I am trying to make use of this monkey runner Java class here which was obtained from here. It looks really good, however, every time I run it I get this error:

02:01:38 E/adb: Failed to get the adb version: Cannot run program "adb": CreateProcess error=2, The system cannot find the file specified

I make sure to forward and start the monkey server like so:

adb forward tcp:1080 tcp:1080

adb shell monkey --port 1080

I am running this class within eclipse. What am I doing wrong?

I would also appreciate links to examples of using the monkey runner in a Java class to send commands to an emulator. I don't want to use Python/Jython script I want to do it within a Java class.

If you'r using windows maybe the adb is not on the system path but on the user path. And eclipse is running it as another user and therefore can't find the adb.exe.
