Making Executable Jar file using java Application

Following Program creates the jar file at specified location. but, I wonder why this file does not execute on double clicking on it, in spite of that the Manifest file contain correct main class file name
//MakJar.java
import java.io.*;
public class MakJar
public static void main(String[] args)throws IOException{
Process p;
String str="D:\\Himesh\\JFiles";
try {
BufferedWriter out = new BufferedWriter(new FileWriter(str+"\\mainClass.txt"));
out.write("Main-Class: TestFrame\n");
out.close();
} catch (IOException e) {
try
p=Runtime.getRuntime().exec("cmd /c D:\\Java6\\jdk1.6.0\\bin\\javac.exe "+str+"\\TestFrame.java");
p=Runtime.getRuntime().exec("cmd /c D:\\Java6\\jdk1.6.0\\bin\\jar cvmf "+str+"\\mainClass.txt "+str+"\\Demo.jar "+str+"\\*.class");
catch(IOException e)
System.err.println("Error on exec() method");
e.printStackTrace();
}

Sir,
On execute the jar using a "java -jar. . ." command. it gives the error--
"Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError : TestFrame"
On Extracting the files from jar file made by the java program,i found that the manifist file ( containing the name of main class) and t the class file are included in the jar file.
But if I make the jar file manually it works perfectly.I have even reinstalled the java but the problem persists
Same thing happen if i use MS-DOS batch file.
??????If i put the batch file in the same directory and execute it The resulting jar file works,But
??????if the batch file is executed from outside the directory The resulting jar file fails execute.
what should i do???

Unable to create an executable jar file

Hi,
I am unable to create an executable jar file,
I am using the command as follows:
C\> jar cvfm MyJarName.jar manifest.txt Demo.class
where as Demo.class has appropriate main method; manifest.txt contains [ Main-Class: Demo ] and a new line
Please help.
thanks & regards

Your jar is perfectly generated, but your machine has a problem with .jar file associations.
You have two options:
1. Play with the registry. Dangereous if you are not used to.
2. Reinstall the jre.
Just to verify my theory, open a command prompt and the command:
reg query HKCR\jarfile\shell\open\command
What does it say? I have executed your command , here is the output
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\jarfile\shell\open\command
(Default) REG_SZ "C:\Program Files\Java\jre6\bin\javaw.exe" -jar "%1" %*I am not getting anything from this command, can you please explain clearly.
thanks & regards

Executing JAR Files Windows 98 and XP

Hey can someone please help me.
I made an executable jar file the extract contents of a jar file. In windows XP it runs fine, however in Widnows 98 it does not, has anyone come across this problem? Any info would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Well When I try, On a windows XP machine it shows the progress bar I made, and extracts all the files to the c drive. On Windows 98 It shows the progress bar but will not extract the files to the c: drive folder.
The program simply gets all the files that are within the jar file, and puts their names in a Vector, then takes the names from the Vector and Extrats the ones that need to be extracted.
Any other Ideas, I know this sounds very wacky thats why I am in need of help.
Thanks for the ideas.

How to get up and running with WebUtil 1.06 included with Oracle Developer Suite 10.1.2.0.2 on a win32 platform
Solution
Assuming a fresh "Complete" install of Oracle Developer Suite 10.1.2.0.2,
here are steps to get a small test form running, using WebUtil 1.06.
Note: [OraHome] is used as an alias for your real oDS ORACLE_HOME.
Feel free to copy this note to a text editor, and do a global find/replace on
[OraHome] with your actual value (no trailing slash). Then it is easy to
copy/paste actual commands to be executed from the note copy.
1) Download http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/jacob-project/jacob_18.zip
and extract to a temporary staging area. Do not attempt to use 1.7 or 1.9.
2) Copy or move jacob.jar and jacob.dll
[JacobStage] is the folder where you extracted Jacob, and will end in ...\jacob_18
     cd [JacobStage]
     copy jacob.jar [OraHome]\forms\java\.
     copy jacob.dll [OraHome]\forms\webutil\.
The Jacob staging area is no longer needed, and may be deleted.
3) Sign frmwebutil.jar and jacob.jar
Open a DOS command prompt.
Add [OraHome]\jdk\bin to the PATH:
     set PATH=[OraHome]\jdk\bin;%PATH%
Sign the files, and check the output for success:
     [OraHome]\forms\webutil\sign_webutil [OraHome]\forms\java\frmwebutil.jar
     [OraHome]\forms\webutil\sign_webutil [OraHome]\forms\java\jacob.jar
4) If you already have a schema in your RDBMS which contains the WebUtil stored code,
you may skip this step. Otherwise,
Create a schema to hold the WebUtil stored code, and privileges needed to
connect and create a stored package. Schema name "WEBUTIL" is recommended
for no reason other than consistency over the user base.
Open [OraHome]\forms\create_webutil_db.sql in a text editor, and delete or comment
out the EXIT statement, to be able to see whether the objects were created witout
errors.
Start SQL*Plus as SYSTEM, and issue:
     CREATE USER webutil IDENTIFIED BY [password]
     DEFAULT TABLESPACE users
     TEMPORARY TABLESPACE temp;
     GRANT CONNECT, CREATE PROCEDURE, CREATE PUBLIC SYNONYM TO webutil;
     CONNECT webutil/[password]@[connectstring]
     @[OraHome]\forms\create_webutil_db.sql
     -- Inspect SQL*Plus output for errors, and then
     CREATE PUBLIC SYNONYM webutil_db FOR webutil.webutil_db;
Reconnect as SYSTEM, and issue:
     grant execute on webutil_db to public;
5) Modify [OraHome]\forms\server\default.env, and append [OraHome]\jdk\jre\lib\rt.jar
to the CLASSPATH entry.
6) Start the OC4J instance
7) Start Forms Builder and connect to a schema in the RDBMS used in step (4).
Open webutil.pll, do a "Compile ALL" (shift-Control-K), and generate to PLX (Control-T).
It is important to generate the PLX, to avoid the FRM-40039 discussed in
Note 303682.1
If the PLX is not generated, the Webutil.pll library would have to be attached with
full path information to all forms wishing to use WebUtil. This is NOT recommended.
8) Create a new FMB.
Open webutil.olb, and Subclass (not Copy) the Webutil object to the form.
There is no need to Subclass the WebutilConfig object.
Attach the Webutil.pll Library, and remove the path.
Add an ON-LOGON trigger with the code
         NULL;
to avoid having to connect to an RDBMS (optional).
Create a new button on a new canvas, with the code
         show_webutil_information (TRUE);
in a WHEN-BUTTON-PRESSED trigger.
Compile the FMB to FMX, after doing a Compile-All (Shift-Control-K).
9) Under Edit->Preferences->Runtime in Forms Builder, click on "Reset to Default" if
the "Application Server URL" is empty.
Then append "?config=webutil" at the end, so you end up with a URL of the form
      http://server:port/forms/frmservlet?config=webutil
10) Run your form.sarah

[b]Simple Deploy problem- making an Executable JAR File ...PLEASE HELP [/b]

Hi all,
I Trying to deploy a simple J2SE app by making an Executable JAR File, however I don'r understand how to add a valid value to the Main Class field.
I followed the following description within Jdev, after creating a Deployment Profile:
Deploying an Executable JAR File
You can make your simple archive or J2EE Client Module into an executable JAR file that you can launch with the java command.
To deploy an executable JAR file:
1) Select and right-click the simple archive or client icon in the Navigator to display the context menu.
2) Choose Properties.
3) Click JAR Options in the tree.
4) Select Include Manifest File (META-INF/MANIFEST.MF).
5) In the Main Class field, enter the fully qualified name of the application class that is to be invoked.
7) Click OK.
8) Launch the executable JAR file from the command line:
java -jar myapp.jar
where myapp represents your JAR file name.
Like I said it's in 5) I'm doing something worng
My deploy-file (PlotPrint.deploy) looks the following:

According to the Jar Guide (http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/guide/jar/jarGuide.html)
Executable Jar Files
On Microsoft Windows systems, the Java 2 Runtime Environment's installation program will register a default association for Jar files so that double-clicking a Jar file on the desktop will automatically run it with javaw -jar. Dependent extensions bundled with the application will also be loaded automatically. This feature makes the end-user runtime environment easier to use on Microsoft Windows systems.
The Solaris 2.6 kernel has already been extended to recognize the special "magic" number that identifies a Jar file, and to invoke java -jar on such a Jar file as if it were a native Solaris executable. A application packaged in a Jar file can thus be executed directly from the command line or by clicking an icon on the CDE desktop.
Despite that every JAR file can be executed as a program if and only if the META-INF/Manifest.mf contains the Main-Class tag. This done through java -jar jarfile.jar

Executable JAR file: Could not find the main class.

Hello,
I have a problem with making an executable JAR file.
I have written a JAVA program that consists of five different classes of which User.java is the main class and I have saved a text document with Main-Class: User and a blank line after that.
If I try:
jar cmf MainClass.txt User.jar User.class Beheerder.class Operator.class Manager.class MaakVisueelSchema.class
it makes a executable jar file which actually works! :)
But when the Operator class trys to open the MaakVisueelSchema class the screen stays blank.
I can run MaakVisueelSchema with java MaakVisueelSchema.
So I tried to make an executable JAR that consists only of MaakVisueelSchema, the same way as I did for User:
Main-Class: MaakVisueelSchema
jar cmf MainClass.txt MaakVisueelSchema.jar MaakVisueelSchema.class
Then I get the error message:
Could not find the main class. Program will exit.
from the Java Virtual Machine Launcher.
The big difference between MaakVisueelSchema and the other classes is that MaakVisueelSchema contains a PaintComponent method and an ComponentListener. Is it possible that one of those creates the error?
Can anyone help me with this problem?
Thanks in advance!
Bye!

Yes,
I tried:
jar xvf MaakVisueelSchema.jar
and it returns:
META-INF/
META-INF/MANIFEST.MF
MaakVisueelSchema.classN/G. You need to manually create a manifest file in a text editor, have it point to your main class, and enter it in your jar command as an argument.

Deploying Java Desktop App using executable JAR files

Hi there.
Today I am very optimistic about java. I am a beginner, and I had tried (in my few free time) to understand how to deploy java desktop apps.
I am using the lattest NetBeans IDE to do the programming and it is very very fast and optimized.
Going to the point, I tried some time ago to deploy an application (made with this IDE) using JAR files, but even though the application run well on my IDE, when I packed it, it rised an error saying that
java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/netbeans/lib/awtextra/AbsoluteLayout
I was using an absolute layout on my JFrame forms and this AbsoluteLayout is provided by netbeans and not by the normal SDK.
I then looked for the absolute layout class and found a jar file in the following path:
C:\netbeans\modules\ext\AbsoluteLayout.jar
So I mounted the Jar file in my File Systems and then added the contents of the file to myApp.Jar file.
I used the automated Jar Recipe Packaging feature of netbeans, that is why I needed to mount the AbsoluteLayout.jar file into my file systems.
Now it runs fine by just right clicking the MyApp.jar file from Windows Explorer.
In a next reply to this topic I will include some sample code so that anybody requiring to do such implementation can take this for help.
Regards!
JN

Well,
I will take some time here to show the basic source code and procedure to create a desktop application, pack it up in a Jar file for deployment, add other classes or jars to the deployment jar file and finally open the jar file as an executable. This applies for either windows and linux environments.
Take in count i am using Netbeans IDE 3.x (3.5)
First I open the IDE and create a new project called MyDesktopApp. This is done by going to the menu Project / Project Manager. Then click on the New button and specify the project name and click on OK.
At this point, the Filesystems tab in the project explorer is empty. So I mount a directory to store myDesktopApp in it. I selected c:\MyDesktopApp but you can select any name you want.
To mount the directory you follow these steps:
1. Right-click on File Systems
2. From the contextual menu select Mount > Local Directory
3. In the filechooser window, you just browse it and SELECT the directory to mount. Be aware that you can even create the directory on this window. Do not enter (double-click) into the directory you want to mount, just select it and click on finish...
4.Then the directory entry appears under the filesystems node of the project explorer.
Now you have to create your application. You can either create a package (special configured and tracked directory) or you can create the clases directly inside the directory. For tidy project, I will create the package.
To create the package follow these instructions:
1. Right-click on the mounted directory and from the contextual menu select New > Java Package
2. In the New Wizard - Java Package window, type the package name and click on finish. I use the "MyDesktopApp" as package name.
OK. Now the package is created under the mounted directory. Now we have to create the Main Class. In this case I will use a JFRAME as the main class but you can create any class you want.
To create the JFRAME as main class follow these steps:
1. Right click on the java package you just created and select New>JFRAME from the contextual menu. If you do not see the JFRAME option on the NEW sub menu you will have to select the All Templates option. I explain the All Templates option now on, it will be easier to use the JFRAME if available. Once you use JFRAME with the all templates then the JFRAME will show up in further NEW usage.
2. So finally we used the All Templates, and you select the Java GUI Forms > JFRAME form option and click on NEXT.
3. Give it a name. (I used MyDesktopAppFrm) and click on finish. Be aware you can set advanced options by clicking on next. But for the purposes of this topic we will use default options so click on FINISH
4. A new JFRAME form appears inside your package. Right click on the form and select Set layout > Absolute Layout.
5. Add some controls and code. I added a label and a button. And coded the ActionPerformed event of the button to say hello! on the label. this is up to you. The code just looks as follows:
private void jButton1ActionPerformed(java.awt.event.ActionEvent evt) {
// Add your handling code here:
jLabel1.setText("Hello folks!");
6. Compile and execute the form.
Let's say this is our Desktop Application. Now We will pack it in a Jar in two steps...
A. Create a JAR file (Recipe)
1. Right-click on your package and select New > All Tempaltes (Long Route) You can also select New > JAR Recipe if available.
2. On the New Wizard Window, choose the JAR ARchives > JAR Recipe template and click on NEXT
3. I used MyDesktopApp as the file name and Defaults and then click on Next.
4. Specify the JAR Contents. Select the Package (not the mounted folder) from the mounted file system and click on add and then click on NEXT twice...
5. On the JAR Manifest window, click on GENERATE
6. Edit the manifest in the window to add the following code:
Main-Class: MyDesktopApp.MyDesktopAppFrm
7. Ensure the Main-Class definition is the same as your java package and JFRAME name. Click on FINISH
8. At this point we have a jar file in your project directory but this file wont run because it is missing some Netbeans clases that we will add in the next set of steps... Just to check, compile the file (right click on the JAR file and compile) and try to execute. It must compile but must not execute.(well if it executes you are done. It may execute if you did not set the lay out of the form as AbsoluteLayout)
B. Add the AbsoluteLayOut to the JAR
1. Right click on File Systems and select Mount > Archive Files
2. Look for your netbeans installation folder and select the following file:
.../netbeans/modules/ext/AbsoluteLayout.jar
3. Click on finish
4. Now the JAR File is mounted in the file systems.
5. Right-click on your MyDesktopApp.JAR file and select properties.
6. Look for the contents property click once on it and then on its elipsis button [...]
7. From the FileSystems box in the Contents window, select the AbsoluteLayOut file and click on Add
8. Then the system asks you if you are sure. Of course you are so click OK. (If not sure, just read the message text and click OK...:-))
9. Click on OK
10. Compile your JAR Recipe (right click on it and Compile)
11. Now you must be able to run the file by right clicking it and EXECUTE.
12. Also you must be able to run the file by double clicking the file from a Windows Explorer. You may receive a message asking to select the program to run the file with. You must browse and select the Javaw.exe file in the bin directory of your Java RUn Time installation. This is typically located at C:\j2sdk1.4.0_01\jre\bin or something like that. Use the File-Search feature of window to locate the JAVAW.exe file if needed.
I hope this long explanation helps somebody to deploy Java Desktop applications. Please reply the message if it helps you just to know it was useful.
Thanks for your time....

Help me out to get the jar files for FileUpload using MyFaces.

hi,
Can anyone help to get the jar files for FileUpload using MyFaces.
I want myfaces-extensions.jar and commons-fileupload-1.0.jar.
Thank you.

you can't control the speed of a for-loop.
you can remove your code from a for-loop and use a function to execute the code in your for-loop and you control how frequently you call the function.

Can I load a LDIF file and initalise the database using iPlanet SDK?

I know how to create a new context in the DS, initialise its database with a LDIF file from the console or using the LDAPModify.
But would it be possible if I can create the context & initialise the database using the iPlanet SDK for Java?
I'm developing a module that would allow an user to create a new organisation, thereby the need to create the database using the SDK. How can I go about to achieve this?
Many thanks!

I don't understand. If you know how to do everything using ldapmodify, it should be very straightforward to use java. What don't you understand?

Finding a file in the current executable jar file.

Hi all,
I am writing a little command line type application and I thought it would be neat to embed it's 'help file' into it's executable JAR file.
Please can someone show me how to code my application to extract a file from the JAR file from which the Main.class also came?
(Is that possible?)
I've been looking around, I can find out how to work with a different JAR file but NOT how to examine the currently 'executing' one.
Many thanks,
- jon.

Excellent! Thank you very much. It's easy when you know how. This works a treat!:
     private static void printHelp() {
          InputStream helpFile = Misql.class.getClassLoader().getResourceAsStream("doc/MISQLhelp.txt");
          if (helpFile == null) {
               _out.println("Help file: doc/MISQLhelp.txt not found.");
               return;
          try {
               int c;
               while ((c = helpFile.read()) != -1)
                    _out.write(c);
               helpFile.close();
          } catch (IOException e) {
               // TODO Auto-generated catch block
               e.printStackTrace();
          return;
     }

Cannot make executable jar file for swt application

hi to all!!! i have started learning swt library and it seems nice to me, but i have one problem, i cannot run my application. The problem is that i cannot make executable jar for it.
i'm using ecilpse_3.1.2 and have pluggined the visual editor for swt! yesterday i found one topic where was described the process of making the swt executable jar, i followed the instructions in the topic, but didn't resolve my problem, so if anybody knows how to achieve this , please help!!!!!!
the instructions in the mentioned topic are :
1. Make sure the SWT jar file is included in the Eclipse project build path
a. Download the standalone SWT jar file from eclipse.org even if you already have the ones that come with Eclipse. It is called ?swt.jar? and you will package it with the executable JAR. Make sure it is the same version of SWT that you used to make your program.
b. In Eclipse, import swt.jar via Project Properties::Java Build Path::Libraries::Add External JARs. (Make sure to include the source .zip file). Also make sure to select the swt package in the ?Order and Export? tab.
c. At this point, you should be able to compile and run your SWT application in the Eclipse SDK.
2. Do a standard Eclipse jar file export
a. Right click on the main .java project file and select ?Export??.
b. Choose ?JAR File? from the list.
c. Select the relevant packages and .classpath and .project resource files
d. Make sure ?Export generated class files and resources? is selected and browse to the location where you want the JAR file to be created.
e. Specify ?Generate the manifest file? and don?t seal the JAR or any packages. Choose the class containing the main method as the ?Main class?.
3. Change the manifest file
a. Navigate to the JAR file you created and open it with WinZip.
b. Open the MANIFEST.MF file inside and copy the contents.
c. Create a new file called ?MANIFEST.MF? and paste in the contents of the old manifest file.
d. Add the line ?Class-Path: <swt jar file path>?. For simplicity, you can just keep a copy of the swt.jar file in the same folder as the executable jar, in which case, the line is ?Class-Path: swt.jar?. Make sure there is a carriage return after the last line in the manifest file, or that line will not be parsed.
4. Replace the manifest file
a. Make sure the manifest file and the executable jar are in the same folder.
b. Open the command prompt and navigate to the containing folder.
c. Enter the command ?jar umf MANIFEST.MF <executable jar name>? to update the manifest file with the class path information.
5. Package the JAR with SWT files
a. Put the updated executable JAR file, swt.jar, and the associate DLL in the same folder. The DLL can be pulled out of swt.jar and should have a name like ?swt-win32-####.dll? on Windows.
b. The JAR file should now successfully execute. On Windows, you can usually just double click the JAR file in explorer and it will open. If that does not work, the command ?java ?jar <executable jar name>? on the command line has the same effect.
but a few steps aren't exact for me , for example : first, which jar i have to include in build path : downloaded or from plugins folder, second
i have to incude source.zip too??? but it is only in downloaded zip file which includes both swt.jar and src.zip, and finally can anyone clarify next :
"5. Package the JAR with SWT files

what does this mean, put these in folder or make jar from them????

In a suitable forum, though. An Eclipse forum or an SWT forum or something related to where you got those instructions would make a lot more sense than asking here.

Add classpath in an executable jar file

an executable jar file contains a manifest file with entry main-class: MyApplicationClass.
if we double click the jar file on Windows OS, main class is loaded.
my question is:
if classes in he jar file use classpaths which are not default, how to add those classpaths into manifest file to tell classes to use those classpaths?
it is similar to command line:
java -classpath c;\mypackage; .......; MyApplicationClass

Thanks, i will try soon.
here is another Q.
if i need to add tools.jar (JDK lib) as classpath in manifest file, it is as following in my PC
d:\install\java\jdk14101\lib\tools.jar.
but my customers install JDK in different path (should be considered as unknown), how to add it as entry Class-path for all customers?
