I've made a Java application which runs fine inside
of eclipse
problem is, when I export it as a jar file and then attempt to run that jar file via windows cmd(current directory is the same as that of where I exported) with java "2Dwars 2.0.jar"
it says Error: Could not find or load main class 2Dwars 2.0.jar
I've searched google, and stackoverflow extensively, a lot of people are having similar problems, but none a similar solution.
my main class is as follows:
public class MainClass extends JFrame implements Controll.keyPressEvent
{
static Render render;
public init in;
public MainClass()
{
new Options();
setUndecorated(true);
Options.setBoolean("Draw chunks", false);
System.out.println("Test");
add(new Render(new Controll()));
setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
setSize(895, 675);
setLocationRelativeTo(null);
setTitle("2D wars");
setResizable(false);
setVisible(true);
System.out.println("Adding render");
System.out.println("Loaded Options.");
System.out.println("added render");
init in=new init();
Controll.addListener(Controll.Key.ESC, this);
new Sounds();
}
public static void main(String[] args)
{
new MainClass();
}
@Override
public void sendKeyPressEvent(KeyEvent e)
{
if(e.getKeyCode()==Controll.Key.ESC.getKeyCode())
{
System.exit(1);
}
}
}
System specs:
Windows vista 32 bit.
Jre 1.7 32 bit
JDk 5,6,7.
EDIT the issue can been resolved by exporting as a runnable and adding -jar to the command arguements, for some reason the jar had to be exported as a Runnable Jar to find the main class.
To run it as a jar file, you need the -jar
option. Something like:
java -jar "2Dwars 2.0.jar"
(I'd suggest using a filename which doesn't have spaces in for simplicity's sake, too.)
