Licensing and Manifest File

We have two Lic for Adobe Captivate2. When we try to package
a captivate demo using SCORM, only one lic will create the manifest
file for us. Both Lic were purchased at the same time. Please help.
We just found out that when we package the same captivate
file using captivate Macromedia captivate, all the necessary files
are created and loaded successfully into our LMS (Saba).
Unfortunatlly, I cannot say the same thing about Adobe
Captivate 2.

AS I understand it, a manifest won't be generated if there's
nothing to
track. I always assumed that meant at least one interaction
had to be
marked as 'scored' and the Quiz Manager settings had to be
completed
(type of tracking, etc). I don't know if 'track by slide
views' means a
manifest will be generated or not...
But you're suggesting that on one system, without any scored
interactions and no Quiz Manager settings, that a manifest is
being
generated with just 'track by slide views' checked?
I'm not familiar enough to know if that's all that should be
needed, nor
if that option should result in a manifest.
A common workaround for content that needs to be viewed but
has no
'quiz' is to place a scored interaction on the first slide
that simply
says something like 'Click here to begin'. Since everyone
clicks to
start the course, they automatically score 100%, which can be
correlated
to a 'completed' status.

Java Web Start and Manifest Files

I am trying to read a manifest file that lives within a jar file that is deployed / downloaded using JWS.
I have written some code that works out the JAR file path and then creates a new JAR file and reads the manifest entries from within it. This works when i test the JAR file locally howver when the application is downloaded using JWS And i run the same code I get a util.ZipException with it.
Has anyone solved this problem?
I use the standard getClass().getProtectionDomain().getDomain.GetLocation().toString() to get the URL that represents the JAR file where the Main method is executing and where the manifest file is located
Above code may not be correct.
Hope you can help

I have solved it so for people wanting the solution
String localFile = Main.class.getProtectionDomain().getCodeSource().getLocation().toString();
localFile = localFile.concat("!/");
String tmpString = "jar:";
String localJarFileString = tmpString.concat(localFile);
URL localJarFileURL = new URL(localJarFileString);
JarURLConnection localJarFile = (JarURLConnection)localJarFileURL.openConnection();
Manifest mf = localJarFile.getManifest();
Attributes attr = mf.getMainAttributes();
CREATED_BY = attr.getValue("Created-by");
SOFTWARE_VERSION = attr.getValue(Attributes.Name.IMPLEMENTATION_VERSION);
SOFTWARE_VENDOR = attr.getValue(Attributes.Name.IMPLEMENTATION_VENDOR);
SOFTWARE_VENDOR_TITLE = attr.getValue(Attributes.Name.IMPLEMENTATION_TITLE);

Dlls and manifest files

Problem: DLL written in CVI ( for usage with teststand) depends on another DLL, written in MSVC++2008. When trying to use the CVI-DLL in TestStand in fails to find msvcr90.dll. Even after I've ensured that MSVC++2008 redistributables ( 32bit ) are installed.
Problem seems to be that MSVC++2008 runtime is installed as "Side by Side Assembly" into winsxs directory and therefore some hints in form of a manifest file are needed to find the right runtime.
I'am not sure, where i can/have to use the manifest file. Does the MSVC++2008 DLL has to be distributed with the manifest ( either embedded or as seperate file) . Or can I create also a manifest for the CVI-DLL and where I can find documentation for doing so ?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

The manifest file should be in the DLL built in VC. This VC DLL is the one that depends on the 'side-by-side' msvcr90.dll and so must have a manifest declaring this dependency. The CVI DLL has nothing to do with this issue and does not need any manifest - putting a manifest in the CVI DLL would not help. By default, VC automatically embed the manifest when it builds the DLL - so it should already be there in the VC DLL. You can see the manifest by opening the DLL in VC resource editor and looking in the RT_MANIFEST resource section.
I think the most likely cause of your problem is that the manifest in your VC DLL points to a different version/build of msvcr90 DLL - this could be because:
1) You are using a debug build. The VC redistributable only installs release build of msvc90.dll and this is different from the debug flavor of msvcr90.dll. Solution: use a release build of your VC DLL.
2) You have a newer msvcr90 DLL on your developement machine (may be because of some patch) but you are installing an older redistributable on the target machine. If so, try patching your target machine. I think 1 is more likely than 2.

Problems with JAR and manifest files

Hi
I have a simple class MyClass.class (not in a package) which contains:
     public static void main( String[] args ) {
          javax.swing.SwingUtilities.invokeLater(new Runnable() {
                           public void run() {
                               new MyClass();
     }and a manifest file Manifest.mf which contains:
Manifest-Version: 1.0
Created-By: 1.4.2_08 (Sun Microsystems Inc.)
Main-Class: MyClassand i am using the following line to create a JAR file:
jar -cvmf Manifest.mf MyClass.jar MyClass.classHowever when I try to run the file I get the following error:
Could not find the Main file. Program will exit

And another one
although this one has an answer it doens't solve mine (I have a line at the end of my manifest)

Need to purchase Office 2003 single license and downloadable file

Does anybody know where I can buy a legitimate license for MS Office 2003 Standard Edition and a downloadable installation file?
Thank you

I know it's for developers who because of the MSDN subscription have access to those licenses and could sell one to me, right?
It's against the terms of use of MSDN to sell or otherwise transfer licenses. Office 2003 has been off mainstream support since 1/13/2009, so I do not think you will be able to buy a legitimate license.
If you really need a license for some reason, I think you will need to purchase an MSDN subscription of your own.

Executable jar files and manifest file

Hi,
I have the following files in a folder named: Test
a.jar
b.jar
c.jar
Driver.class
Driver.mf
Here, MainClass is the main executable class that uses a,band c.jar files. This is how my MainClass.mf file looks:
Manifest-Version: 1.0
Main-Class: Driver
Class-Path: a.jar b.jar c.jar
Now I use the following command to make one executable jar file:
jar cmf Driver.mf DriverMain.jar *
It creates an executable jar file named : DriverMain.jar
Now I copy the executable jar file (DriverMain.jar) into a different folder named: RunTest
and double click it, doesn't work.
my question is:
what am I doing wrong? Any special characters needed in my Driver.mf file (space/newline/etc)?
What I am trying to get is: One execuatble jar file so I can just double click to run it, and that single executable jar file will have all the necessary jars in it (i.e. a.jar, b.jar, c.jar in this case)
Anyone please help!
Thanks
-Ron

Rony,
Sorry to disappoint, but you can not use embeded jar/zip files within an executable jar. The JDK sadly for some reason decided this was not a useful idea, so developers like me who want to distribute plugins with thier own dependencies have one of two choices. You either have to unzip the jar file that contains the embeded jars to a directory, then run your primary exectuable jar, OR you have to write a custom classloader that your "launcher" creates then loads the embeded jar files.
The best thing to do is either jar up a, b, c and driver into one jar, so that it works, if you can legally do this. A lot of 3rd party libraries may not allow this per their license. Otherwise, another choice is to use a free installer or buy an installer that allows you to distribute a single exectuable installer program that will properly create the dir structure you need.
As for the way it works, if you declare:
Class-Path: a.jar b.jar c.jar
the JAR loader code in the JDK looks in the root dir where your application was started for a/b/c jar files. They have to be on disk.
If you want to place them in /lib, for example, you would havd a jar file like:
Driver.class
Driver.mf
lib/a.jar
lib/b.jar
lib/c.jar
When unzipped, your "root" dir would look exactly like the above, and your manifest would have Class-Path using ./lib/a.jar ./lib/b.jar ./lib/c.jar
Anyway, there thus far isn't any way around this issue of embeding jar files in an executable jar file. You MIGHT be able to not specify any classpath, then in your Driver.class, create a new custom classloader that dervies from URLClassLoader, but in the findClass(), you get a ref to the .jar file that the classloader class is inside of, and from that use it to find the lib/*.jar files and add them to the classpath. For this to work, however, your Driver.class code should ALSO be contained in an embeded jar file that is loaded by this custom loader. The only thing Driver.class would contain (and I would rename it to something like Launcher) is the code to create the custom classloader.
It's fun stuff, but a little bit of work to make it work. You can infact make it work! I may yet one day take our plugin engine custom loader and create a way for this to work!

Java - referencing external jar and class files

When compiling (loadjava) a Java class, how can an externally referenced '.jar file' be resolved please? Using '-resolve' doesn't do the job in this case.
Many thanks.

I think I've seen an option for this with manifest files (or was it something that had to do with the java plug-in). There was something about the version and only download a new version if it was newer than the one on your local computer. This version thing is something you define in the manifest file at least. Take a look at jar and manifest files, there might be something there.

Java classes in Jar and Cab files

Hello all,
Our product supply java classes in Jar and Cab files that the browser downloads each time.
The files are big and it takes a long time.
Do you know of a way to make the cab/jar files be copied in to the user computer and that the browser would know to download files again only if there is a new version (otherwise take it from the local computer)
Please help me
Tamg

Problem with manifest file and Plateau LMS

I have published a course with a quiz in SCORM 1.2 and tried
to upload to a Plateau LMS.
It seems that a "page cannot be found" message is the result
after upload and we try to launch the course. The course works
outside the LMS (when run locally on my computer).
The Plateau LMS support team tried to help, and found the
following: "There is something wrong with this manifest, though I
cannot ascertain what that is exactly. Most of the file name is in
the parameter field, which is causing the launch path to look like
this:
/content/apmm/cbcgis/mars/BRTMAIN/MARS?BRT%20Maintenance%20Template_%2020080226.htm=
Everything in the parameters field is placed after the
filename in a URLencoded querystring after the question mark that
you see above. it should look like this:
/content/apmm/cbcgis/mars/BRTMAIN/MARS BRT Maintenance
Template_ 20080226.htm"
Can anyone please help resolve this, or have any advice?
This is the first time we have tried uploading Captivate
courses to this LMS, and we have been having problems with the
manifest file in general. I have looked at all the material I can
find on publishing and the manifest file, but cannot seem to
resolve my issue.
Thanks
Warwick

Warwick,
I have had this error with an Authorware set of SCORM files
when my LMS was looking for index.htm and I had named it index.html
- you wouldn't think that would cause an error but it did. I would
be more than happy to package a Captivate file of just a few
screens that works on my LMS (which is Learn.com's Learning
Center), and send you the SCORM files to test... That could be a
start anyhow. I will send you a private msg. with my e-mail
id.

Creating & Using .jar files and manifests

I've read through hundreds of online tutorials on creating and using .jar's, but it's surprising how unhelpful they really are.
I've been trying to make a java program of mine standalone, so I can distribute it to others and allow them to run it without use of a compiler, etc (ideally just a .exe or .bat that they double click on). Everything I've found says I need to create a .jar of my program in order to do this. I was finally able to create a .jar but I got different errors relating to "main-class" and "manifest" issues...I tried running it with javaw.exe and had the same problem.
Some tutorials briefly discuss "meta manifest's", other's skip the concept all together in creating .jar's. I created a jar with:
jar cf A2.jar c:\jarTester.java
after changing my command prompt path to
C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_01\bin
It created the .jar, but nothing worked. As above, it gave me errors relating to the "Main-Class" and "Manifest". So here's my question:
What involvement does a "manifest" play in .jar's, and how do I create/use one to create a .jar? Why is it necessary to specify the "Main-Class" when I have already done so in my .java file?
I believe that once I can get this "Main-Class" and "Manifest" problem straightened out, I will be able to create a batch file with the line:
java -jar A2.jar
is this correct? THANKS.

Hi Satosh Sutar,
Based on the description, you got the error message when you update the apps from version 1.0 to 1.1.
From the error message, it seems the menifest include some settings no allowed in the new version. Would you mind sharing more detail about how you update the project?
And here is an article about updating apps for Office and menifest schema files in the project for your reference:

Manifest file and main class location problem

my main class is in not in the root of the jar file, it is down a package tree structure, and whenever I run the jar it says
Failed to load Main-Class manifest attribute from
xxxxx.jar
How do I specify the location of the main class? like this??
Main-Class: com/Utilities/visual/Model
thanks for your help.

It should be
Main-Class: com.Utilities.visual.Model
and make sure your manifest file has an empty line at the end of your file (i.e. press enter after the last line in your manifest line).

Updated to firefox 4, and suddenly can't connect with any browser though I am connected. Error message reads "could not read chrome manifest file."

i updated firefox and now I can't access the net on any browser. Wireless router everything is connected and up and running. Just not the browsers. uninstalled it, reinstalled it (didn't work), unistalled it again and internet explorer won't work either (not at anypoint after intial update was run. read several peoples simalr problems with the "could not read chrome manifest file" issue and solutions to no avail. uninstall and system restore did not work either. What did it change on my system, and how can I change it back?

Do a clean (re-)install:
Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
* Firefox 4.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
* Uninstall your current Firefox version and remove the Firefox program folder before installing that copy of the Firefox installer.
* Do not remove personal data if you uninstall the current version.
* It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
* It may not be necessary to create a new profile, so first try if it works with your current profile and if not then create a new profile.
Your bookmarks and other profile data are stored elsewhere in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Firefox Profile Folder] and won't be affected by a reinstall, but make sure that you do not select to remove personal data if you uninstall Firefox.
