problem related to MANIFEST.MF in jar

Question

I have created jar in folder /usr/local/bin/niidle.jar.

And I have cerated MANIFEST.MF in jar as follows:

Manifest-Version: 1.0
Main-Class: com.ensarm.         


        

Answer 1

Line niidle.jar/lib/hector-0.6.0-17.jar is confusing. Is niidle.jar directory or file? I'd suggest you to post your full manifest, directory structure, command line you are using and current working directory.

But generally you should write in your manifest: Class-Path: hector-0.6.0-17.jar

then put all jars in one directory. Let's call it foo. Now open command prompt, go to foo and run

java -jar niidle.jar args...

And I believe that everything will work. Then if you wish play with location of your jars.
