Help---- creation of jar file

hi,
i have developed a application with swing concept and mysql as my database... now i am trying to create jar file for my application... in the manifest file i have given like this:
class-path: C:\Program Files\MySQL\mysql-connector-java-5.0.4-bin.jar;C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.5.0\bin;
Main-Class: Login
but still it throws an exception that main class: could not be found:
can any one help me...
Thank u in advance..
Abdul

For a classpath it is easy to forget to add code]//.;[ to the classpath and you also want to add %CLASSPATH%; as well
example classpath=.;%CLASSPATH%;...........rest of libs/jars the dot tells jvm to search current directory just like in DOS

  • How to bundle java help class into jar file ?

    Hi, all,
    I have some package in my project, with which I have a java help jar file as classpath, when I run my project, I need the jh.jar file in directory /jar/jh.jar.
    Now, I bundled all my class packages into a jar file, my.jar, together with the /jar directory. When i run my jar file with command:
    java -jar my.jar
    It tells me couldn't find javahelp class.
    What shall I do? How can I create my jar file with the jh.jar?
    Thanks in advance.

    I think you'd be better off just adding the jh.jar as
    a classpath argument and running it like that:
    java -classpath /myjavalibdir/jh.jar -jar myjar.jar
    ...otherwise you're stepping into redistribution of
    binary issues licensing-wise. That won't work either; when you run java with the -jar option, it ignores both the -classpath option and the CLASSPATH environment variable. However, it will see jh.jar automatically if you put it in the <path-to-java>/jre/lib/ext directory. But for distribution purposes, it might be simpler just to combime the contents of jh.jar into myjar.jar (if you use Ant, its <jar> task makes that very easy). Or, you can just run it this way:java -classpath myjar.jar;jar/jh.jar MyMainClassBTW, I don't think redistribution is a problem; otherwise how anyone even use JavaHelp?

  • Problems with creation of JAR file

    Hi!
    I can't succeed in creating a JAR file for my application.
    I've followed the guide at http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/deployment/jar/basicsindex.html
    but apparently im doing something wrong....
    I've tried doing an extra Manifest file aswell as "Setting an Entry Point with the JAR Tool" as written in the guide. noen with success however :(
    I always get the error "Could not find the main class. Program will exit." from the JVM when I try to run my JAR file.
    Structure of my program:
    C:\searchpath\moresearchpath\projectname\src\
    inside src\ there are 3 packages called; "graphic", "client" and "server".
    I want to make a JAR file from the files in the "server" package. The "server" package consists of these following 4 files(and nothing more); "ClientHandler.java", "TestServer.java", "ServerModel.java", "ServerController.java".
    "TestServer.java" is my main class!
    This is an example of a command I've done in order to try to make a JAR file:
    "C:\searchPathToWhereJavaIsInstalled\jdk1.6.0\bin\jar cvfe sgwserver.jar server.TestServer server\*"
    This doesn't generate any error. However when I try to start the .jar I get following message "Could not find the main class. Program will exit."
    I've also tried creating manifest file manually but without success (with UTF-8 encoding and not double .txt ending on file)
    This is how the "Manifest.txt" file has looked when I've tried making one:
    Main-Class: server.TestServer
    I have used Netbeans 5.5 and Java SE 6 for development
    What am I doing wrong? Please help me :(

    If I try to run the one generated from Netbeans I get the following error message: "Failed to load Main-Class manifest attribute from C:\searchpath\moresearchPath\projectName\dist\projectName.jar"
    The thing is I need 2 JAR files, one that contains the files in the "server" package and one that has all other files. The other one is an applet and the files in "server" package are a standalone application.
    How do I get the standalone application's JAR file to work?

  • Help needed with jar file

    hi, first of all sorry if my post is in wrong forum...but my application is done using swing so i am posting this here....and regarding my question...
    I have made an GUI using Java swings and my application is working fine. Now i want to make an executable jar file for my GUI. I have read some tutorilas on making jar files and this is what i have done...
    i have created a manifest file called mainClass.txt which has
    Main-Class: MainWindow ,where MainWindow is my main class name.
    Then i ran the jar utility with this command line:
    jar cmf mainClass.txt example.jar *.class
    With this line, I told jar to create a JAR file (option c) with modifications to the manifest file (option m) as specified within mainClass.txt, naming the JAR file (option f) as example.jar and including everything that matches the pattern *Class
    everything is file till now but my problem is ...I have some library files from JFreechart software included in my GUI to generate barcharts..How can i include these library files in my example.jar file..
    Kindly help me
    Thanks
    byee

    I had this problem too. I ran my program out of JCreator and it worked flawlessly. I jarred it up into and Executable Jar and I would get a runtime error explaning I have not included the correct libraries.
    What I did was look at the error, for example say it said something like:
    org.uhoh.PathSys ClassDefNotFound (or something similar to this)
    What I did was extract the library that contained that class file. Then in my project file where I kept my classes I made the folder org, then in org I made uhoh. Inside uhoh I copied over PathSys.class.
    I hope I addressed the problem you speak of. I am only a novice but this is how I figured it out. If anyone knows a better way let us know =D

    Hi Friends,
    I need on eurgent help on jar file,i need to make java application as an exe file.It is standalone swing application ,I want to make it as one double clickable exe file or i want to make it as jar file (it should execute when double c;licked.)If i can make a single jar file,there are some tools to make it as exe file.Now i can make my applicationa as sinlgle jar file which executes finely.But the problem i m facing is that, resource part.I have a properties file in the root folder.I want to read and write to the properties file.I can make it if it is at the root folder.But if it is inside the jar ,how can i write properteis file.I am able to read the properties fileinside the jar file using some Classlaoder,but i m not able to write the properties files inside the jar files.Please anybody can help me on this,/urgent please...I have read that somewhhere like jar file is read only so we cant write .Is there any way to do this ..hope someone helps..
    thanks in advance
    sumana

    I hope forums is for urgent help..No, they are not. Searching forums might provide urgent help, or as I mentioned before, hiring a consultant.
    ..Sory if i wrote any mistakes and for my bad english .:(I do not mind bad English, but I do mind laziness. Your constant use of 'u' and 'ur' are not things likely to make me want to help you.
    When you want my help, please do your best to [write well|http://catb.org/esr/faqs/smart-questions.html#writewell] *(<- link).*
    But back to the technical problem. ejp provided a good solution back in [reply 4|http://forums.sun.com/thread.jspa?messageID=11025978#11025978] *(<- link).*
    The only way I would tweak that solution is to put the properties file in a sub-directory of user.home based on the package name of the main class. That would help avoid name collisions between your app. and any other app. that might want to store (for example) user options.
    I completely agree that it makes no sense to convert a Jar to a .exe.
    On the other hand, if you can distribute from a web server and the application has a GUI, there is yet another option - [Java Web Start|http://java.sun.com/javase/technologies/desktop/javawebstart/index.jsp] *(<- link).*
    JWS offers many nice features for the end user, and also provides the PersistenceService to allow the app. to store small amounts of data. Where it stores the data, I neither know nor care, just so long as it available to the app. the next time it runs. Here is a small [demo. of the PersistenceService|http://pscode.org/jws/api.html#ps] *(<- link).*
    I would have provided that information around two days ago, when you first asked, but I was busy helping people who did not think their problem was more urgent than that of other people.
    And no, I am not your friend either, just another guy on a forum.

  • Help please - Updating .jar file and can't compile decompiled .java files.

    Ok, so there is a game on the internet called 'runescape', its a java applet that runs in the web browser from a cache in the windows directory.
    Basically im trying to edit this client so that i can run it away from their website (for use on a private server).
    The problem i am getting is that when i decompile the class files from the .jar into the .java files i can't recompile the .java files.
    E.G. I decompiled one of the .class files and tried to re-compile it agian straight away which brought me errors, i did this to rule out my editing as the problem.
    The jar file can be found [here.|http://world80.runescape.com/loader_gl397188536.jar] but the link will no double be dead after a few weeks.
    Can somebody please take a look and help me? I'm fairly new to java programming so if you could keep your answers as simple as possible that would be great, thanks.
    Ps. If this is the wrong section im sorry, i couldn't find the right section and this section seemed closest for me.

    i'm compiling using the javac command in a batch file, its displaying 100 errors but there are more, it seems to be showing that the syntax is incorrect as it is labeling brackets as being in the incorrect places.
    Decompiling error?
    As for being allowed to do this, im not so sure the company would approve but im only doing this for learning purposes and will not be releasing any of it upon the internet.

  • Need help compiling external jar files into my one jar file from cmd line

    Here is my problem, let me see if I can explain it right:
    I am making a jar file on my development computer that will run my java project. In this java project, it references a couple Java3D jar files. On my development computer, I create the jar file and it runs correctly, but when I move that jar file over to the test computer, the parts of the application needing those Java3D jars are not found in my jar I created. I isolated the problem and it is because those Java3D jar files I needed are not on my test machine. But that is the way I need it to be. I need it so that when I compile all my code on the development machine, I need it to also compile those two Java3D files into my one jar that I move to the test machine. You get what I'm saying? I must do all the compiling from the command line and have only one jar file to put on the test machine that contains all my compiled code and the two Java3D files needed to run some of the applications in the project.
    Here a brief sample of what I'm doing:
    To compile my java files in my project, I simply to this for all my files:
    javac file.java
    javac file2.java... and so on for all my java files.
    Then I create my jar file:
    jar -cfm MyJar.jar manifest.mf file.class
    jar -fmu MyJar.jar manifest.mf file2.class... and so on for all my class files.
    Also when compiling my jar file, I do this thinking that it would include the two Java3D jars into my one jar file:
    jar -fmu MyJar.jar manifest.mf jars/j3d-org-images.jar
    jar -fmu MyJar.jar manifest.mf jars/j3d-org.jar
    My manifest file looks something like this:
    Manifest-Version: 1.0
    Main-Class: Main
    Class-Path: jars/j3d-org.jar jars/j3d-org-images.jar
    Do I have to have that Class-Path in there pointing to those jar files? Those jar files will not exist on my test machine because the directory structure will not be the same. I've tried a manifest without specifying my Class-Path to those jar files, but I get the same problem when I run my application on the part that needs the Java3D files.
    The error I am getting is that there is a RasterTextLabel class inside one of those Java3D jar files that my application cannot access because those jar files are not on my test machine.
    So basically what I really need to know is how I get those two Java3D jar files compiled into my one jar file that I move to a test machine and run with the following command:
    java -jar MyJar.jar
    Can anyone help me??
    Thanks.

    Here what you need is to have all the files present in a single jar file, and the classpath is set properly to the required jar files.
    Do the following in steps:
    1)
    Create a custom manifest file,say mymanifest.mf, with the following contenets, put it in current directory:
    Manifest-Version: 1.0
    Created-By: 1.4.0_01 (Sun Microsystems Inc.)
    main-Class: Main
    Class-Path: jars/j3d-org.jar jars/j3d-org-images.jar <press ENTER key>
    2)
    jar -cfm MyJar.jar manifest.mf file.class
    jar -fmu MyJar.jar manifest.mf file2.class... and so on for all class files.
    3)
    jar -fmu MyJar.jar manifest.mf jars/j3d-org.jar
    jar -fmu MyJar.jar manifest.mf jars/j3d-org-images.jar
    (Make sure that j3d-org-images.jar and j3d-org.jar are present in a subdirectory called 'jars')
    Now you would be able to run,
    java -jar myjar.jar

    How should i run the jar file then? I am double clicking it yes.
    EDIT: i ran the program through command line and i got an error:
    Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NullPointerException
    at javax.swing.ImageIcon.<init>(Unknown Source)
    at PageFrame.<init>(PageFrame.java:41)
    at Main.main(Main.java:4)OK - so it looks like you've found a command line!
    You read these stack traces from the top down. Often the most interesting line is the first line that refers to your code. In this case line 41 of PageFrame.java which, I guess is this:
    ImageIcon icon = new ImageIcon(PageFrame.class.getResource(
            "images/skillimages/" + skillnames[i] + ".gif"));The ImageIcon constructor is grumbling about being told to construct an icon from a null resource. getResource() will return null if it cannot find the resource that you specify.
    The first thing to do is check that the .gif image is where it should be. You have specified it as "images/skillimages/etc" so use the command line to view the contents of the .jar file (or maybe Eclipse will let you do this). Next to PageFrame.class there should be a folder "images" and within it a folder "skillimages" and within that the image file. If not then your jar export has been seen up wrongly and is not including the required resource files.
    (The "View" command is explained here: [http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/deployment/jar/view.html].)
    Next check the case of the file names. On Windows getResource() will not worry about the cAsE of filenames so the resources will be located fine when running the program unjarred (including within Eclipse). But it does worry about the case of jar entry names. Bottom line: keep the file names all lower case because you use them that way in the code.
    Finally, in case it is a particular image resource that's causing the problem you could add some code to print out its name just before you try and create the icon.
    for (int i = 0; i < skills.length;i++){
        System.out.println(
                "About to make icon from " + "images/skillimages/" + skillnames[i] + ".gif");
        ImageIcon icon = new ImageIcon(PageFrame.class.getResource(
                "images/skillimages/" + skillnames[i] + ".gif"));
        skills[i] = new JLabel("00",icon,JLabel.CENTER);
    }

  • Need help in compiling jar file

    I have download the a jar file from http://www.geocities.com/itextpdf/.
    The problem is I do not know which file should i compile first.
    Anyone can help me detecting which file to compile first or a command for javac to compile the whole java file contains in the *.jar file?
    Please help me..
    Desperate to run the class file.
    Thank you

    Really Sorry to disturb you again..
    It has 100's of "****" cannot resolve symbol.
    u might have 100,s of it but only few classes will have dependencies
    try out different combination still if it has so many errors
    than
    little bit of intelligence is needed
    1)sort out the classes in different packages which are having high dependencies
    2) find out the class which has most dependices
    3) try all the ways to compile it first (comment the lines which has the reference to the uncompile class.
    4) than compile the other class
    i heard about the jar files having only class files
    when we make a jar file which are having the class files of our source we intrelligently write a script file to select the order to compile the source files
    try to find is there any jar ( containing the class files) available in the same site
    hope this will help

  • Help with creating jar file and running it ?

    Hey guys,
    I have a program with a package called classes and a sub-package called classes.mainLib.
    I am trying to create a JAR file of the class files in mainLib. There is only one class file in classes and that contains the main method. So this is what i am doing:
    1. create a manifest file with: Main-Class: classes.Cars
    2. from within the mainLib directory (./program_name/classes/mainLib/) i do this:
    jar cvf mainLib.jar manifest ./*.class
    3. Then i move this jar file to ./program_name/lib and change directory to ./program name/
    4. try to do this: java -jar ./lib/mainLib.jar
    But it errors with:
    gary@linuxbox:~/java/cars$ java -jar ./lib/mainLib.jar
    Failed to load Main-Class manifest attribute from
    ./lib/mainLib.jar
    Any ideas why this is happening. the manifest is included in the jar'ing
    Thanks.

    At a glance, it looks like you are placing only the
    class files in the jar and trying to navigate your
    classpath to run it. Instead, you have to place ALL
    the package folders into the jar from the root of
    your package hierarchy and the jar runs anywhere, in
    any folder. The packages are INSIDE the jar.
    also I see cars/classes in a path you describe ...and
    the program seems to wnat classes/Cars ??? Could
    this be an additional issue (or am I missing seeing
    something about your package structure)?Firstly, i believe all my spelling and cases are correct.
    I have the following strcuture:
    Cars.class (contains main) : package classes in ./classes directory
    All other classes : package classes.mainLib in ./classes/mainLib
    I would like to jar ALL files in mainLib but not the class that contains the main method. Is this possible?
    I'm not sure how clear i was earlier, hope this is more understandable.

  • Help with Using JAR files

    I'm attempting to run a Java program that is contained in a .JAR file. The problem is not with that .JAR but with referencing a second .JAR for support classes. The problem is that I've created a support .JAR with two classes: Compute and Task called "Compute.jar". I've created a second class "ComputeEngine.jar" (in case you're wondering, this is the RMI example from the Sun website). I'm trying to compile this in XCode (Mac OS X IDE) which I'm not too familiar with but getting the hang of it.
    I've gotten far enough to reference the Compute.jar in the compiling and building of ComputeEngine.jar but when I run the ComputeEngine.jar, I get nothing. So I use a terminal window to run the ComputeEngine.jar with "java" command. Here's what happens:
    I enter: java -cp /Developers/Projects/Compute/build/Compute.jar -jar "ComputeEngine.jar"And I get an error: Exception in thread "main" java.lang.ClassDefNotFoundError: compute/ComputeI'm not sure why this is happening. Here is the jar tf Compute.jar output:
    META-INF/
    META-INF/MANIFEST.MF
    compute/
    compute/Compute.class
    compute/Task.classAnyone have a clue?
    Thanks

    Thanks for the prompt response. Forgive my ignorace, but I'm new to JARs (actually wouldn't have been using it but for the fact that XCode defaults to that type of target). How do I specify the classpath in my jar? And which jar are we talking about? The Compute.jar or the ComputeEngine.jar?
    Thanks again.

    java -cp smpp.jar:smscsim.jar com.logica.smscsim.Simulator
    Can someone explain this line. Where do the jar files have to be located for this to work. also what is the function of the com.logica.smscsim.Simulator. Does it mean that the jar files should be in com.logica.smscsim. I try it and it gives me
    Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: com/logica/smscsim/Simulator
    And the Simulator.java file is in the com.logica.smscsim. The class path is set.
    Here is a web site that i got this from: http://opensmpp.logica.com/CommonPart/Introduction/Introduction.htm
    Thanks!

    cp is an abbrieviation for classpath java -classpath .... is equivalent to java -cp. In your case, the jars contain the Simulator class. If you opened on with winzip or winrar you would find the Simulator class in com/logica/smscsim folder. It doesn't matter where the jar files are located. The line that you put on there, however, assumes that you are executing the java command from the same folder where the jars are.
