jar in a jar

Posted by Chin Loong on December 05, 2001 at 3:08 PM

i don't think u can run jar files. a bit lazy to try it out, so before anybody else gives u the *totally* correct answer, probably i can try a "hit-and-miss" solution :p. better than nobody answering u yet rite? heheh

what is your class file? i assume it's test.class since u put it in test.jar. is it in any package? if it's not, probably u can try something like this (assuming you're "cd"-ed to the directory where test.jar is in)

run this command : java -cp G:\Data\Java_Dev\Generic_Classes\bytron.jar;test.jar test
