So I'm trying to compile my game for my Object-Oriented Programming class into a jar
file so it can be ran with java -jar javacoffeeadventure.jar
.
My folder structure for a folder with java
files removed looks like this:
audiomanager/
commandinterpreter/
gamemanager/
io/
logic/
META-INF/
player/
resources/
rooms/
main.class
Everything is packaged under javacoffeeadventure
. For example, the main
file is javacoffeeadventure.main
. The META-INF
folder contains one MANIFEST.MF
file that I tried to edit and make the jar
invoke main.class
's main()
method:
Manifest-Version: 1.0
Created-By: 1.8.0_60 (Oracle Corporation)
Main-Class: javacoffeeadventure.main
I know I use jar
to compile into a jar
file, but how would I use that command to create a jar
file that is able to begin with javacoffeeadventure.main
? Is my manifest wrong?
as a slight by-the-way, jar puns are funny to me if you guys have any. :)
In my experience, the following has worked, but if you utilize it, you may need to adapt your directory structure.
First, your folder structure needs to be of the form 'containing_folder.com.example.package', where your classes are in the 'package' folder. You need to then place your manifest.mf file in the uppermost directory ('folder'). The manifest file should be as follows:
Manifest-Version: 1.0
Main-Class: com/example/package/javacoffeeadventure
including a carriage return after the second line.
From the initial folder compile with the following command:
jar cmvf manifest.mf javacoffeeadventure.jar com/example/package/*.class
making sure that beforehand you've compiled the classes in your package (use *.java)
Hope this helps.
