Using Netbeans 6.8 and metro 2.0 I have written a simple application that makes calls to a webservice and displays the results in java swing components. When I run the application in the Netbeans IDE (using F6), the application works perfectly.
However, when I attempt to run the compiled application from the .jar file in the dist folder, my swing UI comes up, but when I press the button that causes my web service to be called, nothing happens.
Anyone know how I can get this to work?
Try running in a terminal window (CMD.EXE) to see if there are any exceptions printed to the console.
Does your action listener work when stand alone? Confirm by printing a message to System.out.
