How to access classes in jar files

hi I have added a jar file to my project in eclipse.How to access the classes in that jar file?

cu is right.
classloader returns the URL of your resource. You can the jar using something like the following...
ClassLoader classloader = this.getClassLoader();
url = classloader.getResource("your_resouces...");
if(url == null)
System.out.println("cannot find resource ");
return null;
String jar = url.getFile();
jar = jar.substring(jar.indexOf("/")+1, jar.lastIndexOf("!")).replace('/', '\\');
obviously, this code snippet works on windows only. Now you have the jar file path. I use Jar file classes to access the jar file. (e.g. you can search for each class files)

How to access additional supporting jar files from EJB JAR?

Hi,
How can we access additional supporting jar files as part of my EJB JAR .
I don't want to keep them in the top level because other EJB JAR files also has
the same jar files(code in the classes in the jar is slightly different)
can I keep the additional jar files in my EJB JAR?
Thanks

Include the supporting jar files in the Ejb jar file.
Specifiy the jar files in the Ejb jar manifest file.
Manifest-Version: 1.0 [CRLF]
Class-Path: utility.jar [CRLF]

How to convert .class into .jar file

How to convert .class into .jar file

Hi,
How to convert .class into .jar fileFrom a command prompt, cd to the location of your .class file(s).
If you want to create a simple jar, use: jar -cf Whatever.jar Whatever.class
If you want to compile all .class files in a directory into a jar, use *.class instead.
Now, I'm going to assume you want to create an executable jar... here's how to do that:
1) Create a blank text file; for this example, lets call it main.txt.
2) In the first line of main.txt, type: Main-class: Whatever ('Whatever' should be the name of the class in your program where the main() method is located)
3) Press enter to go to the next line (someone please correct me if I'm wrong, but if you don't insert the line break/CR after the Main-class: statement, this will not work... in my experience, this is true)
4) Make sure you save this file in the same directory as your .class file(s).
5) Type: jar -cmf Whatever.jar main.txt Whatever.class
...and that's about it. For more information on the usage of the jar command and to understand the switches (such as -cmf), try jar --help.
Hope that helps.

Problem accessing class in jar file

Hello. I am trying to create a jar file from my already compiled classes. I have around 5 packages, and my programs' entry point is in one of the packages, we'll call package A. Each package has its own purpose and package A calls any needed package to perform their task. This works well when I compile, run and all. However, when I create a jar file, it only works with the local package and any calls to another package do not work. How can I get around this? any help will be appreciated

How to load class from jar file dynamically?

After I run my Java applicatoin, I need configuring the classpath of jvm to load some classess inside a jar file into the same jvm.How can I achive that?
I mean, when I run my Java application, I don't know where the jar file is, what the jar file name is. All depends on the user to tell the jvm the details through some UI. I've tried to write: System.setProperty("java.class.path", "c:\myClass.jar");Class.forName("MyClass"); but failed.
Can you tell my why and how?
Thx

Can you tell my why and how?The usual way is to use a custom classloader.
You can start by looking at java.net.URLClassLoader.

Problems accessing class in JAR file [err = -4000]

Hi, my setup is as follows ....
I have a seq file that is accessing a Java class file, TestStandClient.java. something like
public class TestStandClient
   public String test (String arg)
      String returnVal = "";
      try
         TestClass testClass = new TestClass ();
         returnVal = testClass .test (arg);
      catch (Exception e)
         returnVal = e .toString();
      return returnVal;
TestClass.java is
public class TestClass
   public String test (String arg)
      return arg + " : [Jar object has modified string]";
Now. TestClass is in a seperate jar. When TestStandClient :: test is called i get a -4000 error. From the readme in the Java example file it is described as ....
Error
reading returned string
The
string returned from Java was corrupt. Verify that the return type of the Java
method is a string value.
I have noticed if I take out the call to the object in the jar file then everything works ok.
Could it be a classpath problem? the StartJVM has its classpath
pointing at the folder where the jar is and also at where the
TestStandClient class file is. I also set the classpath for the Java
step to be the same (location of jar and class file)
So, can someone inform me of what support TestStand has for java? Does it support communicating with a class file that itself depends on other JAR files? This is surely the case?
thanks in advance

Dear PCR Barry,
I am afraid that I must agree with my colleague Kostas, who replied to your first teststand post. These are very tricky, indepth issues, and will require quite significant investigation. Furthermore, it will be very difficult for us to answer via the forums as we will likely need more input from yourself. As previously suggested, if you have a Standard Service Program (SSP), you can generate a Service Request by calling or e-mailing your local branch.
Thank you for your time, and I am sorry that I have been unable to help you further,
Best wishes,

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?

How to pack .class or .jar with jvm into an exe file?

In fact, .class or .jar files are middle layer files who need JVM to explain and run them. Sometimes it's unconvenient. Why not provide some tools to pack .class or .jar with jvm into exe file?

because java should be able to run on any OS. That is why SUN doesn't provide such tool. There are other company's who does provide such tool. Like JBuilder enterprise

If it's the latter then you need to make the jar file including a manifest.
The manifest can be just a txt file with its content to be something like this:
Manifest-Version: 1.0
Ant-Version: Apache Ant 1.7.1
Created-By: Somebody
Main-Class: NameOfTheMainClass
Class-Path:
X-COMMENT: Main-Class will be added automatically by buildTo make the jar file including the manifest, use something like this in your command prompt (of course you must have compiled your java file(s) first):
jar cfm test.jar MANIFEST.txt NameOfTheMainClass.classAfter that you'd be able to run your application just by double clicking it.
If you're a NetBeans user, you can build your standalone application by right-clicking your project and then going to properties => run => and choosing a Main class. After that right click on that project and "Clean and Build", locate the jar file in the "dist" folder and double click it =]
Hope it helps,

How to call function in jar file?

First, I can't write english well.(I'm korean.. ) sorry about that.
I have known function in jar file.
but I don't know how to call function in jar file.
how can I this work?
My project and another project are respectively developing D-project with me and other man.
so i need it. or I can't do this work.
I will paste other's source code in my source code.
and then recomplie , build it.. but it is not my wish!
thanks for reading my sentence.

If you have a jar file with a class that you wish to use, then you must add the jar file to your class path ($CLASSPATH on unix, linux, etc. and %CLASSPATH% on Windows).
Then you can use the class normally, just as you would if it were not in the jar.
If you meant something else, you'll need to explain what you meant.

How do you convert a jar file into a java file, ?

how do you convert a jar file into a java file ?
I am new to Java ,but have a little experience in C++ and Visual Basic.
I want to edit and maybe create my own mobile games that are written or converted into jar files.
At the moment I am using Java NetBeans , and Easy Java( the java pad).
However the only solution I tried was to open the JAR file in winrar and see that its made up of png picture files,
midi music files and class files. Unfortunately when I uncompressed the JAR file , there was NO java file to be seen and the JAVA editors Do not show the class file like a Java file. So why is there no extension Java file in the mobile JAR game ?

I want to edit and maybe create my own mobile games that are written or converted into jar files.Eh?
Are you saying you want to take existing games and modify them? If the creators allow you to modify their source, then they'll provide you with that source (the .java files). If you're allowed to add things but not modify, you don't need .java files. Just documentation, which, again, the creators should be providing.
Or are you saying you want to create your own games and distribute them in jar files? If so, there's no need to turn jars into .java.
