NetBeans and Manifest

I'm trying to set up the manifest in NetBeans to make a jar file executable. I went to the properties page for the JAR and under the manifest option added this
Main-Class: DBConnect/DBConnectFrame
Which is the location of my main class obviously. So I go to compile it and get this message.
duplicate entry: META-INF/MANIFEST.MF
This prevents the contents of the archive from being updated
I have not set anything else, but I have included the contents of the connectorJ jar for JDBC to MySql. Could that be screwing things up?

Disregard. The connectorJ jar had its own manifest, causing the error.

NetBeans and Morena/Twain

I am using NetBeans to develop a Windows graphics program. I am incorporatiing Morena/Twain code into it so that the program can scan images. I have included the Morena and ImageJ library JAR files in the program, and within the IDE, the program runs fine. But when I use the executableJAR file generated by NetBeans to run the program, the scanning capability doesn't work. I 've put the Morena/ImageJ library JAR files in the ClassPath I think by using Windows' System/Advanced commands. But I'm not sure that does it. What am I missing. Just putting these imaging files in the directory in which the NetBeans generated executable resides doesn't help either. I'd sincerely appreciate some help with this.

Hi All,
I'm obviously still not doing something correctly. I've added the Morena Jar files to the Manifest file and rebuilt the program. It seemed to work once. Then the same behavior appeared. The program initiates and everything but its scanning capability works fine. I"ve looked at the NetBean's generated Jar file. There is no reference to Morena/Twain in it. However, there is a folder called Morena Classes in the output directory of the generated program. I've also tried the other two methods described in the links you so kindly provided. Those don't resolve the problem either. I've tried putting the Morena files in the same folder as the generated Jar file. I've put the Morena class files in the build directory generated by NetBeans and rebuilt. And finally, I've tried incorporating the Morena Jars with the NetBeans program JAR into a new JAR file. Trying to run the last kicks a "Can't find a Main" message. The program still runs just fine within the NetBeans environment. Can you suggest a really good book that might cover this.

Communication problem between NetBeans and Tomcat

hi!
i got a quite mysterious problem. here is what happens:
- i start NetBeans 5.5.1 (the first time)
- i want to debug my JSF-Project, the Debugger starts
- After a few seconds the debugger waits for tomcat (it sais: "Waiting for Tomcat...") and tomcat starts
- Again after a few seconds the tomcat-debugger-output sais "Tomcat startet in 3333 ms".
okay.
when i enter http://localhost:8084/ in my browser i get the tomcat homepage, so the server has definitely started! But nothing happens in NetBeans and nothing happens with my project....
In the lower-right corner i see this blue working-bar that sais "deploying project" but nothing happens. The Project-Debugger-Output still sais "Waiting for Tomcat..." but nothing happens...
And after something around 3 minutes (i guess it's a timeout) i get the error "Starting of Tomcat failed." But is HAS started, i can login to the Administration-Area in my browser!
so i guess there is a communication problem between netbeans an tomcat. Netbeans waits for a message from tomcat but tomcat doesn't send it..or netbeans doesn't understand it.
But the story goes on:
When i press the debug-button a second time it takes only a few seconds till i get the message: "Tomcat server port 8084 already in use". OF COURSE! Because Tomcat has already startet and can't be stoped by NetBeans.
i'm trying to solve this problem for 4 days now, so i would be very happy if anyone has an idea where to start/continue the search...
thanks,
flo.

Classpath and manifest.mf

what is the difference between classpath, buildpath and a Manifest.mf paths?
I believe class path is used at run time to look for the classes referred in this path.
Build path is used to build the application i.e. to link the components used while compiling and building classes.
Manifest.MF is also used for runtime resolution.
What different purpose did classpath and manifest.mf serve?

If I understand you correctly, this is more of a general Java Question then a Java Servlet Question... but anyway...
The manifest.mf is defined for JARs. Your system CLASSPATH, and the classpath set on the command line are ignored for JARs, and only the CLASSPATH set in the manifest is used.
When running applications outside of JARs, then the system/command line CLASSPATH is used.
When running a web application inside a WAR, the server has its own classpath which will override that of the manifest and the system CLASSPATH.

NetBeans and JSP pages

I'm using the netBeans IDE to develope my project and the project is web application. But I've a problems with this IDE.
Q1. The default page is index.html and the default home for the project is say $HOME, when I write http://localhost:8084/$HOME/index.html the browser displace error message. I've to run this file from the netBeans. Do I need to run netBeans and run the file from the IDE to access the index.html file?
Q2. The second problem is; once I run the index file from the netBeans and then use this address http://localhost:8084/$HOME i.e if I remove the index.html file form the URL the Browser displays all the files that I've in my project but I don't won't this to happend. Is there any means to avoid this problem?
Thank you indavance.

I'm using the netBeans IDE to develope my project and
the project is web application. But I've a problems
with this IDE.If you are new to application development, then I recommend not using any IDE - it is better to configure everything manually http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-6.0-doc/appdev/index.html to understand what's going on under the hood.
Once you understand what's going on, then it will be much easier to configure your IDE.

Creating & Using .jar files and manifests

I've read through hundreds of online tutorials on creating and using .jar's, but it's surprising how unhelpful they really are.
I've been trying to make a java program of mine standalone, so I can distribute it to others and allow them to run it without use of a compiler, etc (ideally just a .exe or .bat that they double click on). Everything I've found says I need to create a .jar of my program in order to do this. I was finally able to create a .jar but I got different errors relating to "main-class" and "manifest" issues...I tried running it with javaw.exe and had the same problem.
Some tutorials briefly discuss "meta manifest's", other's skip the concept all together in creating .jar's. I created a jar with:
jar cf A2.jar c:\jarTester.java
after changing my command prompt path to
C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_01\bin
It created the .jar, but nothing worked. As above, it gave me errors relating to the "Main-Class" and "Manifest". So here's my question:
What involvement does a "manifest" play in .jar's, and how do I create/use one to create a .jar? Why is it necessary to specify the "Main-Class" when I have already done so in my .java file?
I believe that once I can get this "Main-Class" and "Manifest" problem straightened out, I will be able to create a batch file with the line:
java -jar A2.jar
is this correct? THANKS.

Getting error when updating the JavaScript API for Office and manifest schema files in your Visual Studio project from version 1.0 to 1.1

Hi,
I`m getting error message like "None of the apps in your project can be activated in the target. The manifest file of one or more apps contain API sets or Office applications that are not supported by
the target Office client. To debug those apps, update manifest files to exclude any unsupported API sets or Office applications, and then start the project again. Alternatively, you can debug your apps by using Office 365 as a target." when when
updating the JavaScript API for Office and manifest schema files in your Visual Studio project from version 1.0 to 1.1 in manifest file though i have added host elements.
any help in this regard is highly appreciated
Thanks,

Hi Satosh Sutar,
Based on the description, you got the error message when you update the apps from version 1.0 to 1.1.
From the error message, it seems the menifest include some settings no allowed in the new version. Would you mind sharing more detail about how you update the project?
And here is an article about updating apps for Office and menifest schema files in the project for your reference:

Small Parcel Shipping and Manifesting Systems

What small parcel shipping and manifesting system are you using? Is it integrated with SAP? What are the pros and cons? We are researching systems and would appreciate any input. We are familiar with XPS and Shiptec, but are there others that you would recommend? Thanks!

Have you concidered XSI Express Shipping Interface from SAP. This connects to UPS/FEDEX directly.

Netbeans and JavaFX

I am new to Netbeans and am only using it for the JavaFX integration (IntelliJ user) so I am not sure if I am dealing with my ignorance of Netbeans or some JavaFX idiosyncrasy.
However, when I try to organize my JavaFX code into package structure (rather than using a single default package) and go to run it I get NoClassDef exceptions on my main class. It looks like netbeans automatically packages up the files into a jar and runs it from a jar. I took a peek inside the generated jar and Netbeans is not maintaining the package structure inside the jar it is just putting all the classes at the root of the jar (hence the NoClassDefs).
How can I get Netbeans to maintain the package structure inside the jar?
Does JavaFX use the "package" keyword the same way as Java does?

Yep, after I was able to get my classes in a package structure (rather than default package) I discovered that.
I couldn't at first get my classes out of the default package. I am spoiled by IntelliJ which changes/adds package statements when you move classes. Netbeans did not automatically add the package statement when I moved from the default package to a package structure. Nor did it warn me that the classes were missing a package statement and/or the package statement didn't match its package location.

NetBeans and Heap Size

I'm trying to write a program using NetBeans and I keep getting OutOfMemoryErrors. I have 2GB of RAM and I've attempted to modify the netbeans.conf file to increase the heap size at startup. The changes I've made aren't being reflected in the memory manager tool (it still indicates a maximum size of ~50MB). The pertinent code from the config file is as follows:
netbeans_default_options="-J-Xms512m -J-Xmx1024m -J-XX:PermSize=128m -J-XX:MaxPermSize=512m -J-Xverify:none -J-Dapple.laf.useScreenMenuBar=true -J-XX:NewSize256m"
Assuming my memory usage won't exceed these limits, any suggestions as to how to make sure the changes are being implemented?

I would subscribe to the netbeans user mail list, and pose your question to that list. The Sun Netbeans gurus live there.
I would also use a seperate email account to subscribe to the list as it generates alot of messages daily. If thats not an option, definatly try to set up a rule that seperates messages from the list from your regular email.
The main netbeans top level mail list web page is here with all the instructions to subscribe and unsubscribe.
Good luck,

J2EE Packaging and manifest Class-Path:

Does anyone know if Weblogic 6.0 supports the redefined deployment extension mechanism
that makes use of the 'Class-Path:' entry in the manifest files?
In our project we have one single .ear file containing a couple of EJB's (.jar
files) and a Web Application (.war file).
We are using log4j as logging mechanism and we would like to keep everything in
the .ear file so that we can make hot-deploys. So we are trying not to make use
of the classpath in startWebLogic.sh. All of our EJB's and the Web Application
makes use of log4j.jar. My question is; can I do the following and make it work
in Weblogic 6.0?
1. In every EJB .jar file I add the follwing to the manifest file - "Class-Path:
log4j.jar"
2. I place the log4j.jar in the root directory of the .ear file.
By doing this I expect that the ear classloader loads the log4j.jar classes. Am
I right or do I do something wrong. At least it does not seem to work.

This does not work in WebLogic 6.0. It's supposed to be supported in 6.1

Netbeans and DataProvider

Hello,
I have put an own DataProvider in an SessionBean and at first it worked when i bound it to a Table. I restarted my Netbeans and now this connection is lost.... I cannot attach my DataProvider to the Table. It is not in the drop down list from the Table Layout Bind to Data.
Please help.

Solution:
You have to Close the Project and reopen it. Than the DataProvider is available.

NetBeans and other software not available in the main solaris repository.

In the main(default) Solaris 11 Express repository we cannot find NetBeans and other software we could find in OpenSolaris in the extras repository,for example.Reading Solaris 11 Express release notes I find the main solaris repository and the support(for security and bug updates) repository,no other.Do we need to download directly in the NetBeans website,OpenOffice website etc.etc.,or are there any other repositories I did not see.

I just wrote an blog entry based on this question - http://blogs.sun.com/observatory/entry/left_behind. Bottom line, you can either download the software directly or add the opensolaris.org repository and get the IPS version.
