completeJava: Re: [completeJava] Re: How to make java Executable?

Hi Naveen,

Thanks,

Jahangir

Hi Jahangir,

See attached Manifest and JAR file, double-click on attached jar file it opens a Swing window....what santosh told is correct....observe attached files clearly to get right picture.

Hint: Use Eclipse (or some IDE) for creating the JAR file by supplying 'main class' file name in it. Then it directly creates Executable JAR.

I hope all your worries are gone :)

In the Manifest file after the main-class entry there should be a new line character. check that out. If there is no new line character it will fail.

Hi,
I have uploaded one utility called "JarBuilder".
Now you can easily create Executable Jar files.
You download that tool from completeJavagroup/files/java section.
and unzip that archive and double-click jarbuilderXXX.jar.
Then you select needed class files the you say create jar, it'll
search and list classes having main method.you select the main class
from that list and give the location and name of the jar file to be
created.
it is now very easy....
