Find the executable

Hi,
I have a slight nuisance. When I install a program from pacman, I sometimes do not know the executable. for instance in the case of gtk2-theme-switch, I had to search different forums to find out that the command is "switch2". And now I want to experiment with gtk-theme-switch, but again I cannot find the executable.
Until a few months ago, there was an option to view the filelist in the packages database, but that option has unfortunately been removed...
Is there another quick way to find the executable of an installed package?

to list the executables:
for i in `pacman -Ql package-name | awk '{print $2}'`; do if [ -x $i -a ! -d $i ]; then echo $i; fi; done
Even better than my usual 'pacman -Ql foo | grep \/bin'
*steals* Thanks!

Trying to launch another profile, get: "Impossible to find the executable file. To fix this, set a valid path in the options window"

When I try to launch another profile in firefox, I get this message: [JavaScript Application] Impossible to find the executable file. To fix this, set a valid path in the options window.

Having this problem with FF21 Beta1, add-on version 1.5.0.2 on Win7 immediately after upgrading FF.
I would try to make a shortcut to the other profile as you suggested, but I honestly don't even know where the file is, if its a separate config or another executable all together.

The 7za executable is in the SUNWbzip Solaris 10 package on our systems (Solaris 10 Update 9). It appears that the file may have been in the SUNWp7zip package on some older update releases of Solaris 10 and later moved to SUNWbzip. It isn't clear to me whether or not this executable was available prior to the 5/08 update release. Anyway, I'd check and make sure SUNWbzip is installed. If it is and you don't have 7za you could check and see if SUNWp7zip is installed. If not, install it from you distribution media. If your release is too old to have it at all, you may have to load it from a newer distribution or another source.

How to find the executables for OWB Client, Design and Runtime Repositories

Hi Guys,
I have installed OWB 10G in the my local desktop (in D Drive). From the start menu, I can see the menu options for OWB Client, OWB Design Repository and OWB Run time Repository. If I want to get that execuatbles from which location can I find out. All the menu options are pointing out into d:\OWB Home \....\bin\launch.exe, but when we hit launch.exe nothing is displayed on the screen. can anyone give their suggestions pls
Regards
Kishan

launch.exe is the executable but if you look at the lnk files in your start menu the launch exe is followed by two parameters where the last one points to a specific cl file (I'm guessing short for command line) in the same bin directory that also contains a number of parameters. Here all the java jar files are listed that are needed to launch the specific component and how much memory the application can/may use.
So you won't find a classic windows executable if that is what you are looking for. But why are you searching for this in the first place since you can just copy the shortcut/lnk file if you want shortcuts in other places?

Where does xcode 5 save the executable files that it creates?

I already built my console application, and I can run it from xCode as well. Now I'd like to find the executable file it generates. I saw in an old tip in this forum that it's just to right-click the corresponding product item and select Show in Finder in the menu. However that option is disabled, as you can see in the picture below.
I also tryied the bin\release\debug and it's not there as well.
What am I doing wrong?
Tks in advance,

I checked the Locations and they're default, as you can see below:

Execute jar file: "could not find the main class" program will terminate

Hey,
I am new to Java. I have started to make a small java program which supposed to help me at my studies to lean the Dominic Memory System. I have used the latest version of Netbeans 5.5.1 to build my program in. I have two problems which I cannot figure out how to solve, please help me.
The first problem is that the java script I have made works when I compile it in Netbeans, but when I create a Jar file it does not work. I receive a pop up message in windows ?could not find the main class program will terminate? when I execute the jar file.
The second problem I have is that I need to compare the strings generated by the "numbers" and "TIP" and if the numbers is not identical the numbers in the ?Center? JPanel should be highlighted as red.
If anyone would like to clean up the code I would be pleased. I have copied quite a lot from anyone because of my one lack of knowledge.

Executable JAR file: Could not find the main class.

Hello,
I have a problem with making an executable JAR file.
I have written a JAVA program that consists of five different classes of which User.java is the main class and I have saved a text document with Main-Class: User and a blank line after that.
If I try:
jar cmf MainClass.txt User.jar User.class Beheerder.class Operator.class Manager.class MaakVisueelSchema.class
it makes a executable jar file which actually works! :)
But when the Operator class trys to open the MaakVisueelSchema class the screen stays blank.
I can run MaakVisueelSchema with java MaakVisueelSchema.
So I tried to make an executable JAR that consists only of MaakVisueelSchema, the same way as I did for User:
Main-Class: MaakVisueelSchema
jar cmf MainClass.txt MaakVisueelSchema.jar MaakVisueelSchema.class
Then I get the error message:
Could not find the main class. Program will exit.
from the Java Virtual Machine Launcher.
The big difference between MaakVisueelSchema and the other classes is that MaakVisueelSchema contains a PaintComponent method and an ComponentListener. Is it possible that one of those creates the error?
Can anyone help me with this problem?
Thanks in advance!
Bye!

Yes,
I tried:
jar xvf MaakVisueelSchema.jar
and it returns:
META-INF/
META-INF/MANIFEST.MF
MaakVisueelSchema.classN/G. You need to manually create a manifest file in a text editor, have it point to your main class, and enter it in your jar command as an argument.

Executable JAR sometimes could not find the main class.

I have a little task, that seems to be trivial- but I have no idea how to solve the current problem.
With a double click on my jar, a message comes up: JVM could not find the main class. Program will exit.
The executable JAR is an export result from eclipse, with a manifest file that contains the right entry to the main class.
But the curious thing is, that I have tested the little Swing-Application with 3 JRE versions: 1.4.2._06, 1.4.2_09 and 1.5 on Win2K and XP. Every time it works fine, but on one system it fails. (Normally it requires no external classpath settings, no path-entries to work.)
The ugly system is Win XP with JRE 1.4.2_06 installed.
Is there anybody with a good hint?
Please let me know.
Christiane

OK, I ll try to explain it in other words:
It is an executable jar file, with a manifest file that specifies the Main-Class. No other external files or jars or settings needed. Only a simple JDialog initialized from a parent JFrame.
I d like to start it with a double click from the Win-Explorer, not from command line!
As a result a dialog from "Java Virtual machine Launcher" displays
"Could not find the main class. Programm will exit."
My Problem is, I don t understand the launching process in depth. But I can reproduce the message with the following command:
wrong:
javaw -cp OrderAlertTest.jar OrderAlertParentDialog
-> Error dialog appears
correct:
javaw -cp OrderAlertTest.jar apo.order.OrderAlertParentDialog
-> OK
Any idea?

Could not find the main class error with executable jar

Hello,
I have troubles creating an executable jar file and I ran out of ideas how to solve it so I would appreciate some help.
I have created a jar file with the export function in eclipse
the Manifest.MF file contains:
Manifest-Version: 1.0
Main-Class: view.AppTennisViewI tried starting the file with a batch file which contains following code:
@echo off
javaw -classpath c:\TennisHSQLDB_GC2\tennisApp.jar
@start javaw -jar tennisApp.jar
exitthe batch file and the jar are both located in c:\TennisHSQLDB_GC2.
When i try command line I get the same result.
I also tried alternate statements such as SET CLASSPATH iso javaw -classpath and including the classpath in the manifest file but no luck. It keeps given me the error: could not find the main class. program will exit
Anyone any suggestions for my problem?

nevermind, found it.
classpath in manifest was incorrect

Executable Jar: Could not find the main class. Program will exit.

I have a jar which contins the class Main.class.
Following details are specified in the Manifest file.
Manifest-Version: 1.0
Main-Class: Main
However, when I double click the jar file, I get the error...
Could not find the main class. Program will exit.
What could be wrong?
Thanks in advance
Sachin

hi,
i've got exactly the same problem: double clicking the archive ends with an error (can't find the main class) but working with the command line executes the file!??!
does anyone know a solution?
thanks
