Could not find the main class: oracle.ide.boot.Launcher. Program will exit

Hi,
I have installed Oracle11g_win64_11gR1, Database and Client.
The issue is unable to invoke "sqldeveloper", getting the following error message. Could you please help ?
FYI. I have already downloaded and installed installed JRE and JDK.
ie. C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre6\ and C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_24, still did not work.
C:\Users\oracle>java -version
java version "1.6.0_24"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_24-b07)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 19.1-b02, mixed mode)
Let me know, if you need more information. Here is the error message.
Error Message
=========
(1) if I invoke sqldeveloper, directly from the location " C:\app\oracle\product\11.1.0\db_1\sqldeveloper\sqldeveloper\bin " using explorer, I do get error message
"Unable to find a java Virtual Machine.
To point to a location of java Virtual machine please refer to the Oracle9i JDeveloper Install Guide ( jdev/install.html)"
(2) if I invoke sqldeveloper, directly from the locationC:\app\oracle\product\11.1.0\client_1\sqldeveloper, it prompts me to enter "full path for java.exe".
When I enter full path and continue, still it continue to prompt and ask the same input.
(3) if I invoke sqldeveloper from from command prompt using the batch file "sqldeveloper.bat"

I was able to resolve this issue by performing following.
1. Go to the location where sqldeveloperW.exe is being executed from.
2. You will find a file sqldeveloper.conf in that location. Edit this file and change the value of IncludeConfFile to point to actual place. For me following were old and new values.
OLD (Wrong) : IncludeConfFile ../../jdev/bin/ide.conf
NEW (Correct) : IncludeConfFile ../../ide/bin/ide.conf
After making above change in the sqldeveloper.conf file. Save and close it. Restart SQLDeveloper. You will not get the error anymore.
Thanks

Installing Oracle client 10.2: Could not find the main class...

Any Ideas? I did a search on google, and looks like others have had this problem but found no answer.

There could be several reasons for getting this "Could not find main class" error message. From your stack trace it looks like the class javax/media/ControllerListener is not in your class path. Make sure your manifest file has a line like this:
Class-Path: pathToTheJarFileWithControllerListenerClass.jar otherJars.jar
This error message is also generated whenever any static initialization errors out giving the misleading error message implying that there is something wrong with the main class. Prior to starting your main class, static initialization of any static variables takes place. In my case, I was initializing a resource bundle, and forgot to include the property file in my building of the jar file. Well this failed of course and the generic error message appeared. It took many long hours to figure out it didn't have anything to do with the manifest file or the main class itself.
HTH,

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

[Jar Executable] Could not find the main class. Progam will exit.

Hello,
I am a French person. Excuse me for my English who is not perfect.
I seek to create an achievable "jar". I followed the instructions given in the url http://java.developpez.com/faq/java/?page=execution#creationJar, and on the site of Sun.
I have today only one class which I posed in a specific repertory "Class".
Appli

|__META-INFThe contents of my "Manifest" is stored in repertory META-INF with the name "Commission2007.MF" and its contents are as follows:
Manifest-Version: 1.0
Created-By: 1.5.0 (Sun Microsystems Inc.)
Main-Class: Commission2007
.I've left the space line at the end of the file.
Here the result of execution of my order "jar":
C:\#Java Dev\2007_Commissionnements>jar cvfm Commission2007.jar META-INF/Commission2007.MF -C Class/ .
manifest ajout�
ajout : Class/./(entr�e = 0) (sortie = 0)(0% stock�)
ajout : Class/./Commission2007.class(entr�e = 9060) (sortie = 4547)(49% compress�s)I controlled the assignment of the extension "jar" in "Working station = > Tools = > Files Option = > Files Type = > .jar Selection = > Advance =
Open = > Change = >" C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.6.0\bin\javaw.exe "- gravel bank" %1 "% *". Thus not of problem on this side there!When I double click on the file "jar" lately created, I have the error message according to: "Could not find the main class. Progam will exit. " I do not understand the reason of this error. I consulted all the subjects on the treating Net of this subject but without result. I thus call upon you.
Perhaps that the cause is in my code which however functions perfectly when I carry out it with the order: "Commission2007 java". The class "hand" is quite present to see the code below. You can find the totality of my code on the bond http://www.developpez.net/forums/showpost.php?p=1870361&postcount=74

          Commission2007 editer = new Commission2007();
          editer.show();
          editer.addWindowListener(editer);
}I thank you in advance for your assistance.
Cordially, Gilles.

Salut,
It has been my experience that it is never a good idea to name your .MF file anything else other than MANIFEST.MF.
Try naming your .MF file MANIFEST.MF and rebuild your JAR.
Bon chance.

JXDatePicker - could not find the main class?

Hi all,
I am trying to play with the JXDatePicker swinglabs.
I wrote this trivial code:
import java.awt.BorderLayout;
import java.awt.event.ActionEvent;
import java.awt.event.ActionListener;
import javax.swing.JFrame;
import javax.swing.JLabel;
import org.jdesktop.swingx.JXDatePicker;
public class TestJXDatePicker implements ActionListener
    public JLabel label = new JLabel();
    public JXDatePicker datePicker = new JXDatePicker(System.currentTimeMillis());
     public TestJXDatePicker()
          label.setText("Choose Date by selecting below.");
          JFrame frame = new JFrame();
          frame.getContentPane().add(label, BorderLayout.NORTH);
          frame.getContentPane().add(datePicker, BorderLayout.CENTER);
     public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent arg0)
          if (arg0.getSource()==datePicker)
               label.setText(datePicker.getDate().toString());
    public static void main(String[] args)
         new TestJXDatePicker();
}Unfortunately, I get this message:

ANY IDEA???
JDK = 1.4 (also tried with compiler comliance lever 5.0) nothing :-(

I had a look through the SwingX stuff and decided that it looks like the project has stalled (the main site says something about being overhauled - but it's been like that for ages).
I'm using JCalendar - there's recently been a new release and it's brilliant.

Oracle Universal Installer - Could not find main class

Deployment - "Could not find the main class."

I am trying to deploy an executable version of my project. From the IDE, I select Run-Deploy-New Deployment Profile; then I choose JAR File. I leave the default directory, and I've tried various names. I select "Include Manifest File" and then add my main class. I then go to Run-Deploy-[application].deploy. When I try to run the resulting JAR file with javaw, I get the following message:
Java Virtual Machine Launcher
Could not find the main class. Program will exit!
When I try to run it from the command line using java -jar [application].jar, I get this message:
-jar: illegal argument
I am using JDev 10.1.3.0.4 on Windows 2000.
What am I doing wrong?

If you create a new project in JDeveloper.
Add a new class
public class Class1 {
public static void main(String[] args) {
System.out.println("It Works");
[\pre]
Create a new JAR file
In the deployment profile point to Class1 as the Main Class
Deploy the JAR file
and then from the command line write
java -jar works.jar Class1
Does it work?

Pleez help me how to rectify this error.

The manifest file is missing from the project.
I searched the net and read about the manifest file and I saw that it is supposed to be located in META-INF/MANIFEST.MF. I suppose that means project_root/META-INF/MANIFEST.MF, right ?
I am asking this because I haven't got that much experience in Java and this is the first time I hear about a manifest file.
Does anyone have any Ideea how I add a manifest file to a project with Eclipse SDK? I searched the menus and I didn't find anithing of such sort... o
Does Eclipse have support for editing manifest files at all?

Error: "Could not find the main class: Files\NetBeans"

I am working on a WorldWind mapping application but I think this issue is more of a straight Java question. I was attempting to add a web service reference by means of the NetBeans IDE. The reference compiled as it should have but then the application would not run. I deleted the reference, commented out all the code that used the web reference, basically restored all the code to how it was before trying to add the web service. The applicaiton still will not run with the message that it can't find the main class. I do, however, get a clean build. What should I do to fix this?
Here is the error: "Could not find the main class: Files\NetBeans"
thanks!

thanks!Sounds like something (a .cmd file or .bat file, perhaps) is set up to launch NetBeans with a command line like this:
java -classpath ... c:\Program Files\NetBeans ...
So since the path has embedded space(s) in it, it thinks you are wanting to run a class named "Files\NetBeans", which does not exist.
You need someone there who knows what they are doing to look into it for you.

java testPassword.javaThe JRE doesn't run source code. You haven't installed a JDK. Forget Eclipse, you need to revisit some fundamentals, my friend.

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.

NetBeans questions should be posted to the NB site. It has mailing lists and associated forums.
This tutorial from the NB site addresses running programs outside of NB

When you compare objects, use ".equals()" and reserve == for comparing values.
