Java-8 :: Deploying Runnable JAR Files
Jan 21, 2015
I recently started working with Java 8. I have been doing Java development on and off since the early 1990's. Most recently I have been doing all my current work in Java 6. I decided to "take the plunge" and to start getting involved with Java 8. I have an imaging application for geologic research I started working on in Java 6 and Swing, and I am now continuing that development under Java 8. It was a pleasant surprise that to find that all of my code built without any changes (I'm using Eclipse Luna and just deleted the Java 6 runtime and added the Java 8 runtime after downloading it). The application launches fine from inside Eclipse.
However I ran into a problem when exporting the application from Eclipse to a runnable JAR file and then trying to launch it. After creating the runnable JAR I was not able to launch it by simply double clicking. A command line box would open for a second, then close and the application window would never open. To upgrade from Java 6 to Java 8 I only downloaded the Java 8 runtime environment, not the Java 8 JDK. I am working in Windows 7 and tried updating the JAR file associations and experimented with various path entries in my environment variables. No mater what I did I could not simply double click the runnable JAR to launch it.
Then I deleted all my Java downloads and started over. This time all I did was downloaded the Java 8 JDK and installed it. I then pointed Eclipse to the Java 8 runtime environment that was installed with the Java 8 JDK. My code built and executed perfectly in the Eclipse environment. Then I exported the the Eclipse project as a runnable JAR again and tried to launch it. This time it worked as expected. Double clicking the runnable JAR launched the application!
So my question is if I want to give this application to someone to run (i.e. deploy it) that is not a developer, do I have to have them install the Java 8 JDK? I assumed that all someone would need to run the application as a runnable JAR is the Java 8 runtime environment, not the JDK. However, when I had only the Java 8 runtime environment installed I could not launch the runnable JAR. With the Java 8 JDK I was able to run the runnable JAR as expected, with no problem.

I have created a database driven Java app that i would like to deploy to several PCs. The App uses JReports which only worked when i installed Javac on this laptop. It worked fine within Netbeans but after building it depended on the java compiler and only worked after setting up Path variable..
Will i need to setup the Javac on every machine or is there any way of deploying it easier?

I've been working quite a bit with a login system the past couple of months and I now have a version that I would like to try "for real" by extracting it as a runnable .jar or .exe file. I've looked at a couple of guides that told me how to do this properly, but even after following every step precisely it didn't work.
One of the guides I tried: 3 Ways to Create an Executable File from Eclipse - wikiHow
Double clicking the file or selecting it and pressing enter does nothing, the computer loads for a second and then nothing happens. I don't receive any visible errors when extracting the program, either.
However, when running the file from the command prompt I do receive an odd error:
Microsoft Windows [Version 6.2.9200]
(c) 2012 Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved.
C:UsersUserName>java -jar Login.jar
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: input == null!

at LoginSystem.Data.<init>(Data.java:309)
at LoginSystem.MainFrame.<init>(MainFrame.java:42)
at LoginSystem.MainFrame.main(MainFrame.java:457)
C:UsersUserName>
I must say I don't quite understand the error, it seems to be unable to load an image which is odd considering the program works fine without any errors at all in Eclipse.

I am a student, who are doing a software project. The last step will be deploying the software as desktop exe for both windows and unix.
Question1 : my project has a folder structure like this:
+ Input file folder
+ configuration file folder
+ Output file folder
+ my project codes
So my class in project codes should have proper access to the other three folders(input,output,config). Then what can I do to feed the function a relative path?How would that looks like?
Question2:
Is that true, for windows and unix I have to write two versions of codes on system-dependant path?

Web Layer - JSP/Servlets
Business Layer - EJB 3
I want to develop separate projects for web layer (.war) and for Business layer (.jar). I want to deploy these layers on different Glassfish servers.
Here is my Approach -
1. Create a separate module for remote interfaces (.jar), use @remote annotations
2. Create a Web module using JSP/Servlets (.war) and use this remote interface jar in it.
3. Create a EJB module (.jar) and implement these remote interface in it.
4. Use JNDI in Web layer to access the EJB methods.
I want to know if this is the correct approach?

I question this as I have not yet succeeded in deploying a working ruleset for use with intranet based applications. I have verified the ruleset is working with external internet java apps so it is being deployed correctly just doesn't steer Intranet based apps to the correct version.

I have an app that saves pdfs and images from a web page. The web sections send info to the server elements running in Java. I have hardcoded the path to where the images and pdfs need to be saved but on the server, these paths will be different. I'd prefer to just save them to something like:
whateverMyDeploymentDirectoryIs/files/pdfs
or something. How do I find out what my root directory is so that I can make the path relative instead of hard coded?

I am still working on my java course and now we have to create a jar file from a previous project (this is a project where a connection to the database is made and data is shown in a frame).
When I follow the instruction in my course material I don't get it to work. I've tried the following:
1. Open eclipse on windows xp
2. Right click on the project folder in eclipse
3. Click on "export" in the menu that appears
4. Choose "runnable jar"
5. click next
6. I insert the following parameters:
- Launch configuration --> I select my main class
- export destination --> I select the folder D:
- library handling --> Package required libraries into generated jar
7. click Finish
This is what happens when I dbl click the jarfile (wampserver is running):
1. I get an error: "SQL ERROR: Communications link failure The last packet sent successfully to the server was 0 milliseconds ago. The driver has not received any packets from the server."
2. I click ok on the message and the following message appears: "SQL Error: null"
3. I click ok on this message and the frame with the fields appears without data from the database.
This is a crosspost to: [URL] ...

my aim is to make a runnable jar. I've made a program using swings which uses MS Access database to fetch records. So, I've used an absolute path to refer to the database for connection. Now, I intend to distribute this runnable jar to other people as well. So I guess the best option would be to embed the MS Access database as well in the jar file. But I don't know how to do that. Where should I keep the database in my Project Explorer ? Should I use a relative path etc.
This is my code:-
Java Code:
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import java.sql.*;
import java.util.Vector;
import javax.swing.*;
import javax.swing.table.DefaultTableModel;

I've seen examples that don't use a separate Runnable Implementation, but Instead Just make a subclass of Thread and override the Thread's runO method. That way,you call the Thread's no--arg constructor when you make the new thread;
Thread t = new Thread(); 1/no Runnable"
Any simple code that demonstrates the same. I haven't fully understood what is said in the text above. I have a hunch that the last line is wrong and it should be Thread t = new <Whatever class extends Thread class and over rides its run method>()
Am I correct or wrong....

I want to have two threads running in my class, one will be downloading info from a website then putting the thread to sleep for a little bit, then repeating. The other will be sending information to a website then putting the thread to sleep for a little bit, then repeating. Is it possible to do this in my main class? I already have one thread using run() for downloading the info and sleeping can i make another?

I'm reading about threads In Head First Java and the way an Instance of a class that Implements Runnable Is created confuses me a little.
public class MyRunnable implements Runnable ......
Runnable ThreadJob = new MyRunnable();
I thought I had to use this syntax :
MyRunnable ThreadJob =new MyRunnable();

I'm trying to export a runnable jar file that requires lwjgl. Everything works in eclipse as I'm using
-Djava.library.path=nativewindows
as a VM Argument for the jinput .dll files.
After exporting & launching the jar it doesn't work of course! I get this error:
java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: no junput-dx8 in java.library.path
I'm not sure how to make it work outside of eclipse....

When I try to run my runnable jar file, it wont do anything. And when I try to run it from the console, it says
"java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: no LWJGL in java.library.path..."
How do I fix this?
I've specified the path by properties > Libraries > lwjgl.jar > Native Library Location > .... And I chose the right paths. But I still get that java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError.
It says I'm getting an error on line 34 which is:
appgc = new AppGameContainer(new Game(gamename));
My whole main class is:
package net.battleboy;
import org.newdawn.slick.*;
import org.newdawn.slick.state.*;
public class Game extends StateBasedGame {
public static final String gamename = "Battle Boy 1.0 ALPHA";
public static final int menu = 0;
public static final int play = 1;
public static final int settings = 2;

public class HelloWorld extends JFrame {
private static final long serialVersionUID = 4968624166243565348L;
private JLabel label = new JLabel("Hello Java Web START!");
public HelloWorld() {
super("Jave Web Start Example");
this.setSize(350, 200);
this.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE );

I was looking at the Sound API pages in the java tutorials. I was planning to use it to run wma files. Fortunately, for me, I found, soon into the tutorials, that these API DON'T support the type I have all of my files in (I have a ton of wma files but none of the libraries mentioned support them.)
I almost thought I heard JavaFx or whatever it's called does, but that sounds foreign and Netbeans lists it as a separate type of java in a way, so I don't know if it would be cross-platform or if it could work with the JavaSE API.) Nor do I know what JavaSX or whatever it's called is really, other than that it's more for internet than application.
If I wanted a JPanel or Applet acting as the content pane of a JFrame or being in a JFrame, could I use JavaFX (or whatever it's called) or some third party library (that I always tend to end up spending hours on trying to get it to find the jar files when I import them, so I hope I don't need too many jar files!!!! ) would it work with the JavaSE API?
I don't know much about Java and playing sounds (other than that there is a static method, I think under Toolkit, that will play a system beep) with programs.
However, I can see that that packages don't support certain types (so much for cross-platform!!!!!!! ) and also that a while back that Oracle took over and that they aren't really updating the Java Sound APIs really that much at all
So, without having to learn a whole new Java set of standards (assuming JavaFX or whatever it's called is a different set of standards from JavaSE), is there a way to play .wma?
That's all I seem to have on my computer.
(I suppose I could create new sounds, though if Oracle isn't updating the library, who knows if even that works anymore, but if you're trying to run a Java Media Player that runs lots of DIFFERENT sound file types, this seems a real setback. )
I heard you could convert them to MP3s (I heard there were free things that did it, but who knows if the things aren't filled with viruses that'll do it or, even if they're not, that they'll really mess up the quality of the sound and that I might lose the old .wma file in the process even if it doesn't corrupt the sound.)
But, even if I get a .mp3, I heard the main JavaSE libraries DON'T cover that either, though it was said it was easier to make it run them than .wma files.
MediaPlayer and the main JavaSE classes don't seem to be able to fit for this type of program (a java media player) that I was planning. Heck, they can't even play any music I have on my computer at all, media player or not.

I have a batch of files that I want to remove a common word from all of their filenames. I think I could bash my way through this if I had a linux machine, but I don't. Any tips on what classes I need for the files I want to rename (if any) would be great. I can handle the string changes, but searching a directory and renaming files is something I've never done with code before.

My friend has a youtube channel with 50.000 - 100.000 subscribers. I dont know the exact amount but he asked me to make a program for his subscribers. I made it in Java and it works perfectly fine but now i want to make it secure so people can't decompile it and read/change the code. Because ofcourse he also has viewers who can hack programs.
But i dont know how i can do that. I dont want to make the code hard to read. I already heard about program which adds lines of code without doing anything actually and programs making the code a lot more complicated. But thats not what i want, i want to make the Class files undecompilable so people cant decompile it to Java files again and read the code.
I know this is possible, Runescape for example is written in Java too and secured good enough in my opinion. I know there are fake Runescape games called private servers or something like that. But its not easy as downloading the game, decompiling it, connecting it to another server and you're done. A little kid can do that but i think its even possible that people just programmed Runescape again from scratch.So i want to make my program very hard to decompile or even impossible, i want it as impossible as possible.
