I've spent far too much time trying to figure this out. This should be the simplest thing and everyone who distributes Java applications in jars must have to deal with it. I just want to know the proper way to add versioning to my Java app so that I can access the version information when I'm testing, e.g. debugging in Eclipse and runn...
Hi all - I've been trying to run a jar file - let's call it test.jar - that uses the Sybase jconn3.jar on a Unix system. I have created a MANIFEST.MF file that has the following: Class-Path: $SYBASE/jConnect-6_0/classes/jconn3.jar commons-net-1.3.0.jar This gives a ClassNotFoundError. $SYBASE is the system variable that points to /o...
Hi all! I am currently trying to obfuscate my Eclipse RCP application with ProGuard. The problem is that it obfuscates the package names (the class My.Package.Class turns into something like a.b.c), but keeps the package names in the Export-Package section of MANIFEST.MF. This leads to the fact that my application (which is a set of OSG...
I have a standard project layout for a java project: project / src / source_file_1.java ... source_file_N.java build / classes / source_file_X.class ... jar / MyJar.jar lib / SomeLibrary.jar SomeOtherLibrary.jar As far...

I'm able to read the Manifest file inside of my Java code, but I would also like to know if it's possible, and if it is, how to open up a JAR file from the command line and view its Manifest.MF file, or at the very least be able to specify a property of the Manifest.MF file and view it's value. ...

Hi, I've used 'Mangen' to process my jar, which works but it adds the next line to the manifest Bundle-ManifestVersion: 1 after which Felix 1.8.0 complains with -> install file:D:/bundles/osgi_ds_1.jar.new.jar org.osgi.framework.BundleException: Unknown 'Bundle-ManifestVersion' value: 1 at org.apache.felix.framework.util.ma...
I am trying to access the class files packaged as a library but unfortunately the jar libraries should be packaged in another jar file. As an example say I have a.jar that contains some class libraries. I can call (import) the classes in the jar file from my external java application. Now I need to put this a.jar inside another jar say...
Hi, i need to read the Manifest file, which delivered my class. but it seems that when i use getClass().getClassLoader().getResources(...) i end up getting the MANIFEST from the first Jar loaded into the Java Runtime. My app will be running from applet or webstart, so i will not have access to my own .jar file i guess i actually w...
Hello! Netbeans doesn't allow me to specify, which files I want to have additionally included inside the JAR. Can I work this around by editing the manifest.mf? Or by editing build.xml? What else could be done? EDIT I need the files to appear in jar's root (files such as LICENSE.txt or some exec script), because otherwise they would...
I tried adding manifest.file=${src.dir}/manifest.mf to project.properties, but looking through the build-impl.xml I see that the manifest.available is usually accompanied by main.class condition, so it makes me believe that my manifest would be added only if the package has a main class, which mine, being a library, does not have. No mat...
Hi, A library that my java application uses needs looks for a file (log4j.xml) in the class path. I use netbeans to manage my project, but I can't find a way to include the lib/ folder. Netbeans automatically creates a MANIFEST.MF file inside the application jar and also creates a folder called lib/ which includes all dependencies. Thi...

How can I fixed? Can I ...

Hi, I've programmed an application that take about 300 kilobytes. The jar files that it uses (library) take about 10 megz. These library jar files are used in other applications I wrote and so I would like to have them located in an external central location (Meaning - A path on some hard drive in the same computer). Hopefully, the pat...
From my readings, when you execute a command as follows: java -jar foo.jar Then the main classpath is ignored and the classpath is taken from the manifest file. Further, the classpath declared on the command line is also ignored. So in: java -classpath /usr/local/jar/foobar.jar -jar foo.jar /usr/local/jar/foobar.jar is ignored. ...
