HowTo run a .jar file??

Hi
I downloaded jpodder. It is a jar file.
How do I run it?
[chris@traumschiff Desktop]$ java -jar jpodder1.0RC2-Linux.jar
kaffe-bin: machine.c:256: translate: Zusicherung »reinvoke == false« nicht erfüllt.
Abgebrochen

What have I to do?

Zusicherung »reinvoke == false« nicht erfüllt.

Hmmm... sounds like an assert failure of some kind...
my interpretation of babelfish wrote:Assert "reinvoke == false" failed. Terminating.
That sounds like it thinks it's already running, and so doesn't start a second instance.
Of course, I'm just speculating here... I have no solid idea of what's happening.

How can i run a jar file as EXE on mouse click..

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 run a jar file in a browswer?

Hi, everyone:
I got a problem here. I would like to run my jar file in a html-based brower, should I write another applet for my jar file? How can I do that? (I don't have applet in my jar file, but only JFrame) Is there any way I can put a runnable jar file into an applet and show on the brower? Could anyone show me how to write this code? Thank you very much!!
-jxchou

At first you need a java plug-in for your browser.
Next you have to implement an applet in your jar-file.
The tag in your html-document should look like:
<applet code="Sample.class" archive="sample.jar" width="400" height="400"></applet>

How to run a JAR file in Unix system?

hi there
ca anyone tell me how to run a JAR file in unix system or X window, thank you

You want to create an executable JAR file? You do it in the following way.
Create a manifest file such as manif.txt and the contents should contain
Main-Class: foo
assuming foo is the name of your main class. Then create the jar as follows
jar cvfm foo.jar manif.txt foo.class
I hope that helps you!
you can find more info here http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/jar/

OutOfMemory Exception while running a JAR file

Hi,
I am working with Java 1.5 and using Eclipse to build a GUI. My application has intensive image loading involved so I set -Xmx inside Eclipse when running the application in debug mode.
However, once a JAR file is exported, I do not know how to specify the heap size required to run the program. Is there a way to ...
1. embed the heap size info inside the JAR file?
2. specify a heap size when running the JAR file?
Thanks in advance.

Heap size is specified by the -Xmx option on the java command. See the java command documentation.

Running a jar file from java code

Hi!
Im trying to run a jar file from my code.
I've tried Classloader, but that doesnt work because it doesnt find the images (also embedded in the 2nd jar file).
WHat I would like to do is actually RUN the 2nd jar file from the first jar file. There must be a way to do this right?
any ideas?

ok, I found some wonderful code (see below) that will try to start the jar. But it doesn't. What it does is produce the following error when my application runs...
So it's not finding the images in the jar file that I am trying to run? Strange. I checked the URL that sending, but it seems ok....
I think I will check the url again to make sure......
any ideas?

Unable to Run a .jar file in pjava

I have installed pjava (for StrongArm) on to my iPAQ Pocket PC H3660.
Then I created a simple application using JBuilder and created a *.jar file of the classes. I have used the awt classes to build the interface. I am using JDK version 1.3.0.
When I deploy it into my Pocket PC and run the jar file, the compiler loads up and I get the error message "Cannot find class : packagename.classname".
I have checked the jar file contents in JBuilder and the class files are all in there.
Could anyone help me on this? Thanks!

If you are compiling with JDK1.3 (or any compiler > java 1.1.8), you have to use the parameter "-target 1.1" to make sure the class files will be loaded by a 1.1 JVM. Jeode doesn't seem to care about this setting, but when we switched to Creme the problem arose.

Getting error when running the jar file..

Hi All,
I am new to executing jar file..Actually i have one class which contains the following code.
import com.documentum.fc.client.DfClient;
import com.documentum.fc.client.IDfClient;
import com.documentum.fc.client.IDfSession;
import com.documentum.fc.client.IDfSessionManager;
import com.documentum.fc.common.DfLoginInfo;
import com.documentum.fc.common.IDfLoginInfo;
import com.documentum.fc.common.DfException;
import com.fidelity.ftg.ereviewg2.migration.util.MigrationResource;
* This class is used for creating docbase connection
* *@type* DocbaseConnection
* *@author* a405304
* *@see*
public *class *DocbaseConnection {
//public static ResourceBundle resource;
IDfSessionManager sMgr = *null*;
IDfSession session = *null*;
String docbaseName;
*private* *static* DocbaseConnection +docbaseCon+;
* Constructor for DocbaseConnection
* *@throws* DfException
* *@throws* Exception
*private* DocbaseConnection()*throws* DfException, Exception{
//ResourceBundle bundle = ResourceBundle.getBundle(Constants.RESOURCE_PATH,Locale.getDefault());
MigrationResource bundle = MigrationResource.+getBundle+();
String userId = bundle.getString("DOCBASE_USERID");
String password = bundle.getString("DOCBASE_PASSWORD");
docbaseName = bundle.getString("DOCBASE_NAME");
IDfClient client = DfClient.+getLocalClient+();
sMgr = client.newSessionManager();
IDfLoginInfo loginInfo = *new* DfLoginInfo();
loginInfo.setUser( userId );
loginInfo.setPassword( password );
loginInfo.setDomain("");
sMgr.setIdentity( docbaseName, loginInfo );
session= sMgr.getSession( docbaseName );
System.+out+.println("# Connected to Docbase: "+session);
}Now i create the jar file whose name is docbaseconnection.jar
Now when i am running this jar file by using the following command then i am getting the following error..
C:\JAR_FILES>java -jar docbaseconnection.jar
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: com/documentum/fc/client/DfQuery
For running this docbaseconnection.jar file i need the following thing in classpath...
C:\Program Files\Documentum\dctm.jar;C:\Program Files\Documentum\Shared\dfc.jar;C:\Program Files\Documentum\Shared\log4j.jar
I already add this jar files in the classpath of environment variables..Then also i am getting the same error..
Kindly help me...........

Well, let´s supose your manifest is defined as I did in my previous post. So, your directory base should be something like:
C:\dir
docbaseconnection.jar
dctm.jar
dfc.jar
anotherlibraries.jar
But, let´s supose you want something like
C:\dir
docbaseconnection.jar
lib (folder, which contains dctm.jar, dfc.jar, etc)
Then you should change the class-path of your manifest to
Class-Path: ./lib/dctm.jar ./lib/dfc.jar
That´s what I meant

Button action - run separate jar file

My first post here (hopefully many more to be:D) and I have an interesting question which I haven't thought out how to realize it.
Imagine you run the NetBeans template for a sample GUI application. You add a button, and the action of the button when pressed to be to run another jar file (and maybe pass parameters to it).
How can I do that? Or is it even possible? I know that it isn't simple as to import the other project and to set the action to "java -jar theotherapp.jar".

Thanks for the fast reply and for the good suggestion.
I think I'll try with ProcessBuilder (I used Java till recently only for data structures and similar, so all of these stuff -gui building, making desktop apps, is new to me :D people only have to be pointed into the right direction).

Help with running java .jar file

Hi I just installed java with
# pacman -S jre

do, what vintendo says. because it cant find the java in the default paths.

Run applications ( .jar files) by bash on linux

On linux:
I have a swing application and its jar file. I created an executable file using bash script to run the jar file
#!/bin/bash
java -jar myapp.jar
this runs in console normally but when i clicked the executable file, the application runs too but immediately closes. I think the problem is that this can't recognize the swing-layout.jar (swing library) so that the swing components (JFrame,Jbutton) cannot be showed!
There must be a way for the executable file to recognize the libraries (swing, layouts) for the application by using bash script ?

There can be number of reasons for that. I suggest you following way:
1. Modify your script in following way:
#!/bin/bash
java -jar myapp.jar 2>/tmp/log.err 1>/tmp/log.out
After unsuccesful execution check content of /tmp/log.* files and see details of the error.
Often such errors are caused by environment. May be you just don have java in your PATH .. May
be DISPLAY is not set .. I don't know.
To workaround env issue you need to dump environmentin from console:
declare -x >env.sh
After that include update your .sh script in following way and see the difference:
#!/bin/bash
. env.sh
java -jar myapp.jar 2>/tmp/log.err 1>/tmp/log.out
