Have you seen this recent thread: http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=689987&tstart=0
There is a limit of 72 bytes (not chars!) per line in a manifest. YMMV, but you should be using Ant.

Class Loader for Jar Files

I have a set of Jar files which i need to load using Custom Class Loader. Any one who has Javacode for Custom Class Loader for loading Jar files send it. The Jar files are local jar files.

Here is the class loader I use:
import java.net.URL;
import java.net.URLClassLoader;
import java.net.JarURLConnection;
import java.lang.reflect.Method;
import java.lang.reflect.Modifier;
import java.lang.reflect.InvocationTargetException;

import java.io.IOException;
* A class loader for loading jar files, both local and remote.

     * Creates a new JarClassLoader for the specified url.
     * @param url the url of the jar file
    public JarClassLoader(URL url,ClassLoader cl) {
         super(new URL[] { url },cl);
      this.url = url;
    public JarClassLoader(URL[] urlList,ClassLoader cl) {
         super( urlList,cl);
      this.m_urlList = urlList;
     * Returns the name of the jar file main class, or null if
     * no "Main-Class" manifest attributes was defined.
    public String getMainClassName() throws IOException {

         return attr != null ? attr.getValue(Attributes.Name.MAIN_CLASS) : null;
     * Invokes the application in this jar file given the name of the

Maximum size for JAR files on Nokia 3120 Classic

I am trying to download and install a java app for a Nokia 3120 classic, but when installing I get an error message telling me that the file is too big at 5.7mb.
I can't find the maximum size of .jar files for this phone anywhere.
Can anyone let me know what this is and whether there is any way to get the app to work.
Many thanks.
Alan Watson

YES THERE IS A WAY!! I only got this information from someone else. Thanks for that person.
Here are the steps:
1. Download the jar file you want to install, to your computer. Now open My computer, and on the upper left corner you shall see a menu, click the "Tools" button and then click "Folder options..." A little window will appear. Click the "View" tab. On this window you need to find an option "Hide extentions for known file types" below "Advanced settings". Then unmark or uncheck the box.
2. Now when you open my computer and go to the folder where you had downloaded the java file, the file name will read "(anyfilename).jar". HERE IS THE TRICK.
3. Rename the last part of your file. Instead of .jar change it to .jpg so that it reads "(anyfilename).jpg"
4. Now copy the renamed file and paste it in your mobile's C: or Memory Card drive.
5. Once you had pasted, rename the copied file back to what it was. i.e "(anyfilename).jar"
BASICALLY the phone limits a file with a ".jar" extention, you can fool it by renaming the extention to ".jpg" and then once the file is copied into the phones C:drive you can change the extention back to ".jar" by renaming it.
Share it. Hope it works for you! God bless...

Icon for Jar File?

Is it possible to include an Icon in a Jar file
that will be displayed for the jar file instead
of a default Icon give to it by Windows 2000? If
so, how is it done?
Thanks

no it's not possible as the JAR file does not know anything about the operating system. this is windows dependend. if you want a custom icon for one jar file, create a shortcut to the jar and adjust the icon of this shortcut.

Classpath for jar files?

Hi all,
i am trying to run a standalone java program using JRC through command promt.
my problem is i am importing few classes from jar files into my java class. but its not getting imported.
how to resolve it?

Hi Saravana
You can use batch file to run your standalone java program.
The contents of the batch file would be as follows:
@echo off
if "%OS%" == "Windows_NT" setlocal
rem
rem Sets the CLASSPATH environment variable to include all JAR files
rem required for the JRC then compiles and jars Java file(s).
rem
rem Edit the environment variable BOBJ_JAVA_LIB to point to the
rem location where you have the JRC jar files.
rem
rem Make sure to define any other required libraries in the environment
rem variable CLASSPATH.
rem
rem Make sure you have defined the environment variable JAVA_HOME
rem
set BOBJ_JAVA_LIB=c:\Program Files\Business Objects\Common\3.5\java\lib
set CURRENT_DIR=%cd%
echo Using JAVA_HOME: %JAVA_HOME%
echo Using CURRENT_DIR: %CURRENT_DIR%
set RUNJAVA="%JAVAHOME%/bin/java"
set RUNJAVAC="%JAVAHOME%/bin/javac"
set RUNJAR="%JAVAHOME%/bin/jar"
set CLASSPATH=%BOBJ_JAVA_LIB%\ReportViewer.jar;%BOBJ_JAVA_LIB%\ReportPrinter.jar;%BOBJ_JAVA_LIB%\CrystalCommon.jar;%BOBJ_JAVA_LIB%\CrystalDatabaseConnectors.jar;%BOBJ_JAVA_LIB%\CrystalReportingCommon.jar;%BOBJ_JAVA_LIB%\CrystalFormulas.jar;%BOBJ_JAVA_LIB%\CrystalQueryEngine.jar;%BOBJ_JAVA_LIB%\CrystalReportEngine.jar;%BOBJ_JAVA_LIB%\keycodeDecoder.jar;%BOBJ_JAVA_LIB%\MetafileRenderer.jar;%BOBJ_JAVA_LIB%\rpoifs.jar;%BOBJ_JAVA_LIB%\jrcerom.jar;%BOBJ_JAVA_LIB%\jrcadapter.jar;%BOBJ_JAVA_LIB%\rascore.jar;%BOBJ_JAVA_LIB%\rasapp.jar;%BOBJ_JAVA_LIB%\Serialization.jar;%BOBJ_JAVA_LIB%\external\log4j.jar;%BOBJ_JAVA_LIB%\external\icu4j.jar;%BOBJ_JAVA_LIB%\external\Concurrent.jar;%BOBJ_JAVA_LIB%\external\xercesImpl.jar;%BOBJ_JAVA_LIB%\external\xml-apis.jar;%BOBJ_JAVA_LIB%\CrystalCharting.jar;%BOBJ_JAVA_LIB%\CrystalContentModels.jar;%BOBJ_JAVA_LIB%\CrystalExporters.jar;%BOBJ_JAVA_LIB%\CrystalExportingBase.jar;%CURRENT_DIR%;%CLASSPATH%
%_RUNJAVAC% -classpath "%CLASSPATH%" *.java
%_RUNJAVA% -classpath "%CLASSPATH%" HelloWorldSwing
// HelloWorldSwing is the name of your .java file
Make sure you have all the jar files in the lib directory.
Hope this helps you.

Need some information for jar files upload in Oracle

Hi,
I am developing some java stored procedures which requires uploading about 10-15 jar files or may be more, to the oracle database. One way is to use loadjava and oracle stores classes in those jar files as separate java classes. Is there a way that I can put these jar files somewhere in the file systems, configure some oracle parameter, restart the database and still I am able to use them from my java stored procedures. This will be some kind of a dropin folder for jars. Any information on this will be helpfule.
Thanks

The forum on the JVM in Oracle at Java in the Oracle Database might be a better one to answer your question.

Create a custom dock/application icon for .jar files built in eclipse

I've spent the better part of the afternoon trying to figure out how to apply a custom icon to jar file that I created in eclipse. I am presently using eclipse v3.5 on Mac OS X 10.6.2 and have yet to find a way to change the java coffee cup logo in the document icon for my jar files created in eclipse. Is there some way I can call a specific Apple class in Eclipse to change the dock/application icon of my .jar file?
I found this link that uses a class that seems to be specific to XCode to change the icon of the .jar file.
What I mean by change the icon of the jar file, I mean change the icon used in the dock, and also the icon used when the "command+tab" switcher pops up. Presently, I have the black console icon with the text "exec" in the upperleft.
If anyone has any good links on this topic or even better knows the code I need insert into my program I would be highly greatful.
cheers

Jdeveloper dependency on ANT script for .JAR file for ADF Application

Hi all,
We need to create a .jar file for an ADF project consist of Model & viewcontroller. We are able to create jar file with help OjDeploy in my ANT script.
My query: Ojdeploy uses internally jdeveloper home to complete the task. After going through the generated script, we came to know about below two references:
1. oracle.jdeveloper.ant.library = ${jdeveloperHome}\\ jdeveloper\\jdev\\/lib/ant-jdeveloper.jar
2. oracle.jdeveloper.ojdeploy.path = ${jdeveloperHome}\\jdeveloper\\jdev\\bin\\ojdeploy.exe
Is there any way to remove above dependencies so that we can create .jar file without installing Jdeveloper on a machine ?
regards,
Mohit

ojdeploy requires a JDeveloper installation.
Without going into the debate as to whether this is "good" or not, that's the way it works, I personally don't have a problem with installing JDeveloper on a build box (after all, you do have to install other software on the build box, too).
If you don't want to install JDeveloper, you can hand-roll your own ANT scripts which is good for racking up the billable hours, but not so good at maintainability.

As the "java.*" package suggests those are not part of any library, but of the core Java platform itself.
They have been introduced in Java 5 (a.k.a. 1.5.0) so you'll have to update (correction BigDecimal existed before, but the other two were new in Java 5).
Note that 1.4.2 has finished its EOL transition period in October 2008, so it's been unsupported for over a year, you should upgrade to a newer release (preferably Java 6) anyway.
