Creating JAR file goes wrong.

[dudejonne]

I have created a jar file, at first there was some error about no main, so I added a manifest. Now I get this error, but I cannot figure out what it means.

C:\>java -jar img.jar

Some help please? :)

Check your manifest, did you accidentally put a space in your Class imageMode?

(like this: image Mode)

Also I highly recommend capitalizing the first letter of your classes, it's a good convention to follow.

A post showing what your manifest looks like and the classes you have in your jar would be helpful.

[dudejonne]

I only have one class in the jar file, it is called image.class so there are no spaces.

The manifest is like this:
Manifest-Version: 1.0
Main-Class: image


And if I remember correctly the jar creating I did was like this:

jar cvfm image.jar manifest.mf image.class

[AlbertoPL]

I will assume then that your image.java has the class name as image? If not, the problem lies there.

The jar itself looks ok. Are you sure you aren't missing any other classes that you might need?

[dudejonne]

class name image? you mean the class file is called image.class? yes.

[AlbertoPL]

No, I am referring to the actual source, the image.java file should have this line:

public class image {

}

If that is not the case, that would be the cause of the error. The error itself states that it cannot find the class image$Mode. That leads me to believe that either the image$Mode.class file is missing, or the image.class file should be named image$Mode.

If you do not have the image.java file, then I would try renaming the image.class file to image$Mode and see if that does anything.

[dudejonne]

Ahh.. I remember when I did that javac image.java there were some extra files created... wait..
Yap.. I added that image$Mode and three others and it works! Thnx!
