How to include grouplayout in my .jar file.

Hello,
I have a program that works great on my comptuer and the one in my lab. I would like to deploy this .jar file to other systems, but these other systems are only running JRE 1.5.0_10-b03. The problem, as I understand it, is that swing.grouplayout first appeared in JRE1.6.XX so these older versions don't have the proper librairies to run this.
How do I include the grouplayout class with my .jar file. I have searched all over my HDD and cannot find the grouplayout class file to include. Am I on the right track?
Thanks!

How to include externel library in JAR file?

Hi all =)
I have a program that uses an external library (in a JAR file) I would like to compile my program as a JAR and have it include the external library that it needs to run, so that the external library would not need to be on the computer running my program. How can I do this?
Thanks =)

Ok I was able to make my JAR and launch my application correctly. However whenever I click a button that has a method using my external library I get the following error:
C:\Documents and Settings\Koneko>java -jar D:\Mangment.jar
Exception in thread "AWT-EventQueue-0" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/apache/poi/poifs/filesystem/POIFSFileSystem at managment_system.ManagmentGUI.getNextStat(ManagmentGUI.java:569) at managment_system.ManagmentGUI$1.actionPerformed(ManagmentGUI.java:195)
I do not get this error when I run and use my program from within the IDE.
The JAR that has my external library (and has the class for POIFileSystem) is also on my D drive and i referenced it correctly (I think) In my classpath:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<classpath>
     <classpathentry kind="src" path=""/>
     <classpathentry kind="con" path="org.eclipse.jdt.launching.JRE_CONTAINER"/>
     <classpathentry kind="lib" path="D:/poi.jar"/>
     <classpathentry kind="output" path=""/>
</classpath>I would really like to get this working and I'm very confused XP

How to Include more than one jar files

My application uses more than one jar files. And all the jar files i am using are signed. when i include the jar files, i am including them in the resources section of the ".jnlp" file . The section of code looks like this:
<resources>
<jar href="utestfw.jar" main="true" download="eager"/>
<jar href="crimson.jar"/>
<jar href="jaxp.jar"/>
</resources>
<application-desc main-class="utestfw.ObjectBrowser"/>
The deployment of the application is successful. The jar file - "utestfw.jar" contains the application main class when the application is launched it works, but when i choose the feature which involves the classes of either "crimson.jar" or "jaxp.jar" , the application terminates and the webstart console and the application is closed automatically. Am i wrong in adding the jar files? what is the way to add more than one jar files to the ".jnlp" file.
Can anyone please help me?
-Aparna

I'll post u the jnlp file which i am using. To sign all the jars i've used the same alias ( a self signed certificate using keytool and jarsigner).Here is the jnlp file:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

How can I get a single jar file with NetBeans?
When I create the project I get these files:
dist/lib/libreria1.jar
dist/lib/libreria2.jar
dist/software.jar
The libraries that have been imported to create the project are in separate folders:
libreria1/libreria1.jar
libreria2/libreria2.jar
libreria1, libreria2, dist folders are all located inside the project folder.
I added the following code to the build.xml:
<target name="-post-jar">

How to create and use library JAR files with command-line tools?

Development Tools -> General Questions:
I am trying to figure out how to put utility classes into JAR files and then compile and run applications against those JAR files using the command-line javac, jar, and java tools. I am using jdk1.7.0_17 on Debian GNU/Linux 6.0.7.
I have posted a simple example with one utility class, one console application class, and a Makefile:
http://holgerdanske.com/users/dpchrist/java/examples/jar-20130520-2134.tar.gz
Here is a console session:
2013-05-20 21:39:01 dpchrist@desktop ~/sandbox/java/jar
$ cat src/com/example/util/Hello.java
package com.example.util;
public class Hello {
    public static void hello(String arg) {
     System.out.println("hello, " + arg);
2013-05-20 21:39:12 dpchrist@desktop ~/sandbox/java/jar
$ cat src/com/example/hello/HelloConsole.java
package com.example.hello;

chmod +x hello
2013-05-20 21:39:28 dpchrist@desktop ~/sandbox/java/jar
$ ./hello
hello, world!I believe I am looking for:
1. Command-line invocation of "jar" to put the utility class bytecode file (Hello.class) into a JAR?
2. Command-line invocation of "javac" to compile the application (HelloConsole.java) against the JAR file?
3. Command-line invocation of "java" to run the application (HelloConsole.class) against the JAR file?
I already know how t compile the utility class file.
Any suggestions?
TIA,
David

I finally figured it out:
1. All name spaces must match -- identifiers, packages, file system, JAR contents, etc..
2. Tools must be invoked from specific working directories with specific option arguments, all according to the project name space.
My key discovery was that if the code says
import com.example.util.Hello;then the JAR must contain
com/example/util/Hello.classand I must invoke the compiler and interpreter with an -classpath argument that is the full path to the JAR file
-classpath ext/com/example/util.jarThe code is here:
http://holgerdanske.com/users/dpchrist/java/examples/jar-20130525-1301.tar.gz
Here is a console session that demonstrates building and running the code two ways:
1. Compiling the utility class into bytecode, compiling the application class against the utility bytecode, and running the application bytecode against the utility bytecode.
2. Putting the (previously compiled) utility bytecode into a JAR and running the application bytecode against the JAR. (Note that recompiling the application against the JAR was unnecessary.)
(If you don't know Make, understand that the working directory is reset to the initial working directory prior to each and every command issued by Make):

How do I deploy an external JAR file

Hello,
How do I deploy an external JAR file?
I am grateful for every hint.

Hi Manuel,
If you read my blog mentioned in the beginning of the thread, you will note that such solution is not supported in our engine due to number of reasons.
Please, read the blog and use application library shared among these two applications. You will achieve the same effect. Please note that the using application will need run and deploy-time dependencies to the shared library.
You should not add files to any of the folders manually or manipulate engine's classpath in such situations.

Can I include dlls in a jar file for deployment?

I have a set of dll's I need to deploy (some kind of database driver needed along with my java application) in a client/server situation. Instead of copying these dll's to the client's system32 folder on windows, can I simply include these dll's in the jar file containing my java applications?

No it was just to make everything cleaner. But if I have to take them outside of the jar file, then like you say there's no benefit in putting them in there in the first place.
As for having the dll's in the same directory or a sub directory, how can I load them then? Using the function System.loadLibrary?

Including a DLL in JAR file (Comm API)

Writing a little app that interfaces with serial port device using the communications API and I'd like to bundle it into an executable JAR. JBuilder will create the JAR for me fine, but the issue is with the win32com.dll file thats part of the comms API. I need to include this, I don't think its possible to include as part of the executable, but otherwise the DLL needs to be in the windows\system folder. Could I include the dll as part of the JAR archive and then extract it upon runtime? If so how would I go about this?
Any help much appreciated.

There is another option. Native libraries need to reside within the java.library.path location. As it turns out, if you, at runtime, grab this property and ADD your own location to it, then set it back in to the System.setProperty() call, it will NOT work. The only way to do it is the -Djava.library.path value that tjmaven suggested.
However, if you read up on how a native library is found, it uses the ClassLoader.loadLibrary() which calls the protected findLibrary() method. You can therefore extend ClassLoader to find a path yourself.
One way is to extend URLClassLoader since it has the protection/security stuff AND the ability to look in .jar files for you. Your custom loader is created by a "launcher" class in your .jar file. First, your luancher uses getClass().getProtectionDomain().getCodeSource().getLocation() to get the absolute location of the .jar file its executing within. From there, you open the jar and look for your native library, extract it using the JAR api to a location of your choosing. Now, you instantiate the custom classloader and using this custom loader instance you load the rest of your classes. The main .jar file contains two classes, the launcher and the custom classloader, and contains the native library if you wish to do it this way. The custom classloader, you specify a URL[] of "classpath" entries. You bundle up the rest of your source in a second .jar file that you pass to the URL[] when creating the custom classloader. It will find all your classes in the 2nd jar no sweat. You can even "reload" these classes on the fly by recreating the custom classloader instance if you so wish to add a sort of "reload" feature.
Now, in your custom classloader, you override the findLibrary() and return the SAME STRING PATH that you used to unjar your native files to. This way, when the JVM asks your custom loader to load the library at some path, you return the right path to find the native files in.
I haven't verified that this works just yet, but I will soon. Primarily, my plugin engine over at www.platonos.org will support the ability to place native libraries in plugins, allowing you to effectively wrap a native library use as a plugin. Not yet working, but we'll soon have it in place.

How do i find and download jar files?

I have some old code and it uses import com.sun.java_cup.internal.parser
When compiling gives error on this.
Googleing this shows that its part of the rt.jar file. rt.jar is in the jre/lib folder. That is part of my classpath but still wont compile how do i find what an import belongs to and where can i download these jar files..
Java really is not a friendly language to me.

You don't need to download the rt.jar or do anything with it since it's an integral part of the JRE. If a class isn't there, then because you have too old a JRE/JDK and it's not there yet, or because it was never part of the public API and is gone now.
When I google, I only find references to Java 6. So you probably need that, which means the sources can't be sooo old.

How to put Chinese character in jar file by java.util.jar.Manifest?

Now I want to develop a simple package tool which can modify some property in manifest.mf of jar files,but the Manifest class's putValue method only can correctly save English character.why?
And how can I put Chinese character?
the code is:
Attributes ab = mf.getMainAttributes();
ab.putValue("agent-Name", agent);

Attribute values can contain any character and it will be UTF-8 encoded when written to the manifest, according to Javadoc.
What makes you think that this mechanism fails? What do you see instead of the Chinese character? And what tool/editor/program you use to see it? I did not try myself, but according to the Javadoc there should be no problem.

Include an in-memory jar file for JSR-199 compilation

I want to compile a source file in memory, which requires a jar file that is also represented in memory. I used the JavaSourceFromString class recommended in the documentation for the class JavaCompiler and in a demo I found online that shows how to compile sources represented as String in memory. To represent the jar file, I used a similar trick to JavaSourceFromString:
public class JarJavaFileObjectFromByteArray extends SimpleJavaFileObject {
   * The contents of this jar file.
private final byte[] contents;
   * Constructs a new JarJavaFileObjectFromByteArray given the name and binary
   * contents of a jar file.
   * @param name the name of this jar file
   * @param contents the contents of this jar file
public JarJavaFileObjectFromByteArray(String name, byte[] contents) {
    super(newURI(name), Kind.OTHER);
    this.contents = contents;
... // code not shown ensures that the URI returned from newURI is of the form,
      // for instance, bytes:///MathConstants.jar, if the name of the jar file is MathConstants.jar
@Override
public InputStream openInputStream() throws IOException {
    return new ByteArrayInputStream(contents);
}However, I do not know how to alert the compiler that this jar file should be on the classpath. I tried this:
List<String> options = Arrays.asList(" -classpath bytes:///MathConstants.jar ");
CompilationTask task = compiler.getTask(null, fileManager, null, options, null, compilationUnits);but I get the following error when calling getTask:
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: invalid flag: -classpath bytes:///MathConstants.jarI assume there is some way to tell the compiler, "look at the MathConstants.jar file that I am storing in memory when searching the classpath", but I do not know how to do this. I assumed that the options parameter for getTask represents command-line flags that would be passed to the compiler if this were happening on the command line (such as "-cp .", which also does not work), but perhaps this assumption is wrong.

Hi Bruce,
I have a question regarding loading a jar file by the compiler to dynamically compile with a source file. I hope you can probably offer me an idea on what has been missing or wrong with the source codes I have written for my application.
I am using Eclipse compiler to dynamically compile a class. In the class, I want it to make a reference to a jar file for compilation dynamically.
Here is the source of a test class I wrote:
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet;
class MyServlet extends HttpServlet {
}The import statement refers to the class javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet from the jar file C:\\Program Files\\Apache Software Foundation\\Tomcat 6.0\\lib\\servlet-api.jar placed in the file system.
In the method called compileClass (shown below), I used the path of the jar file to add to the option -classpath as you suggested.
     private static CompileClassResult compileClass(Writer out, String className, String classSource) {
          try {
               JavaCompiler javac = new EclipseCompiler();
               StandardJavaFileManager sjfm = javac.getStandardFileManager(null, null, null);
               SpecialClassLoader scl = new SpecialClassLoader();
               SpecialJavaFileManager fileManager = new SpecialJavaFileManager(sjfm, scl);
               List<String> options = new ArrayList<String>();
               options.addAll(Arrays.asList("-classpath", "C:\\Program Files\\Apache Software Foundation\\Tomcat 6.0\\lib\\servlet-api.jar"));
               List<MemorySource> compilationUnits = Arrays.asList(new MemorySource(className, classSource));
               DiagnosticListener<JavaFileObject> diagnosticListener = null;
               Iterable<String> classes = null;
               if (out == null) {
                    out = new PrintWriter(System.err);
               JavaCompiler.CompilationTask compile = javac.getTask(out, fileManager, diagnosticListener, options, classes, compilationUnits);
               boolean res = compile.call();
               if (res) {
                    //Need to modify the api to return an array of two elements - one classes and other bytecodes for all classes in the same class file.
                    return CompileClassResult.newInstance(scl.findClasses(), scl.findByteCodes());
          } catch (Exception e) {
               e.printStackTrace();
          return null;
     }I also extended the class ForwardingJavaFileManager as you suggested and have it delegated to the StandardJavaFileManager sent to the compiler mentioned in the method compileClass above. The extended class (called SpecialJavaFileManager) is as follows:
public class SpecialJavaFileManager extends ForwardingJavaFileManager<StandardJavaFileManager> {
     private SpecialClassLoader xcl;
     public SpecialJavaFileManager(StandardJavaFileManager sjfm, SpecialClassLoader xcl) {
          super(sjfm);
          System.out.println("SpecialJavaFileManager");
          this.xcl = xcl;
     public JavaFileObject getJavaFileForOutput(Location location, String name, JavaFileObject.Kind kind, FileObject sibling) throws IOException {
          System.out.println("getJavaFileForOutput");
          MemoryByteCode mbc = new MemoryByteCode(name);
          xcl.addClass(name, mbc);
          return mbc;
     public Iterable<JavaFileObject> list(JavaFileManager.Location loc, String pkg, Set kinds, boolean recurse) throws IOException {
          System.out.println("list ");
        List<JavaFileObject> result = new ArrayList<JavaFileObject>();
        for (JavaFileObject f : super.list(loc, pkg, kinds, recurse)) {
             System.out.println(f);
            result.add(f);
          return result;
}I run the application and the result shows that it didn't load the jar file into the memory as expected. From the output (below) I got, it doesn't seem to invoke the method list(...) in the class SpecialJavaFileManager.

Thanks.
