Eventually I copied all the netbeans files into the sun java directory. I have a feeling that is not the standard way of going about this. How can I prevent a compatibility problem? I like to send people JAR files to execute, and don't want them to have to have netbeans installed and certainly don't want them to have to copy files from netbeans to java class path. What is the proper way to go about this? -- LTP :) Back to top Andrew Thompson Guest Posted: Thu Oct 26, 2006 7:11 am    Post subject: Re: Netbeans JAR file execution from command line Luc The Perverse wrote: Quote: I needed to run a program I created called RandomPasswordGen and it wouldn't run because it said it couldn't find some necessary classes, which I tracked down to some swing layout jar file in netbeans.

What is the proper way to go about this? 'proper'? Dunno'.. here are several possible strategies.. - Rework your GUI's to not require the NB classes (which are usually form generators? ..layouts?). - Launch your GUI's using web start and refer to the NB classes in a separate 'component' JNLP *. - Put a manifest in the main jar that references the NB jars* (and distribute them with your application, and put them somewhere they can be found) - Rejar the NB classes* in your main jar file. * check NB docs. for (re)distrib. rights. I would go for the first option. Andrew T.

I like to send people JAR files to execute, and don't want them to have to have netbeans installed and certainly don't want them to have to copy files from netbeans to java class path. Which NB version? Normally NetBeans will put the compiled jar and all libraries it might need in the 'dist' subdirectory of your projects home. Extra libraries are stored in the dist/lib subdirectory. Also refer to the 'README.TXT' file which explains as much. The manifest file in the jar defines a classpath which includes optional jar files in the lib subdirectory. If those files aren't there then I wonder if your project has been properly setup. -- Groetjes, Peter ..\\ PGP/GPG key: http://www.catslair.org/pubkey.asc Back to top Luc The Perverse Guest Posted: Fri Oct 27, 2006 12:39 am    Post subject: Re: Netbeans JAR file execution from command line "Lion-O" <nosp (AT) m (DOT) catslair.org> wrote in message news:slrnek1udu.5cb.nosp (AT) ubuntu (DOT) intranet.lan...

In that case I likely just grabbed the wrong JAR file (and because it worked on my system, I was thrown off) -- LTP :) Back to top Display posts from previous: All Posts1 Day7 Days2 Weeks1 Month3 Months6 Months1 Year Oldest FirstNewest First         AppletTalk.com Forum Index -> Java Help All times are GMT Page 1 of 1   Jump to: Select a forum Java Newsgroups----------------Java DiscussionsWeb-based java games comp.lang.java 3D Graphics API's for Java Java: Support and criticism Java System Announcements comp.lang.java.api JavaBeans Java and CORBA Java and Databases comp.lang.java.developer Java GUI Toolkits Java Help comp.lang.java.javascript JVM, native methods and hardware comp.lang.java.misc Java Language Programming Security and Java comp.lang.java.setup Java Software Tools comp.lang.java.tech ibm.software.java.linux  Non-English Java Newsgroups----------------Java Language (German)Language Java (Français)Java (Italian)  You cannot post new topics in this forum You cannot reply to topics in this forum You cannot edit your posts in this forum You cannot delete your posts in this forum You cannot vote in polls in this forum Powered by phpBB © 2001, 2006 phpBB Group SEO toolkit © 2004-2006 webmedic.
