Classpath is not working for executable jar file

I have created executable jar file using following command where manifest file contains Main-Class and Class-Path entries.
jar cvfm app.jar META-INF/* lib/* *.class
So here app.jar contains my external jar's in lib directory
but when I move app.jar to another directory, it's doesn't get my external files.
I'm not getting this problem as these jar's are in app.jar
class-path entry in manifest file:
Class-Path: lib/abc.jar lib/xyz.jar
Pls help me where it is getting fail?
Thanks in advance,
Vikas

Java doesn't handle jars within jars. Your library jars need to be outside of the executable jar as in
dist - main.jar
- lib - lib1.jar
- lib2.jar

NOT WORKING: Putting a jar file requiring native library in bootclasspath

Hi,
I put my own jar file into the bootclasspath like this:
java -Xbootclasspath/p:myboot.jar TestClass
Some classes in the jar require a native library. For JVM 1.3 on Solaris, I put the native library in $JAVA_HOME/jre/lib/sparc and everything works just fine.
However, when I try the same thing on JVM1.4, I got the following error when my class containing the native methods is called:
Failed to load the native library: myboot_native
java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: no myboot_native in java.library.path
I tried to put that native library in several different directories in jre/lib but still had no luck.
Is there anybody know the solution? Does JVM1.4 allow me to put a custom jar file that requires a native library in the bootclasspath?
Regards,
Eman

Well is your file in a directory included in the java.library.path environement variable. I use java on windows but I have to add the directory where my native library is to the path variable (not classpath) in order to avoid the error you get.

Edit and Continue does not work for VB Linked Files

Hi all,It is not possible to modify source code in the files linked to a VB.NET project when the program is running (debug mode), even though Edit and Continue is enabled, along with full debug info and no optimizations is enabled. Files that are physically present in the project's hierarchy are editable without ptoblems.hierarchy example:FolderRoot\FolderRoot\Folder1: Linked Module1FolderRoot\FolderProject : Internal Forms and Modules(The Linked Module1 is external to main project but added as link at project)I found no solution for this problem.Anyone help me, please
RegardsFilSky

The main reason for using a linked file is for sharing. With that said your best option is to create a class project and place that file into the class project and reference this class project in any project that requires the code. One caveat, if the shared
file is a code module add Public in front of Module, otherwise it will not be visible outside of the class project.
So for a code module we start with
Module Module1
' Your code is here
End Module
Add Public
Public Module Module1
' Your code is here
End Module
Nothing needs to be done for classes.
Please remember to mark the replies as answers if they help and unmark them if they provide no help, this will help others who are looking for solutions to the same or similar problem.

'nl' Not Working for fieldSeparator in File Content Conversion

I have a receiver communication channel where I want to create a file with each field being a new line. The xml (Message Protocol: File) output looks like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<ns0:complus_receiver_messageType xmlns:ns0="http://graybar.com/test/complus_rec
eiver"><cp><myrequest>AAFADFASFADFADSFDASFADFAAA</myrequest><myheader>DELADV</myheader></cp></ns0:complus_receiver_messageType>
When I turn on Message Protocol of File Content Conversion, and follow the SAP documentation on the parameters, the 'nl' is getting sent literally.
- I have Recordset Structure of: cp
- I have content conversion parameters of:
cp.fieldSeparator 'nl'
cp.fieldNames myrequest,myheader
cp.addHeaderLine 0
My file output looks like this:
AAFADFASFADFADSFDASFADFAAA'nl'DELADV0001
Note that the 'nl' is not processing as a new line. Ideas?

Hi,
Receiver FileContent conversion params dosen't have <b>fieldNames</b>
cp.fieldNames myrequest,myheader
so why don't u remove this and try once again...
Recordset Structure of: cp
cp.addHeaderLine 0
cp.fieldSeparator 'nl'
Hope this weblog helps you...

Continuous raster is not working for imported Illustrator files - I am working on the latest versions of both. I tried importing a simple graphic and having it continuously raster, nothing else, and it won't work.

I set up my file in Illustrator as a video file, same size as the AfterEffects file I'm working on - but the continuous raster button doesn't work. Any ideas?

If you have applied raster layer effects in illustrator, then it won't work because you no longer have a vector image.
What is the zoom factor of your composition window? What is the resolution of your comp window? If you would post a screenshot of your composition with the properties of the layers in question revealed by pressing the u key twice maybe we would have a clue what you are doing wrong. It's quite difficult to come up with an answer with out some details. We need more details.

Cannot make executable jar file for swt application

hi to all!!! i have started learning swt library and it seems nice to me, but i have one problem, i cannot run my application. The problem is that i cannot make executable jar for it.
i'm using ecilpse_3.1.2 and have pluggined the visual editor for swt! yesterday i found one topic where was described the process of making the swt executable jar, i followed the instructions in the topic, but didn't resolve my problem, so if anybody knows how to achieve this , please help!!!!!!
the instructions in the mentioned topic are :
1. Make sure the SWT jar file is included in the Eclipse project build path
a. Download the standalone SWT jar file from eclipse.org even if you already have the ones that come with Eclipse. It is called ?swt.jar? and you will package it with the executable JAR. Make sure it is the same version of SWT that you used to make your program.
b. In Eclipse, import swt.jar via Project Properties::Java Build Path::Libraries::Add External JARs. (Make sure to include the source .zip file). Also make sure to select the swt package in the ?Order and Export? tab.
c. At this point, you should be able to compile and run your SWT application in the Eclipse SDK.
2. Do a standard Eclipse jar file export
a. Right click on the main .java project file and select ?Export??.
b. Choose ?JAR File? from the list.
c. Select the relevant packages and .classpath and .project resource files
d. Make sure ?Export generated class files and resources? is selected and browse to the location where you want the JAR file to be created.
e. Specify ?Generate the manifest file? and don?t seal the JAR or any packages. Choose the class containing the main method as the ?Main class?.
3. Change the manifest file
a. Navigate to the JAR file you created and open it with WinZip.
b. Open the MANIFEST.MF file inside and copy the contents.
c. Create a new file called ?MANIFEST.MF? and paste in the contents of the old manifest file.
d. Add the line ?Class-Path: <swt jar file path>?. For simplicity, you can just keep a copy of the swt.jar file in the same folder as the executable jar, in which case, the line is ?Class-Path: swt.jar?. Make sure there is a carriage return after the last line in the manifest file, or that line will not be parsed.
4. Replace the manifest file
a. Make sure the manifest file and the executable jar are in the same folder.
b. Open the command prompt and navigate to the containing folder.
c. Enter the command ?jar umf MANIFEST.MF <executable jar name>? to update the manifest file with the class path information.
5. Package the JAR with SWT files
a. Put the updated executable JAR file, swt.jar, and the associate DLL in the same folder. The DLL can be pulled out of swt.jar and should have a name like ?swt-win32-####.dll? on Windows.
b. The JAR file should now successfully execute. On Windows, you can usually just double click the JAR file in explorer and it will open. If that does not work, the command ?java ?jar <executable jar name>? on the command line has the same effect.
but a few steps aren't exact for me , for example : first, which jar i have to include in build path : downloaded or from plugins folder, second
i have to incude source.zip too??? but it is only in downloaded zip file which includes both swt.jar and src.zip, and finally can anyone clarify next :
"5. Package the JAR with SWT files
a. Put the updated executable JAR file, swt.jar, and the associate DLL in the same folder. The DLL can be pulled out of swt.jar and should have a name like ?swt-win32-####.dll? on Windows."
what does this mean, put these in folder or make jar from them????

wolve634 wrote:
but a few steps aren't exact for me , for example : first, which jar i have to include in build path : downloaded or from plugins folder, secondTry it both ways. If neither works, then ask again. In a suitable forum, though. An Eclipse forum or an SWT forum or something related to where you got those instructions would make a lot more sense than asking here.
i have to incude source.zip too???No, of course you don't have to distribute the source code.
a. Put the updated executable JAR file, swt.jar, and the associate DLL in the same folder. The DLL can be pulled out of swt.jar and should have a name like ?swt-win32-####.dll? on Windows."
what does this mean, put these in folder or make jar from them????It says "Put (them) in the same folder". You're asking whether that means to put them in a folder? Yes, it does.

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.

Add classpath in an executable jar file

an executable jar file contains a manifest file with entry main-class: MyApplicationClass.
if we double click the jar file on Windows OS, main class is loaded.
my question is:
if classes in he jar file use classpaths which are not default, how to add those classpaths into manifest file to tell classes to use those classpaths?
it is similar to command line:
java -classpath c;\mypackage; .......; MyApplicationClass

Thanks, i will try soon.
here is another Q.
if i need to add tools.jar (JDK lib) as classpath in manifest file, it is as following in my PC
d:\install\java\jdk14101\lib\tools.jar.
but my customers install JDK in different path (should be considered as unknown), how to add it as entry Class-path for all customers?

I can't open the vi in the moment. But by your description I think that I know the solution.
When you build the executable you've to add dinammically the vi's from report generator that aren't in your main vi hierarchy. So, you've to open the vi's and find those that are open trough "open vi reference" and add them dinamicaly.
And don't know if these tips are enough.
From NI Zvezdana S.
"When you use the Report Generation Toolkit to build a stand-alone application with the Application Builder, you must add _Word Dynamic VIs.vi from _wordsub.llb and _Excel Dynamic VIs.vi from _exclsub.llb as dynamic VIs. These two VIs contain subVIs that are called dynamically by the high-level Report Generation VIs. I believe that if you grab these VIs from the (desired office version part of the) installation CD instead of from the development machine, then everything should work. "

What's This Help not working for one entry in each header file

I have a large RoboHelp project that I have imported into Version 8 from a previous version. Prior to the import into Version 8, all of the What's This Help in the project was working perfectly; now, post-import, I have a problem.
Firstly, some background information.
My project contains a large number of individual header (.H) files, one for each dialog within the software. These header files, which have been generated and provided by our developers, contain one entry for each field on the dialog to which the header file relates. The header files are all contained within a \HTML Topics\Fields\ folder (going from the root of my Help project).
Each header file has a corresponding text (.TXT) file. These text files contain entries that correspond to the entries in the relevant header file. The text files are also contained within the \HTML Topics\Fields\ folder.
Below is an example of the contents of a header file:
#define IDH_HIERARCHY_APPEARANCE_HIEARCHY_LIST          16811
#define IDH_HIERARCHY_APPEARANCE_ADD_APPEARANCE         16812
#define IDH_HIERARCHY_APPEARANCE_REMOVE_APPEARANCE      16813
Below is the contents of the corresponding text file:
.topic IDH_HIERARCHY_APPEARANCE_ADD_APPEARANCE
Click this button to add a new row of hierarchical appearance settings to the grid.
.topic IDH_HIERARCHY_APPEARANCE_HIEARCHY_LIST
Use this grid to define hierarchy appearance settings. Each row in the grid represents a level of the hierarchy. For example, the appearance settings you define for the first row apply to the top level of hierarchy, the settings you define for the second row apply to the second level, and so on.
.topic IDH_HIERARCHY_APPEARANCE_REMOVE_APPEARANCE
Click this button to delete the selected row of hierarchical appearance settings from the grid.
The What's This Help that was part of the original project still works perfectly. However, after upgrading the project to RoboHelp Version 8, I have had to update the project to reflect changes to the software. As part of this work, I have imported some new header files and updated some existing ones - and edited the corresponding text files accordingly.
The What's This Help that is covered by the header files that I have imported since the upgrade to RoboHelp Version 8 does not work correctly; in each case, the What's This Help does not work for whichever field appears at the top of the appropriate text file. The position of the entry in the corresponding header file does not make a difference.
If I manually edit a text file to move a different entry to the top then recompile the Help project, the What's This Help does not work for the field that now appears at the top of the text file - and the What's This Help for the field that used to appear at the top of the text file now works.
I've tried everything I can think of to fix this, but nothing has worked. It seems as if there is a problem in the way RoboHelp is compiling the header and text files.
If I use Microsoft HTML Help Workshop to decompile the CHM file, then view the contents of the resulting, decompiled text files, the affected files appear as follows:
.topic IDH_HIERARCHY_APPEARANCE_ADD_APPEARANCE
Click this button to add a new row of hierarchical appearance settings to the grid.
.topic 16811
Use this grid to define hierarchy appearance settings. Each row in the grid represents a level of the hierarchy. For example, the appearance settings you define for the first row apply to the top level of hierarchy, the settings you define for the second row apply
to the second level, and so on.
.topic 16813
Click this button to delete the selected row of hierarchical appearance settings from the grid.
Note how the entry at the top - which relates to the What's This Help that doesn't work - appears differently to the other entries which do work. The name of the ID appears after ".topic" rather than the appropriate ID number.
Any help that anyone can provide me with would be very much appreciated.
Thank you,
Mark

Its working now. We just kept trying to reinstall the tools and restarting indesign. On the 4th time the buttons started working. I can't explain why it finally worked, just that it is working now.
