Creating setup file for java project

hi
My project has java files, properties files,batch files as well as two jar files,mail.jar & activation.jar(for importing packages).
I have to include these jar files while setting environment variables.
Now i want to make setup file for myproject to provide quick launch from desktop ,can anyone pls help me how to include these all files into a single jar file. and how to make setup file
Pls Help
Thanks a lot !!!

JAR files can contain any type of file that you want so you could use the following command:
jar cf jar-file input-file(s)
(the c tells jar to create the jar file; the f says the next item is the name of the jar file; the jar-file should be replaced with the name of the jar file; and the input-file(s) should be replaced with the name of the files you want jarred).
In general, batch files don't do much good bundled inside a jar file. If you really want a way to bundle all of your files and have them installed, then you might want to look into JExpress or one of its competitors. Full disclosure, I work for DeNova (the mfg of JExpress).
The advantage of an installer over a jar file is that you can distribute your files plus create a native executable to launch your java app, set up an uninstaller, etc.

Writing a setup file for Java project

Hello friends,
I am Kiran , very new to this Forum and also for java programming, my SE programmed a java project.
now I got to do two things --
1.I have to create a jar file with those class files and also an exe file which can execute that jar file.
2. I have to write a "setup file" for automatic instalation of my Java project.
so I request my friends to help in these two issues by providing some suggestions to do them.
Thank you in advance.
Kiran Karnati.

1.I have to create a jar file with those class filesI suggest you use ant to build the jar file. Thee are many tutorials available if you use google.
and also an exe file which can execute that jar file.Java will execute the jar file e.g.
java -jar myjar.jar
Of from windows just double click on the jar file.
2. I have to write a "setup file" for automatic instalation of my Java project. You can do this with ant for remote deployment or use a batch file or use another jar which when run unpacks the application.
BTW Is Kiran a girl's name or a boy's name or both?

Create .SCA file for MII project

Please let me know the steps in creating .SCA file for deploying MII projects developed using WorkBench with login page. I think that after creating the .SCA file we can deploy it using Eclipse under the menu Deploy View Console or using JSPM. After deploying we should be able to login using the credentials and should be redirected based on roles to appropriate pages.
I had deployed the intial .SCA file named (XMII08_0-20004625.SCA) using JSPM. MII version used is 12.1.8 and Netweaver version is NW CE 7.1 EHP1 SP5.
How we can set up the development environment in Eclipse or NetWeaver Developer Studio for MII project development so that we can directly create MII SCA file from the tool itself. Please share documents if any.

I need to modify the default login page in MII and redirect it to different URLs based on roles.
I am able to change the images in the default Menu.jsp in the NetWeaver login to Authentication page and inside properties tab. There I am able to change the images like branding-image.jpg, SAP NetWeaver image, SAP Image. But this is reflected in both the URLs
http://servername:50000/nwa and http://servername:50000/XMII/Menu.jsp
Then I changed the web.xml inside war file (tcsecumelogonui.war) which is in the path InstanceDirectory:\usr\sap\CE1\J00\j2ee\cluster\apps\sap.com\com.sap.security.core.logon\servlet_jsp\logon_ui_resources with the new Login.jsp file instead of Menu.jsp for the servlet tags but still when I access the new Login.jsp page from the URL http://servername:50000/XMII/Login.jsp it is still showing Menu.jsp. But when I tried to login using the Menu.jsp page then it is redirected to my new Login.jsp page.
Please let me know how I will be able to change and deploy a new login page in MII 12.1.8 and with NetWeaver CE 7.1 EHP1 SP5.

I m not able to create xml file in Java Project

hi all,
I have created one java project just to try with Ant Builder. I have created one class inside it. and now i m creating an XML file inside that project.
But as soon as i try to create the File -> New -> File and give the .xml extention of the file this gives error into the project.
Will you suggest me the solution for that?
Thanks in advance.

Assuming that you are facing this problem in NDS, here is the solution.
Go to Windows--> Preferences --> WorkBench -->File Associations
In the File Types list select *.xml
This will display the default associated XML editor as
XML Editor(default) in the bottom list box.
Click on add button near the bottom list box and select Text Editor, click Ok.You will see one more entry in the list box as "Text Editor".
Select this entry and click on the default button.
Click Ok and close the preferences dialogue.
Now create a new xml file.You wont see the error this time.
Please note that this will treat all simple xml files you will create as TEXT Files and always open with Text Editor.You can override this behaviour with right click on the file and select appropriate editor from the "Open With" context menu.
The error you are talking about is because the XML editor tries to check well-formedness and basic syntax rules for the file that you newly created, actually is a noce feature of the IDE.

How to Create Executable file for a project for Crio Platform

hi,
i am using CRIO 9014 platform for my application development.
i am controlling ( Reset & then Run ) FPGA from RT application .
Through TCP/IP communication the Acquired data ( from FPGA then followed by some Computation Logic in RT ) is sending to HOST computer .
during the above process
First i am starting the RT Application ( the TCP network will be continuously in listen mode ) then
i am starting my HOST Application in the project .
here i want to build my complete project as an executable file
so that i no need to start RT Application first and then HOST Application.
Could you please send me One sample Project with built in simple ADC Acquisition loop / logic in FPGA , then one sample logic / while loop in RT to acquire this ADC data from FPGA and send to HOST via TCP/IP network then the HOST with GUI for Display in the HOST .
This complete project should be build in .exe file .
Please complete project files and .exe file as a zip file.
Regards,
Venkat

Hi,
I might be confused but what I understand from what you have mentioned is that you want to create a project having two VI's. One running on your FPGA target and another running on you host computer.You want to build a single executable file to complete the entire operation.
Unfortunately you cannot have both VI's in same executable file. You can build one executable file and deploy on your FPGA target that will start running as soon as the target is booted. And you can create another executable file for running VI on your host computer. And instead of using TCP to transfer data, you could use "Interface FPGA" from FPGA module to communicate between your host computer and communicate.

In this forum there are so MANY posts teaching you how to build an executable jar. Search and you will find. Also, search about manifest file.

How to create a Batch file for java application ?

HOw to create a Batch file for java application and whats the use of this ?

HI,
How to create a Batch file for java application ?
And whats the use of creating batch file ?
Thanks in advance

First of all, you're OT.
Second, you can find this everywhere in the net.
If you got a manifest declaring main class (an classpath if needed), just create a file named whatever.bat, within same directory of jar file, containing:
javaw -jar ./WhateverTheNameOfYourJarIs.jar %*By the way, assuming a Windows OS, you can just double click the jar file (no batch is needed).
Otherwise use:
javaw -cp listOfJarsAndDirectoriesSeparedBySemiColon country/company/application/package/className %*Where 'country/company/application/package/' just stands for a package path using '/' as separator instead of '.'
Don't specify the .class extension.
Javaw only works on Windows (you asked for batch, I assumed .BAT, no .sh), in Linux please use java.exe (path may be needed, Windows doesn't need it 'cause java's executables are copied to system32 folder in order to be always available, see PATH environment variable if you don't know what I'm talking about) and use ':' as classpath (cp) separator.
The '%***' tail is there in order to pass all parameters, it only works on Windows, refer to your shell docs for other OSs (something like $* may work).
This way you have a command you can call to launch your code (instead of opening NetBeans just to see your app working). You could schedule tasks on it or just call it in any command prompt (hope you know what it is 'cause there have been people in this very same forum with no clue about it, if not just hold the 'Windows button' and press 'R', then type 'cmd' and run it).
Finally add dukes and give 'hem away.
Bye.

Creating an exe file for java

Hi all,
any way to create the exe file using JBuilder 3?
if possible how to do that?
how about creating installation file for the application?
thanks alot

I think you might need a byte code compiler that converts the .class files to .exe
I believe there are some products out there that do this. I don't think there is a java utility that performs this type of operation.

How to create the exe files for java application

How to create the exe file for java application?
got any software to do that?
Thanks

In terms of converting java applications into exe files, there are 3 schools of thought:
1) Instead of converting it to an exe, convert it to a jar file. Jar files are more portable than exe files because they can be double-clicked on any operating system. The caveat is that a Java interpreter must be installed on the target computer for the double-clicking to work.
http://developer.java.sun.com/developer/Books/javaprogramming/JAR/
2) Create an exe launcher that, when double-clicked, attempts to find a Java interpreter on the local computer and launches the Java application. The exe file is still double-clickable but whether your java application runs depends on whether a Java interpretor is installed on the target computer.

http://www.jelude.cjb.net/
http://thor.prohosting.com/~dfolly/java/index.html
3) Create an exe launcher that bundles a Java interpretor. Same as above but when the exe file is double-clicked, it searches for a Java interpreter and if one is not found, it installs one on the target computer. The caveat is that the exe file would have an overhead of 10 MB in size for the interpreter.
http://www.excelsior-usa.com/jet.html (evaluation version available)
4) Convert the Java application into a native exe file. The caveat is that if you use Swing for your GUI, it won't be converted. Also this option is still somewhat experimental.
Can't think of any free options right now.
