Problems with Manifest building jar file

Hello all,
i try to deploy my application in a jar file. I also have some libs to deploy with my application. My app.jar and my lib.jar are in the same directory. My Manifest looks like:
Manifest-Version: 1.0
Main-Class: parser.Parser
Class-Path: lib.jar

  • Strange problem with my build JAR

    Hiii everybody... I'm having a strange problem with my build (JAR file)... when I work with the Eclipse and I click in the table that returns the clients stored in my PostGre database it works fine, but when I build my application and it generates my JAR file and I open it and click in the same table to return the objects that I have.. it does not appears anymore.. just show when I work with eclipse... and the database is the same for both.
    I already checked the database path in my properties file... and the application recognize the database because I can login and there isn't any runtime exception...
    In that application I work with Hibernate and Spring... for me it is very strange because the application works fine when I run by eclipse... but does not return the database data when I click on my Jar file to open the application..
    Someone can help me with that?
    I dont know if the problem is in the Spring, Hibernate, Libraries...
    thanks in advance...

    So what's the error then? Are there any error messages? Have you checked the console? Or are you just clicking on the jar and you wouldn't even see the errors if there are any?
    What do the logs say?
    You're not giving a lot to work on here.

  • Problems with jdbc and .jar files.

    I am having a problem with connecting to my database when running my .jar file as an executable.
    It connects correctly when I use the java command in command prompt and it also runs correctly when using my IDE.
    Is there something that needs to be added to the manifest or in the code it self inorder for the program to find the JDBC driver correctly?

    This is the error message that I get:

    I think that it is because it cannot find the driver. I am going to add the path to the manifest and see if that works thank you for all the help.

  • Problems with creation of JAR file

    Hi!
    I can't succeed in creating a JAR file for my application.
    I've followed the guide at http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/deployment/jar/basicsindex.html
    but apparently im doing something wrong....
    I've tried doing an extra Manifest file aswell as "Setting an Entry Point with the JAR Tool" as written in the guide. noen with success however :(
    I always get the error "Could not find the main class. Program will exit." from the JVM when I try to run my JAR file.
    Structure of my program:
    C:\searchpath\moresearchpath\projectname\src\
    inside src\ there are 3 packages called; "graphic", "client" and "server".
    I want to make a JAR file from the files in the "server" package. The "server" package consists of these following 4 files(and nothing more); "ClientHandler.java", "TestServer.java", "ServerModel.java", "ServerController.java".
    "TestServer.java" is my main class!
    This is an example of a command I've done in order to try to make a JAR file:
    "C:\searchPathToWhereJavaIsInstalled\jdk1.6.0\bin\jar cvfe sgwserver.jar server.TestServer server\*"
    This doesn't generate any error. However when I try to start the .jar I get following message "Could not find the main class. Program will exit."
    I've also tried creating manifest file manually but without success (with UTF-8 encoding and not double .txt ending on file)
    This is how the "Manifest.txt" file has looked when I've tried making one:
    Main-Class: server.TestServer
    I have used Netbeans 5.5 and Java SE 6 for development
    What am I doing wrong? Please help me :(

    If I try to run the one generated from Netbeans I get the following error message: "Failed to load Main-Class manifest attribute from C:\searchpath\moresearchPath\projectName\dist\projectName.jar"
    The thing is I need 2 JAR files, one that contains the files in the "server" package and one that has all other files. The other one is an applet and the files in "server" package are a standalone application.
    How do I get the standalone application's JAR file to work?

  • Problem with images in .jar file

    Hi all!
    I've got a severe problem when deploying an application via web start:
    the images withhin a deployed .jar file are not found.
    So far I've tried a number of things to get the images back, none of which are working.
    I've found different threads concerning this topic, e.g.:
    http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=396363
    http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=465795&messageID=2141351
    but sadly, they didn't help me out.
    Here is my code I'm using:
      private ImageIcon loadIconFromClassLoader(String tszRelPath)
        ImageIcon tIcon = null;
        cCat.info("tszRelPath = "+ tszRelPath);
        // this line simply leads to a crash of the whole application
        //tszRelPath = tszRelPath.replaceAll("\\", "/");
        if(!tszRelPath.startsWith("/"))
          tszRelPath = "/" + tszRelPath;
        cCat.info("modified tszRelPath = " + tszRelPath);
        URL tURL = ClassLoader.getSystemResource(tszRelPath);
        if(tURL == null)
          // this too crashes my application
          //tURL = PlainResourceProvider.class.getResource(tszRelPath);
        if(tURL != null)
          tIcon = new ImageIcon(tURL);
        return tIcon;
      }I've also tried
    PlainResourceProvider.class.getClassLoader().getResource()PlainResourceProvider is part of the .jar that involves the images.
    Of course all the .class files in the .jar file are easily accesible
    I would be so thankful, if just anyone could help me to solve this problem.
    I am going crazy.
    Thanks in advance, Christoph

    You should take care of the directory structure according to the package structure.
    I for example have this jar:

  • Problem with addition of jar file to DC

    Hi WDers,
    I have a DC of type WD.
    I'm trying to add com.sap.security.api.jar file to this component so that I can get IUser and work on it.
    I have added this security jar file as an External jar file to the DC. But whenever I try to DC->Build, the jar entry is going away. So the Build is failing.
    Can you kindly let me know why this is happening?
    Or is there any other way to add a jar file so that I can use the IUser interface in my view?
    Thanks in Advance
    RK

    Hello,
    Add the Standard DC "com.sap.security.api.sda" from the SAP-JEE. This ahould solve the problem.
    To do that follow the steps:
    1. Go to the "DC Metadata" option available under the DC.
    2. Go to "Used DCs" and choose "Add used DCs" from the context menu which appears on a right click at the Used Dcs option.
    3.Select "com.sap.security.api.sda" under SAP-JEE and choose finish.
    4. Build the DC to gain access to the IUser and other related classes.

  • Problem with using external jar file

    Hi
    I was using mail.jar library for swing application to send and receive emails. It just works perfect when I run with netbeans. But when I run the executable jar file at dist folder it runs but mail related functions doesn't work.What should I do now to make it work with mail features outside netbeans.
    thanks

    No. Because I am running the jar file which is created by netbeansNetbeans creates a 'dist' directory in which it puts your jar and a "dist/lib' directory in which it puts the dependent jars that are added to the project using 'project right mouse click'->Properties->Libraries. I would expect to see this 'dist/lib' directory contain mail.jar and activation.jar and any other jars that your jar needs. Within your program jar's manifest I would expect to see the Class-Path attribute have relative reference these jars ( lib/mail.jar lib/activation.jar ) and for the Main-Class attribute define your main class.
    Given this setup then you should be able to just type -
    java -jar yourjar.jarto run your program.

  • Problems with ClassLoader and Jar-Files

    1. I'm not good in englisch (writing).
    2. I have the problem, that i want to load a object from an application in Jar-File A out of the Jar-File B. I set the CLASSPATH for B with System.setProperty("java.class.path", <ClassPath>); . Then i tried to get the Class-object from a class of B. I do it with getClass().getForName("package.Name");.
    But everytime i get a ClassNotFoundException. Where is the Error? Or how can i load a class out of a Jar-File and get an instance? I hope you can help me..
    Tobain

    The error is that classes are loaded from the classpath as it existed when the program started. Changing the system property that was copied from the classpath has no effect, as you have seen. I have heard that you can write your own ClassLoader if you want to load classes from arbitrary locations, but I do not know how to do that myself.

  • Problems with exporting a .jar file

    Hi there,
    I'm working on a small java game and wanted to export in as a jar file.
    The program runs fine in the IDE and it generates the jar without any warnings.
    However, when i try to execute the jar, it simple "blinks" the basic frame and exit.
    A better description might be, that it looks like the Jframe opens, but then closes again quickly.
    I'm using Eclipse as IDE, and follow the Export wizzard.
    My project is devided like this:
    package : framework.
    package: sound.
    package: sprite.
    folder: sounds.
    folder: sprites.
    I'm guessing it somehow can't find the images, but as i said, it runs fine in the IDE.
    My MANIFEST looks like this:
    Manifest-Version: 1.0
    Sealed: true
    Main-Class: framework.EagleFlight
    Hope you can help.

    Hi,
    Thanks for your answer.
    I can export it from Netbeans, but not Eclipse.
    However, from Netbeans I get no sound, when executing the jar.
    Anyway, I'm happy enough with the exporting, now I just need to get sound, for which i have
    made another thread here.

    Hi,
    I am having trouble in making a package (jar) for nokia phones. I have been tring using J2ME wireless kit, Eclipse, Nokia development Suite and IBM Device developer but havent been able to make a perfect package out of it.
    I have even downloaded the plugins for Eclips but not able to configure it properly. I did every thing according to the specifications. but while building project i get the error "Problem while running the build script ....." .
    Overall i want create a jar package and obufuscate that for Nokia phones.Its real urgent. Wud want someone to guide me on all the necessary.
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi,
    yeah I can recommend - get Sun ONE Studio 5, Mobile Edition (http://wwws.sun.com/software/sundev/jde/studio_me/early_access.html). That's pretty much about it (obfuscation included, .JAR file creation in no-time).

  • I have a problem with runing a jar file

    after i compiled the hole project into a jar file when i want to run it i get this error:
    ========================================================
    C:\Documents and Settings\BlackShark>java -jar D:/eclipse/workspace/Bazooka/E
    xe/Bazooka-Server.jar
    Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: ro/blackshark/Bazo

    Looks like you're missing that class in the jar file. Open your jar file and check if the class is there and the path is correct.

  • Problem with creation of jar with external libraries

    hi guys, I've no problem with creation of jar,i use this command:

    my file manifest is this:
    Manifest-Version: 1.0

    But the jar file doesn't work, neither with a double click nor with console...
    Someone can help me?Thanks!:)

    sorry but,the external libraries that i use are in .jar,what i've to do to include these libraries in my jar?One of 3 things
    1) Take them out of the jar, and put them in a folder, preferably a folder in the same folder as the jar
    2) Write a custom classloader to load classes from nested jars
    3) Extract the contents of all the dependency jars, and jar them all up with your own code
    The first is almost always the most preferable, the second one is doable but brittle and resistent to updating dependencies ( you have to release everything for any changes you need, even if it's not a change in your own code ) and the third one is tedious and suffers from the same robustness problems of the second, not to mention that a lot of software licences prohibit you from actually doing it. Do the first one, it's by far the most common and easiest to maintain. I really wouldn't advise the third option, ever, though. Any activity that reduces the modularity of your application is ill-advised

  • How to display Manifest in Jar file?

  • Problem with Weblogic Builder SP1

    I have a problem with Weblogic Builder SP1. I basically re-used my EJB deployment
    descriptors from WL5.1 in WL8.1. Before SP1, i have no problem loading my EJB
    in WB. But with SP1, WB throws weblogic.marathon.model.LoadFailureException.
    I re-attempted by jarring my EJB with WL5.1 descriptors and used my friend's WB
    (not SP1) to export new descriptors which I used to re-jar. This new EJB is again
    not recognised by WB SP1?
