Can you put the exact code here you use. I think it's not a bad idea

So you include that folder, not the files containing in that folders, right?

To create myJar.jar I used the command

Code:

jar cfm myJar.jar manifest.mf *

I used * because I want to include all the classes in the current directory and its sub directories.

Not like that.I wrote manifest as:

Code:

Main-Class: mainClass
Class-Path: lib/jar1.jar lib/jar2.jar

and the jar file I created also contains this lib folder.

Try it without using * sign.

[gowry]

Code:

 
jar cfm myJar.jar manifest.mf pack1\* pack2\* lib\*

is this you meant?

it also have the same problem.

Interesting, either one of the way should work. Only keeping the all folder structure it's work.

In Netbeans it's true. I can't make a single jar file, because build.xml file keep it's own folder structure to execute the main jar file. I've never try to change there settings. In distribution what I do is create single *.exe file and installation path keep as the initial folder structure. Then I don't want to worried about a single jar file.
