Program not executing in jar file. Help please.

I went through the tutorial about jars on the sun website and i created a jar file with a hello world program like this:
"cd E:\Batch
jar cfm test.jar m.txt test.class
PAUSE"
My m.txt contains this text:
"Main-Class: test.class"
The jar file is created. No errors.
Then i try and run the jar with this:
"cd E:\Batch
java -jar test.jar
PAUSE"
I get "NoClassDefFoundError: test/class"
All the dos command are run form batch files and everything is in the same directory.
I've searched around google and this website for answers but i have failed to find anything.
Does anyone have any suggestions i can try to fix this? I've ran out of ideas.

Ah thats what the problem was. That was driving me
mad thanks. So whatever you put in a jar file must be
in a package or you can't run it.

JahvahNo. You can also not put it in a package, but when you specify the main-class attribute in the manifest file, be sure that you don't tell it that it is in a package.

Beginner: Can't convert a hello.class file into a jar file: HELP PLEASE!!!

Hi, I created a hello.java file, converted into a hello.class file by using the java 2SDk compiler. The problem is that the hello.class file is in a directory I created: C:\JavaBuilder\hello.class
I have a problem converting the hello class file into a jar file. I don't know which approach to take. I've looked at tutorials...but I keep getting more confused each time I view the tutorials on creating jar files. Please can someone help..by taking me through a step by step process. Please be explicit and do not leave or assume that I know any details because I'm a new born beginner. Thank you very much, I seriously appreciate it.

Hi i did as you suggested, only with these exceptions:
jar -cvf hello.jar C:\JavaBuilder\hello.class
I did this and got the message: "adding : C:\JavaBuilder\hello.class (in=1150) (out=708) (deflated=38%)"
The problem is that when I tried to execute the jar file...by typing: " java -jar hello.jar" I received the error message: "Failed to load Main-Class Manifest attribute from hello.jar" Is there any way to correct this problem? please help, thank you.

Trouble Batch watermarking - watermark is not visible on exported files - help please

Hi, I am new to lightroom. I tried to batch watermark photos during export & once it is complete I click on an image & no watermark is there. What am I doing wrong?

It is a text watermark, but I also tried just the simple copyright mark in case I had done something wrong in the watermark editing & it didn't show up either.

Please I can not get a .jar file to run on XP SP3 start/run/cmd/

I can not get a .jar file to run on XP SP3 start/run/cmd/
Please help if can figure this out. I'm convinced it is a Windows XP SP3 problem from searching on google and seeing other ppl on XP SP3 with same problem (but no working solution for myself). I'll try to be complete-listing all I've done.
I had installed: Java SE Runtime Environment v6u14 for Windows Multi-language
I had checked here it was working properly: http://www.java.com/en/download/manual.jsp
I'm trying to run this jar file (soht-client-0.6.2.jar):
http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/telnetoverhttp/soht-java-client-0.6.2.zip?download
http://www.ericdaugherty.com/dev/soht/javaclient.html < this is the information for the program.
(yes the file can be executed and should open the program's window
I wanted to post screenshot of it but friend that it's working for isn't here)
_(Please find log of all cmds I did in this post here: http://pastebin.com/f792983df )_
_I have extracted +'all' the files to: C:\062\+_ (I have tried using other directories, same problem)
++I then start/open/run/cmd+
then I: cd C:\062\+
then I try various commands - all+ of these do absolutely nothing- meaning no errors, no reply, no window opens, nothing except enters that directoy again:

java -client -jar soht-client-0.6.2.jar
java -jar soht-client-0.6.2.jar soht.properties

SOHT Java Client
The SOHT Java Client requires a properties file. Either start
the application in the same directory as the soht.properties
file, or specify the file name on the command line:
java -jar soht-cleint-<version>.jar c:\soht.properties
So then I do these cmds which produce the exact same error/reply just above; Unable to load..:
j_ava -jar soht-client-0.6.2.jar -client soht.properties_
java -jar soht-client-0.6.2.jar -client C:\062\soht.properties
So then I copy soht.properties to C root and do:
java -jar soht-client-0.6.2.jar -client C:\soht.properties <same error as above
Then from other information I have read I right click on the .jar file, select open with Always open with:
_"C:\Program Files\Java\jre6\bin\javaw.exe"_
Try again.. same problem.
Then I do cmd:
_"C:\Program Files\Java\jre6\bin\javaw.exe" -jar "C:\062\soht-client-0.6.2.jar"_
does nothing, retry the other commands same thing (either nothing or those same replies)
Then I read (http://forums.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=5384879) someone had the same problem as I and they solved it by uninstalling all Java/reboot/ then install JDK 6 Update 14 with NetBeans 6.5.1 start NetBeans and then it worked for them.
So I unistalled all Java, rebooted and gave the cmd another try (before re-installing), now a new error, of course:
C:\062>java -jar soht-client-0.6.2.jar
'java' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.
Then I install Java SE and NetBeans Cobundle (JDK 6u14 and NB 6.5.1) Final Release/ reboot/ open Netbeans/
go to test java page; all is good, run cmds again -and still nothing..
C:\062>java -version
java version "1.6.0_14"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_14-b08)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 14.0-b16, mixed mode, sharing)
I reassociate program with: C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.6.007\bin\javaw.exe_
same thing.. nothing
Thank you very much for your time :D_
PS. My computer has been newly reformatted so needing another reformat I'm sure is not the solution.

Thank you very much for your replies Taggert_77 & swmtgoet_x :D
Taggert77_: I have never used NetBeans. I only installed it in the bundle as I had read on another post that somehow installing the bundle magically helped another user with the same problem (he didn't know why it worked after that either).
Before XP SP3 I was able to execute .jar file through cmd prompt. Now I am not.
This file is executable, grab it and you will see. Here is a screen shot (program in front is FlashFXP, behind is the cmd prompt and what should happen):http://www.freeimagehosting.net/uploads/53273b4ddf.jpg
swmtgoetx_: I only did the other cmd's to try to make it spit out something, anything lol :D
The proper cmd is simply: java -jar soht-client-0.6.2.jar
I did give your cmd a try, and it produced nothing :( (just like the other correct cmds)
java -client -jar soht-client-0.6.2.jar soht.properties
Thank you again...the mystery remains
PS. If you do a search for this you'll find an amazing amount of XP SP3 users with the same problem and no solution posted that I could find except one chap that did the unistall install order that I did above).

Hi!
first of all, you should use an upper-case character for the first letter of your classes...
To answer your question :
1) you must create a directory named "meta-inf" in your directory "C:\JavaBuilder"
2) then,you must create a file named "manifest.mf" in this directory
it's like a property file and it must contain this :
Main-Class: hello
(don't forget to type <enter> after "hello")
3) in the directory "C:\JavaBuilder", you can enter the following command :
"jar cvfM hello.jar meta-inf\manifest.mf hello.class"
(check jar.exe is in your path)
4) you can run your jar by the command :
"java -jar hello.jar"

This info is not helping. I am using VC500MAC digital video conversion system to record old VHS tapes to computer. The file is .mov, but quicktime is not playing it back. Help, please.

Sorry for this question. Can you use this device with Vlc or QuickTime? Does skype support it? Is this device supported only by its own software?
I need a device that can work with my own software. My software can work only with a QuickTime supported device.
Thanks if you will reply to me.

How can i set the dos can compile and excute the jar file?please help?

How can i set the dos prompt can compile my .java file and execute my jar file.

Go to where you downloaded your Java SDK. Look around for a button labled "Installation." Click the button. Download the installation instructions. Read them. Then read them again.

Exception is thrown only while executing the jar file

java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: javax/mail/Address Exception is thrown only while executing the jar file. But the program compiles and executes good when executed for command prompt through the class files.
I used javamail API in my program. Classpath and every others are set to the right one's. Executed fine when used java Random.class. But the problem is only with the jar file.
Please help me out in this regard. Why the exception is thrown only in jar but not at class level.

Assuming you're running your program using "java -jar", your jar file needs a Class-Path entry
in the manifest file that references mail.jar.

Crystal Report not works in JAR File

I'm using Eclipse All in one, which includes Crystal Reports.. I Connected my Java program with Crystal Reports and its working properly. Now my problem is that the Report is not working in JAR files.. It throws some exception as
"com.crystaldecisions.sdk.occa.report.lib.ReportSDKException: com.businessobjects
com.businessobjects.reports.sdk.JRCCommunicationAdapter---- Error code:-2147215357 Error code name:internal"
Whats the Error.. I don't know. I think that i may missed some CLASSPATH Files. The included CLASSPATH Files are:
ReportViewer.jar
jrcerom.jar
Concurrent.jar
CrystalCharting.jar
CrystalCommon.jar
CrystalContentModels.jar
CrystalExporters.jar
CrystalExportingBase.jar

and the mysql-connector jar file
Anybody help me please...

Unable to load database connector
'com.crystaldecisions.reports.queryengine..driverImpl.
DriverLoader
now you have any idea.. pleaseIs that a typo where you have two periods below?
queryengine..driverImplOther than that I don't think anybody here can help you with that. If your classpath includes all necessary JAR files and you are able to access all your resources from within your application JAR file, then I imagine there is a problem with the third-party crystal decisions JAR file or how you are attempting to use it.
My advice to you is to try and contact support with the vendor or provider of this API or possibly try posting on a support forum on their website to see if somebody can help you there.

JInternalFrame not opening in JAR file, but works when not in JAR

I have a folder that contains multiple .class files. I make all the class files into one jar file with this command:
jar cmf mainClass.txt myapplication.jar *.class
The mainClass.txt contains the following:
Main-Class: myapplication
class-path: myapplication.jar
The myapplication.class opens up a JDesktopPane inside a JFrame. It also contains a start menu, which again has elements that opens up misc JInternalFrames inside the JDesktopPane. The problem is this:
When I run the application from a .bat file, everything works fine. However, after making the JAR Executable file, everything works except 1 JInternalFrame. Now, the code for this JInternalFrame is far too much to post, so I'll have to ask as follows;
Are there any reason why a JInternalFrame would not work from inside a JAR Executable, but work when not in the JAR file? Especially when other JInternalFrames are working? What can make 1 JInternalFrame different from the others in this regard?

Perhaps the problem lies somewhere else.
Obviously if other JInternalFrames are working then there is a difference in the one missing internal frame that causes it not to show up.
My guess is that perhaps you are missing one or two classes in your JAR that are used by that JInternalFrame and that an exception is being thrown causing it not to show.
Double check the contents of your JAR and make sure that all the classes are present and that they are the right versions.

Anki

Hi,
You can make an executable jar file such that when you double click on that it starts running. Just follow the steps.
1. Open a notepad and write the following
Main-Class: XXXXXXXX
XXXXXXX means Your Main Class name. Don't forget to press Enter after you write your class name.
2. Save the file as Mani.mf
3. In the commant prompt ( your directory ) type following lines.
jar cmf Mani.mf Demo.jar *.*
4. This will make a jar file which is executable jar file
Hope this will help you.

How to execute a jar file in other machine?

Regards,

Hi Mohan.tkm,
If you want it to be done in pure Java and independently of the OS of both computers, you may build a RMI server that will launch your JAR by request of a remote RMI client.
There's an example of RMI here .
