Re: Ant Jar + Manifest

[Ulf Karlsson]

Hello,
There are diffrent classes specified:
In manifest creation: ie.comp.main.AntTool
In actual manifest: ie.dit.comp.anttool.AntToolMain
In the filesystem: ie\dit\comp\anttool\AntToolMain
In run target: ie.dit.comp.AntTool.main.AntTool
Since the run target works, the actual manifest should probably point to the 
class: ie.dit.comp.AntTool.main.AntTool
And the jar structure must of course match this class definition

Hope this helps

Subject: Ant Jar + Manifest


Hello,
I need help on this - the program runs fine from a normal dos prompt by
calling 'run'.
However if the program is run as a standalone jar file i get the error
"Could not find the main class".
I am trying to run the jar file as a standalone jar file so i need to get
this working!
Can anydody see what the problem is as i get the main-class cant be found 
as
i think i have hte correct manifest set!

Directory Layout is as follows, all the classpaths seem ok as when i copy
the links into a windows explorer the path directory apppears;
root
