worked fine.
With the 1.3 distro I need following libs: pi4j-core.jar, pi4j-device.jar and pi4j-gpio-extension.jar

I downloaded the 1.4 libs (pi4-distribution) from https://search.maven.org/search?q=com.pi4j and replaced the 1.3 libs with ones in the 1.4 zip.

I use JDK 11.

1.4 gives me following exception at startup:
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: com/pi4j/component/relay/Relay
at be.relaycontrol.RelayControl.(Unknown Source)

Any hints what I'm doing wrong?

Tx,
Kurt
