Running .jar file under 1.5 & 1.6

I've created an application under netbeans 6.1 using jdk 1.6.0_06. The application runs on any PC that contains version 1.6, but will not execute for 1.5. I did not know at the time all other workstations contain jdk 1.5. An error for NoClassDefFoundError GroupLayout$Group appears running under 1.5. I realize building this app under 1.6 causes this error, as it uses some of the functionality of 1.6. Is there anyway to run this app under 1.5 without reinventing the wheel, since my Lan administrators will not approve the upgrade to 1.6 ? I've read the site http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jspa?forumID=31&threadID=5259325, about changing and adding the Java Platform to a different version, but unable to add JDK 1.5

NoClassDefFoundError GroupLayout$Group is because the lib isn't included in 1.5 (it was added to 1.6) and the FAQs at the NB site explain what to do.Um ... didn't I mention that myself in my first post? I still don't get what NetBeans has to do with it.

Adogjf Unable to generate jar files under JAVA_TOP error while patching

Hi,
I'm upgrading my version of Java from 1.3.1_19 to 1.5.0_17. I downloaded the jdk-1_5_0_17-linux-i586.bin file and unpackaged it to /u0/<SID>/<SID>db/10.2.0. It unpackaged it to a new directory jdk1.5.0_17 (/u0/<SID>/<SID>db/10.2.0/jdk1.5.0_17), whereas the old version is in a directory jdk (/u0/<SID>/<SID>db/10.2.0/jdk).
Having done that I had to run an interoperability patch (4372996). Upon running this patch I received an error at the end:
adogjf() Unable to generate jar files under JAVA_TOP
There were no other errors.
I think the problem has to do with where my new java version is located but I'm not sure. I'm thinking that it's still looking under the old JAVA_TOP (/u0/<SID>/<SID>db/10.2.0/jdk) when I want it to look under the new JAVA_TOP (/u0/<SID>/<SID>db/10.2.0/jdk1.5.0_17). So, should I move the contents from the new directory (jdk1.5.0_17) to the old directory (jdk) or is there a way to 'point' it to the new JAVA_TOP.
Please let me know if I'm totally off base and there's another solution. We're currently on EBS 11.5.10.2, DB 10.2.0.4 and RHEL 4 Update 5.
Thanks,
Lia.

Here you go. Hope this helps you to help me :-). Thanks.

JAR files under WEB-INF but not in lib directory

I am working with JDeveloper 10g and I have several jar files under WEB-INF/lib and other under WEB-INF/libEst.
I have add this libraries to Project properties > Paths and it works fine when I run my aplication in local environment, but it fails when I deploy and run in the server.
I have configured our deploy file to include these WEB-INF/libEst jar files, but when I deploy to our server, it seems to be that this classes included in these jar files are not reachable and they cannot be loaded and throw a ClassNotFoundException.
Is it possible to have jar files under any WEB-INF subdirectory distinct of /lib?
Why is it working in local but not in server?
If someone can help me to configure this in order to deploy in server, I will be very grateful.
Thanks a lot,
Antonio.

Hi Antonio,
I think this document is what you are looking for: http://www.oracle.com/technology/tech/java/oc4j/htdocs/how-to-servlet-warmanifest.html
.. your manifest entries would look like
Class-Path: WEB-INF/libExt/<jarName1>.jar, WEB-INF/libExt/<jarName2>.jar, ...
Let me know if this works for you.
thanks,

Error messege when run jar file

when i run jar file of my project give me that error(Fatel exception occured.program will exist)
what is the reason of that error

"can't get that path". Sounds like requisite classes aren't on the classpath.
Please paste the ENTIRE error message that it's producing into your next reply. You have probably forgotten to include necessary classes - perhaps a JDBC driver - in your JAR file.

How to run jar files on pocket pc

hi,
I have developed a .jar file on my desktop using jdk 1.4. Now i wnat to put that one on my pocket pc(compaq iPAQ)and make it run.What are the prerequisites i need and how can i get them.Please let me know in steps as i dont know any thing about pocket pc

Hi,
following steps are to be done:
1. First of all, you must download the PersonalJava Compatibility classes, that are to be used in your classpath when compiling your application. You can do that under the following url:
http://java.sun.com/products/personaljava/pj-cc.html
2. PersonalJava classes are based on JDK 1.1.x and therefore some classes in JDK 1.4 are not compatible for our purpose. Download the PersonalJava Emulation Environment to be able to test on your desktop before running on your Pocket PC. (Another tool of interest here is JavaCheck, which allows you to check if your code is PersonalJava compatible) You find links to downloads under:
http://wwws.sun.com/software/communitysource/personaljava/download.html
3. Now you are ready to install a JVM on your PocketPC. You will surely find one on your Compaq-CD (JeodeVM).
4. Write a .lnk file to be able to execute your app by only clicking once in a file on your Pocket PC. Example: your jar file is named demo.jar and is placed on your PDA under "My Documents". You main class within the JAR fie is called MyDemo. Now here is the content for the corresponding example.lnk:
18#"\Windows\evm.exe" -cp "\My Documents\demo.jar" MyDemo
Place the .lnk file whereever you want on your PDA (observe that we use absolute paths).
Hope that helps.
Have a nice day.

Unable to run jar file without lib folder containing swing-layout-1.0.jar

I have done my project through NetBeans 5.0. Eventhough I have copied my lib foloder containing swing-layout-1.0.jar inside my project.jar, I am still unable to run my project.jar in other systems, it is creating an error as Could not find the main class. Program will exit. But if I copy the lib foloder containing swing-layout-1.0.jar in the same path as the project.jar, then my project.jar is running.
But I want to give only the project.jar for other users and not also lib foloder containing swing-layout-1.0.jar each time.
Could someone please help me with this.

When you develop GUI applications using the Netbeans you may endup using netbeans specific jar files in your auto generated code.
And when you build jar files with netbeans it copy the third party jar files used in a application in to a lib folder in the same directory as the jar file of your project. And then set a class path entry to those jar files in your project jar file's manifest file.
So if you want to redistribute the package you have to redistribute your jar file and every thing in the lib folder in with the same directory structure.
If you want to change the structure you will have to change the class path to suit the new structure.

Getting error while running jar file

Hi,
I am getting below error while running the jar file

Please help..

How do you run the jar file? Take a look at this thread for a possible a solution: Re: deploying a jdeveloper adf application to a desktop

Running Jar Files created in Sun Java Studio

Hi everyone,
I am still trying to explore the functionalities (especially as regards deployment issues) of this robust IDE. However I do have a problem. I have developed a very basic program that connects to a database (MSSQL) using Java Studio 8. However after building the jar file, if I try to execute the jar file it gives me this message
java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: com.microsoft.jdbc.sqlserver.SQLServerDriver.....
But all goes well within the IDE and it runs well if I use my notepad or vi editor,compile it from the command line and execute the generated class file. The classpath have been set for all the necessary jdbc jar files.
Any Help Will Be Appreciated

1. Sun Java Studio Enterprise 8 is based on NetBeans 4.1 which does not provide direct support for packing an application. One alternative you may want to consider is to use NetBeans 5.0 (http://www.netbeans.info/downloads/download.php?type=5.0) or JSE 8.1 which is based on NB5.0 and which is now in beta (http://developers.sun.com/prodtech/javatools/jsenterprise/downloads/index.jsp).
You may want to refer to http://www.netbeans.org/kb/articles/javase-deploy.html for packing and deploying a standalone application is NB5.0 or JSE8.1.
2. Using JSE8, you may want to try copying all the library jars (including database drivers) used by your application to your projects dist directory manually and then package them all into one jar.
3. You should not have to know the exact location of the jdbc jar on the client machine. How are you instantiating the driver in your code? Are you using 'Class.forName()'? If so, java should be able to pick up the driver from the classpath. (Pl. ref to http://forum.sun.com/jive/thread.jspa?forumID=122&threadID=62696, which may be of help).

Error with running JAR files created with NetBeans

This is happening for multiple projects now, though I don't remember it happening before. What am I doing wrong? Why is this happening? How can I fix it? Thank you for any insights...

Oh, I forgot to mention, all the NetBeans samples work, just not apps that I create. This is very frustrating!

How to create a running jar-file

I created a "Java Class Library" project including 20 class files in several packages and some libraries.
Because I would like to start the project from the console, I added the main-class property (right-click project, Properties, Run). Then I cleaned and built the project and tried to start it with the following command:
java -jar PROJECTNAME.jarBut it won't work, because the archive is not complete: MANIFEST.MF lacks the main-class and all involved libraries.
I managed to add the main-class attribute manually, but adding all library references seems to be very error-prone.
So does anyone know if I did something wrong or if this is a bug of Creator?
Regards,
Felix

The main intent of this project type is to provide a libraray which normally wouldn't run with a "main". I suggest you use NetBeans to create a "Java Application" project. Here's what is in the README.txt file produced with the jar. This looks like what you're looking to do. So you can create the Jar in NetBeans then if you want to use it in Java Studio Creator, you can add it to the Creator project. Also, if you caught the news at JavaOne, we are providing Creator features for a pack that will run in NetBeans so you won't have to switch back and forth between the tools. Keep an eye on the NetBeans and Creator web sites for more info.
Thanks!

README.txt
========================
BUILD OUTPUT DESCRIPTION
========================
When you build an Java application project that has a main class, the IDE
automatically copies all of the JAR
files on the projects classpath to your projects dist/lib folder. The IDE
also adds each of the JAR files to the Class-Path element in the application
JAR files manifest file (MANIFEST.MF).
To run the project from the command line, go to the dist folder and
type the following:
java -jar "JavaApplication3.jar"
To distribute this project, zip up the dist folder (including the lib folder)
and distribute the ZIP file.
Notes:
* If two JAR files on the project classpath have the same name, only the first
JAR file is copied to the lib folder.
* If the classpath contains a folder of classes or resources, none of the
classpath elements are copied to the dist folder.
* If a library on the projects classpath also has a Class-Path element
specified in the manifest,the content of the Class-Path element has to be on
the projects runtime path.
* To set a main class in a standard Java project, right-click the project node
in the Projects window and choose Properties. Then click Run and enter the
class name in the Main Class field. Alternatively, you can manually type the
class name in the manifest Main-Class element.

Could not read Log4j configuration file when I run jar file

Hi,
I'm using Log4J in my application..
I configure the log4j, as follows;
PropertyConfigurator.configure("properties/logging.properties");and then go on to use it.
The .properties is in the root when I jar my source. I use Ant to Jar the file. It all works good when I run the jar file from ant.
The problem is when I run the jar file by double clicking on it, I get an error
" Could not read configuration file [properties/logging.properties]."
I tried the following options;
PropertyConfigurator.configure("/logging.properties");
PropertyConfigurator.configure("./logging.properties");
PropertyConfigurator.configure("../logging.properties");But in all cases, I get corresponding errors on running the jar file through Ant:
log4j:ERROR Could not read configuration file [logging.properties].
log4j:ERROR Could not read configuration file [./logging.properties].
log4j:ERROR Could not read configuration file [../logging.properties].
I want to be able to run the Jar by double clicking on it or through Ant.. Would any one know how to fix this issue so that I can use both methods..

Keep your properties file inside the root folder of your application.It is working fine
