Things I Needed to Know

[chebe]

To make an executable jar (laugh if you want, but I was always happy without an executable):

- need to be in bin folder (or the root of your .class structure)
- create manifest.mf, add:
Main-class: socket/client/main
- jar -cvfm socketclient.jar manifest.mf socket/client
- chomd 777 socketclient.jar
- ./socketclient.jar 9.88.44.3 (or java -jar socketclient.jar 9.88.44.3)

From Java 1.6; for a single level jar.

Create a folder; META-INF. In this folder create a file; MANIFEST.MF with the following contents;

Manifest-Version: 1.0
Created-By: 1.6.0_20 (Sun Microsystems Inc.)
Main-class: Main


Make sure to end the file with a blank line.
Then back in your bin dir;
jar -cvfe myjar.jar Main Main.class all.class my.class files.class

Then to run;
java -jar myjar.jar
