Application Main Class Lost Every Run

In Studio One I set application main class and run/debug it successfully, but the next time I run/debug the main class seems to get lost and I need to at least click in the main class source file in source editor.
Does Sun One lose the main class value or I miss something?
Thanks,
Alex

Yes I also found that the main class is lost everytime.
Then you have to click on it and press execute or left click and press execute from pop-up menu.
Well Sun One is far from perfect.

Could not find the main class (with every jar)

This isn't a developer question. I get the error Could not find the main class with every jar I try to open (for example the jar downloaded from https://gjar.dev.java.net/ gives the same problems - and I don't think there is something wrong with that JAR). It isn't a problem with the jar or MANIFEST because the same jar works fine on my laptop. So there is something wrong with my JRE installation, but what?
I tried to remove and reinstall the JRE 6 Update 18 but that didn't work. When I run the JAR with command line java -jar "file.jar" it works fine, but if I dubbelclick on it I get the error message (and it's irritating me).
I'm a bit desperate so I hope that someone here can help me ;)
Thanks in advanced

Can not find Main Class - Can't Run Application

I have at this for a while and it is drivng me crazy... I have an application that I want execute in a bat file. I have checked the runtime environment by executing java and javaw, both which give option on error messages. I have set the classpath to point too the class subdirectory. Here it is.., Every time I execute the bath file or execute the javaw command, I get the "Can not find main class" message.
I am using XP ...
Help please...
Thanks for all your help.

when you set the classpath I presume you mean that your running java or javaw as:
javaw.exe -cp %classpath%;.;c:\library\myfiles com.mycomp.myapp.MainClassIf your using a jar then you must specify the jar in the class path.
Don't presume it will find the jar. Other than that, you will have
to provide more details.

How to get main class name in running program?

How can I get classname, which main method is executed? Of course in running program?
Please help,

Something like (not tested this)StackTraceElement[] foo = new Throwable().getStackTrace();
String whichClass = foo[foo.length-1].getClassName();

How to run 1 or more main classes in a jar?

Hi there,
I have 2 or more main classes in a java project. How do I create more than one application entry point in my MANIFEST.INF? I create my jar file from my java project using Eclipse, and it asked me to "Select the class of the application entry point". I was only able to select one main class.
I noticed the MANIFEST.INF file that eclipse generated looks like:
Manifest-Version: 1.0
Main-Class: Automobile
When I tried to run my other classes not specify in the MANIFEST.INF it failed and only look for the Automobile class:
java -jar /tmp/Auto.jar TestMe

Your app. can have as many entry points as you like, as atmguy demonstrated. But you can only specify one in the manifest,which - if you think about it - makes perfect sense. How is the machine to determine - from you clicking on the jar - which entry point you meant to invoke?

Running JAR files (Could not find the main class error)

Hi all,
I'm having a bit of a problem with my app. I created an application with the current Netbeans edition, containing multiple .class files, and a few .jar libraries that are needed too.
Now I'm having problems with running the .jar that the Netbeans creates, so I figured I'd make a one on my own.
Okay, this is what I have going on:
C:\MyApp\ <--- root for the application
C:\MyApp\src\ <--- this is where the .class files are
C:\MyApp\lib\ <--- here are the .jar libraries which are needed
C:\MyApp\jar.exe
C:\MyApp\Manifest.txt
Now I have a couple questions.
1. Is it ok that the .class files all have a "package MyPackage; " thing in the beginning?
2. How should I proceed on making the Manifest.txt file correctly? I have tried various different outputs and read a few topics here from how it should be done, but I just can't nail it. Currently my Manifest looks like:
Main-Class: MyPackage/Myapp
Class-Path: lib/xxx.jar lib/xxx2.jar lib/xxx3.jar
Any help would be appreciated! Thanks.

Oh, almost forgot:
3. The right way to create a jar? I used this:
C:\MyApp\jar cmf Manifest.txt MyJar.jar src\*.class
And system is Windows XP.

"Could not find the main class" when running a jar

Hi, I'm trying to create and run a jar from my application, but I can't figure out how to properly set an entry-point. Looking at the Java Tutorials http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/deployment/jar/index.html I still can't get it to work.
I have a directory myApp, which contains a directory images and some class files, including mainClass.class. I also have a manifest Manifest.txt in the directory myApp with the following line:
Main-Class: mainClass.class
+ one empty line
I create a jar successfully, while inside the myApp directory, with the following command:
jar cfm myApp.jar Manifest.txt *.class images\*.*
I then proceed to run the jar with the following command:
java -jar myApp.jar
and receive the following error:
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: myApp/class
My completely uneducated guess is that there is something wrong with my manifest. The tutorial says that the line should be:
Main-Class: MyPackage.MyClass
I'm assuming that I get the error because I didn't specify a package, which I didn't do because I didn't know what to put there. Do I even have a package?
Can anyone tell me what I've done wrong? thanks.

One problem is you are specifying a file name instead of a class name. It probably should beMain-Class: mainClassA good test is to run your app before jaring it - if you run it with "java mainClass" then the Main-Class attribute must be mainClass.
Also class naming conventions say that class names should start with a capital letter - MainClass for example. It is just a convention, but it is easier to get help when you follow conventions.

Help needed with application: "could not find the main class"

I am pretty new to java and am trying to figure out applications a bit now. The one im working on does run within my editor, but when i "test" it or try to run it from within a .jar file it returns a "could not find the main class" error.
I have a code similar to this:
public class user{
public static void main(String[] args){
new user();
public user{
Does this have to do with it? I've been trying to get this right for a couple of days now, I just wanna be able to run it (on either my pc or another) without starting the Editor.
Looking forward to receiving an answer..

It sounds like you are missing the Main-Class attribute in your manifest file. Create a file 'manifest.mf' with the following line 'Main-Class: user'
Then include that manifest in your jar:
'jar -cfm user.jar manifest.mf user.class'
Then run the jar: 'java -jar user.jar'

IMac (2008) OS10.6.8 - Main menu freezes when running more than one application at a time. Apple and 3rd party applications - all freeze the main menu. Safe mode seems to work OK. Tried repairing permissions - didn't work.

For the past 60 days I've experienced Main Menu freeze when running more than one application at a time. iPhoto, Preview, Text Edit, Epson Scan, Firefox and Thunderbird are the apps I use almost daily. No matter what I do, when more than one is running they will freeze the Main Menu (top of the screen). I've tried booting is Safe Mode and I don't seem to have a problem. I've tried several suggestions from repairing permission (DiskUtility) to eliminating specifis login items. Nothing works. I've posted this issue on the Apple forum several times and no one else has experienced this problem. I hesitate to take my iMac to the Apple Store or a private Apple repair service until I've exhausted all of my options. Do I have any more options?

Question: Everytime an app crashes I have the option to report it to Apple - which I usually do. But I've NEVER reported a Main Menu freeze because it never asks me to
There's really no need to submit to Apple, it's just a round file cabinet on the other end, especially with 10.6 or earlier.
This sure sounds like a resource problem...

Servlet can't run,Could not find the Main class,but how ?

well i have made a simple servlet,but when i run it i get the following error.
C:\jdev903_pre\jdk\bin\javaw.exe -ojvm -classpath C:\jdev903_pre\j2ee\home\oc4j.jar -Doracle.j2ee.dont.use.memory.archive=true com.evermind.server.OC4JServer -config C:\jdev903_pre\jdev\system9.0.3.988\oc4j-config\server.xml

[waiting for the server to complete its initialization...]
java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: com.evermind.server.OC4JServer
Exception in thread main
Process exited with exit code 1.
kind regards
Thanks for the very fast response,but how ?
Can you run your servlet on OC4J standalone directly, to narrow down the problem..
thanks,
-Prasad

A quick way to test would be
- Assuming you have OC4J standalone installed
- copy your servlet (HelloWorld.java) file into \default-web-app\WEB-INF\classes
- compile it
- run it using the url http://localhost:8888/servlet/HelloWorld

Couldyou please help?

Hmm, only way I know would be a relatively painless Archive & Install, which gives you a new/old OS, but can preserve all your files, pics, music, settings, etc., as long as you have plenty of free disk space and no Disk corruption, and is relatively quick & painless...

Running one main class from another

Hey, i developed two main class. Each class produce it's one JFrame. One Frame suppose to at one point run the other frame when a start button is press. How should I go about doing it?

You can just call the other class's main method.
However, that's kind of messy. If you have any functionality in your main method other than just bootstrapping your program, it's probably better to refactor it out into a different method. Then your other class can invoke that new method.

My program compiles but when i run it, main class cannot be found

as you can see, my program TestMaker compiles but when i try running it i get all these errors, i have no idea what's wrong with this

The "-cp ." tells Java to ignore the CLASSPATH variable and just look in the current directory instead. You probably had the location of StdIn on your CLASSPATH variable.
What you need to do in this case is to add the current directory "." to your CLASSPATH variable.

How can ı run my JavaMail main class in dos mode ?

I develop a program about current account. There are two classes. One class is main class. I can run main class in Sun One Studio but ı can not run in DOS mode. If ı wrote "java Carihesap " on command line appear exception in thread main javax/mail/messaging exception.
Please help me about this problem

ı didnt include any jars within my project. My project occur only two classes. First one main class other one table model class .

Could not find main class. Program will now exit. *SIGH*.....

At first I thought it was just my own programs that I created with netbeans that had this problem; however, even the demo programs under the sdk folder give me this problem when i try to run them. Virtual Machine Loader will just come up with pop up saying "Could not find the main class. Program will not exit"
I am a fairly competent programmer, not new to java. But I am new to guis in java, and using netbeans to create them. The program I am creating gives me this error with javaw and with java it will tell me NoClassDef for grouplayout. I checked the manifest file it looks alright:
Manifest-Version: 1.0
Ant-Version: Apache Ant 1.7.0
Created-By: 10.0-b19 (Sun Microsystems Inc.)
Main-Class: desktopapplication2.DesktopApplication2
Class-Path: lib/appframework-1.0.3.jar lib/swing-worker-1.1.jar lib/swing-layout-1.0.1.jar lib/ant-swing.jar lib/SwingSet2.jar lib/swing-layout-1.0.3.jar
X-COMMENT: Main-Class will be added automatically by build
}(brackets not included)
I am sort of lost.... Do I need to install ant separately?
I feel like there may be some classpath issues?
I have java 1.6 update 4 and netbeans 6.0
I am completely lost I have been working on fixing this for the past 2 or 3 days now, and reading up all the information.
Note: This is just a standard desktop application.
Also I just thought of something. If I have install the development kit do I also need to install the framework or whatever for 6.0 separately? Meaning installing the latest version of jvm. Sorry if this isn't clear i forgot what it is called.
Sorry if this sounds like a beginner question or something, but I am going crazy. If i am having this much trouble running my own program i really hope distributing files won't be this much of a nightmare....

Please become familar with resources at the NetBeans site. There are tutorials and FAQs that cover usage of NB, and how to do things like you're asking.
