Package Help

[DMarsh12]

For a final project due tomorrow I am having issues packaging the search and sort program I have created...I don't know how to package it at all...any help would be greatly appreciated.

package classwork;
import classwork.classwork;
	public class classwork {//creating class "classwork"
		public static void main(String[]args){//Main Method
			int list[]={123,157,162,217,345,612,718,913,319,412,123,159};//creating array int
			int i = binarySearch(list,2);System.out.println("The value of i is:" + i);//declaration of int i
			int j = binarySearch(list,11);System.out.println("The value of j is:" + j);//declaration of int j
			int k = binarySearch(list,12);System.out.println("The value of k is:" + k);//declaration of int j
			int l = binarySearch(list,1);System.out.println("The value of l:" + l);//declaration of int l
			int m = binarySearch(list,3);System.out.println("The value of m:" + m);//declaration of int m
			selectionsort(list);
		}
		public static int binarySearch (int[]list, int key){//
			int low = 0;int high = list.length - 1;//int low and high
			while(high > low){//while statement
				int mid = (low + high)/2;//int mid
				if (key < list[mid]) high = mid - 1;//if statement
				else if (key==list[mid])return mid;//else statement
				else low = mid + 1;//else statement
			}
			return - low -1;//return statement
		}
		public static void selectionsort(int[]list){
			for (int i = list.length - 1;i>=1;i--){//for statement
				int currentmax = list[0];//int currentmax
				int currentmaxinx = 0;
				for (int j=1;j<=i;j++){//for loop
					if	(currentmax == list[i])//if statement
						currentmax = list[j];
						currentmaxinx = j;
						System.out.println(currentmax+" "+currentmaxinx);//System printout
						if(currentmaxinx!=i){//if statement
							list [currentmaxinx] = list[i];
							list [i] = currentmax;
						}
				}
			}
		}

What do you mean by "packaging"?
Putting the class files in a jar file?
Using the package statement?

[DMarsh12]

yes that is exactly what i mean

[sunde887]

Try this link and others on similar topics at this site, it should help: Creating a JAR File (The Java™ Tutorials > Deployment > Packaging Programs in JAR Files)

Which of the two possibilities I listed is exactly what i mean?

using the package type... i am close to doing it but when i do package them together it says it cannot find the list in the other file i dont get it

[Norm]

it says it cannot find

Please copy and paste the console showing the command entered and the error message.

If you use packages in your code, the class file in the jar file must be on the path set by the package statement. The jar command must get the files from the folder containing the classwork folder and include the classwork folder in the path to the class file that is added to the jar file.

Here's a batch file I use to create a jar file. The NormsTools folder is in the JavaDevelopment folder.

REM Make CreateTN.jar file - for 1.6
%DEV_DRIVE%
cd %DEV_HOME%\JavaDevelopment\Misc_Projects\CreateTN
jar -cmf CreateTN.mnf %JAVA_RUN%\CreateTN.jar CreateTN*.class
@REM Now pick up the Tools it needs:
cd %DEV_HOME%\JavaDevelopment\
jar -uf %JAVA_RUN%\CreateTN.jar NormsTools\AskMultipleChoices*.class NormsTools\*MakeEnterDoAction*.class NormsTools\NormsDropTarget*.class NormsTools\DroppedFileHandler*.class NormsTools\MyFilenameFilter*.class SlideShow\RSSUtility*.class SlideShow\ImageData*.class
@ECHO ---- Created: %JAVA_RUN%\CreateTN.jar ----
