Jarring an Application for a Double Click

Posted: Dec 29, 2004 2:22 AM

Hi Folks:

I am trying to create a large Java App. and
run it as an executable (i.e. be able to double-click
and have it running)... I found out that via Google
I can Jar it, but it doesn't say what goes from
there. Do I just simply zip it up and create a
short cut to my desktop?

Thanks in advance.

Kind regards,
Kondwani

Re: Jarring an Application for a Double Click (New Problem)

Hi Folks:

I figured it out via a tutorial session.

jar -cmf MyFile.jar ManifestFile inputFiles

Where Manifest file is a file that specifies the
Main class.

There is another problem I have, I get an error
that reads:

"Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError"

When I try to run the jar file.

I tried to change the path variable in my control Panel
(using WinXP) to include the Directory in which my
Main class resides, this has solved nothing.

Please fire up some advice...

Thanks in advance...

That's alright my baad... I had not added the main
class to the archive...
