Running a jar of SWT/JFace project on the other Computers

Question

I am creating a SWT/JFace project and exporting as executable jar. But this jar is not working on the other computers. When use double clicks the jar nothing happens. I am sure that other user has JRE installed.

I think problem is the Referanced Libraries. Beause near the libraries its written C:\\Users\\Turgut - İhracat.p2\\pool\\plugins\\org.eclipse.osgi_3.12.50.v20170928-1321.jar

Any helps will be apriciated..

Answer 1

A plain SWT Java application requires at least

• the platform independent org.eclipse.swt_<version>.jar and
• the platform dependent org.eclipse.swt.<platform>_<version>.jar of the same version.

The platform dependent JAR contains the native SWT library and must correspond to the operating system and JRE, eg for Windows and a 64 bit JRE the current JAR is org.eclipse.swt.win32.win32.x86_64_3.106.1.v20170926-0519.jar (for macOS X see also Deploying SWT Applications on Mac OS X .).

For JFace the JARs

• org.eclipse.jface_<version>.jar ,
• org.eclipse.equinox.common_<version>.jar and
• org.eclipse.core.commands_<version>.jar .

are required in addition (see Using JFace outside the Eclipse platform ).

The org.eclipse.osgi JAR and other JARs are only required for OSGi -based applications. SWT/JFace works in both plain Java and OSGi applications.
