使用Java主类的Eclipse可执行Scala Jar

Question

I am trying to create an executable Jar from my Scala project. Therefore, I followed a tutorial. It suggested creating a Java main class within eclipse, which calls the Scala entry point. This works fine when executing within eclipse. After adding this class I was able to export an executable jar. However, it wont work with

java -jar myjar.jar

I made sure to activate "Package required library into jar" when exporting. My Java main class looks like this (where Driver is also located in the package core)

package core;

public class Main {
     public static void main(String[] args) {
        Driver.main(args);
    }
}

And when executing the exported char the follwing error is thrown, which I can debug:

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.reflect.InvocationTargetException

Answer 1

You could use the One-jar application to guarantee all the necessary jars are in the jarfile, I suspect the scala-lang jars are not in it or in the classpath of the command line.

Maven: https://code.google.com/p/onejar-maven-plugin/ SBT: https://github.com/sbt/sbt-onejar

If you aren't using either maven or SBT I would suggest switching to them as well as they are the main supported build systems in Scala
