How do I export to a Jar?

[Bread]

I have created a game for fun, and I'm having trouble exporting it to a jar file so I can place it on a webpage.
It runs perfectly in eclipse however, on a webpage the jar file sits there with the Java logo waiting it load, which it never does.

So I'm not sure if I should use just class files to place on the webpage.


However, when I try to use the applet tag with code="Game.class" it only draws a black screen with none of the things from my other classes being loaded. So I'm not sure whether Eclipse is messed up, or if I don't know anything at all(Which is most likely the case).

So can anyone help me seal my game into a jar? Or just get it on a blank HTML document for that matter.

It can be found here:

Your best bet is to create smaller experimental jars to test sub-portions of your program to find out just where the problem is -- to trouble shoot, and then when found, to post this small program here.

My guess is that you're trying to treat resources such as images as if they were files, which may work in Eclipse but not in the Jar where you have to treat them as resources. If you use images or obtain files, try a simpler version of your program without this functionality just to see if it works.

Luck!

It worked perfectly, thank you very much! I replaced all the images with drawRect and it worked just the way it needs to.

How would I go about adding images since it didn't work?

Thanks again,

Use the ImageIO.read(InputStream input) method, and get your images not as files, but as resources via class's getResourceAsStream(...) method.

I'll be sure to stick around this forum for awhile!

I'll take a look at making my images into resources and post any troubles I have later on.


Thanks for the help again Fubarable!
