Executing a jar file using a .bat file

Question

I need to execute a jar file using a .bat file. The problem occurs here:

"java -Djava.library.path=timer -classpath .;timer\timer.jar"

There is a folder called " timer " within the folder in which I execute the .bat file and which contains the timer.jar. The jar is executed but it isn't using the timer I wanted it to use, instead I get a debug message that it wasn't possible to load the library and the program used the standard timer. I tried to add the library to the classpath manually, but that didn't work either. What am I doing wrong?

Answer 1

the simplest way is to use a manifest file within the main jar to load all libraries. using ide like netbeans or eclips will help.
