I've got the following project structure:
-Project name
--src
--web-content
If I export my project as "Runnable JAR file", no 'web-content' folder will be in exported archive. How can I fix that?
You can check the Save as ANT script in export wizard.
Editing the ANT script, then run it to produce the archive that you want.
<project default="create_run_jar">
<target name="create_run_jar">
<jar destfile="my_run.jar">
<fileset dir="x:/workspace/Project name/bin"/><!-- Default output folder of your Java project -->
<fileset dir="x:/workspace/Project name/web-content"/><!-- add extra folder-->
</jar>
</target>
</project>

I have WSDL file URL and I want to create JAR file and need use in another project.
I have try to convert with below scenarios
1.Using wsimport command to Java files and using this java files create maven project as packaging JAR
wsimport -keep -wsdllocation /MyService.wsdl
2.Using ANT build (create build.xml file create target for export JAR)
<target name="dist" depends="compile" description="generate the distribution">
<buildnumber />
<!-- Create the distribution directory -->
<mkdir dir="${dist}/lib" />
MyApplication-${version}.${build.number}.jar -->
<jar destfile="${dist}/lib/MyApplication-${version}.${build.number}.jar" basedir="${build}" />
</target>
above both scenarios JAR exported but when I deployed in server getting below Exception
java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError
what I am doing wrong ?
is there any simple way to convert wsdl to Jar?
This Issue occur run time class not found.
I have add new Assembly in Eclipse -> specific project -> Web Deployment Assembly
select specific JAR,WAR,RAR or ZIP file from path and set.
and test again after this solved this issue.
I am trying to build an executable jar program which depends on external jar downloaded. In my project, I included them in the build path and can be run and debug within eclipse.
When I tried to export it to a jar, I can run the program but I can't when I try to press a button which includes function calls and classes from the external jar. I have edited the environment variables (Windows XP) CLASSPATH to include paths of all the external jar, but it doesn't work.
A point to note is that I got compile warnings while exporting my executable jar, but it doesn't show up any description about the warnings.
Would someone kindly provide a thorough guide on how to include an external jar program using eclipse?
Eclipse 3.5 has an option to package required libraries into the runnable jar.
File -> Export...
Choose runnable jar and click next.
The runnable jar export window has a radio button where you can choose to package the required libraries into the jar.
You can do this by writing a manifest for your jar. Have a look at the Class-Path header. Eclipse has an option for choosing your own manifest on export.
The alternative is to add the dependency to the classpath at the time you invoke the application:
win32: java.exe -cp app.jar;dependency.jar foo.MyMainClass
*nix: java -cp app.jar:dependency.jar foo.MyMainClass
How to include the jars of your project into your runnable jar:
I'm using Eclipse Version: 3.7.2 running on Ubuntu 12.10. I'll also show you how to make the build.xml so you can do the ant jar from command line and create your jar with other imported jars extracted into it.
Basically you ask Eclipse to construct the build.xml that imports your libraries into your jar for you.
Fire up Eclipse and make a new Java project, make a new package 'mypackage', add your main class: Runner Put this code in there.
Now include the mysql-connector-java-5.1.28-bin.jar from Oracle which enables us to write Java to connect to the MySQL database. Do this by right clicking the project -> properties -> java build path -> Add External Jar -> pick mysql-connector-java-5.1.28-bin.jar.
Run the program within eclipse, it should run, and tell you that the username/password is invalid which means Eclipse is properly configured with the jar.
In Eclipse go to File -> Export -> Java -> Runnable Jar File. You will see this dialog:
Make sure to set up the 'save as ant script' checkbox. That is what makes it so you can use the commandline to do an ant jar later.
Then go to the terminal and look at the ant script:
So you see, I ran the jar and it didn't error out because it found the included mysql-connector-java-5.1.28-bin.jar embedded inside Hello.jar.
Look inside Hello.jar: vi Hello.jar and you will see many references to com/mysql/jdbc/stuff.class
To do ant jar on the commandline to do all this automatically: Rename buildant.xml to build.xml, and change the target name from create_run_jar to jar.
Then, from within MyProject you type ant jar and boom. You've got your jar inside MyProject. And you can invoke it using java -jar Hello.jar and it all works.
As a good practice you can use an Ant Script (Eclipse comes with it) to generate your JAR file. Inside this JAR you can have all dependent libs.
You can even set the MANIFEST's Class-path header to point to files in your filesystem, it's not a good practice though.
Ant build.xml script example:
<project name="jar with libs" default="compile and build" basedir=".">
<!-- this is used at compile time -->
<path id="example-classpath">
<pathelement location="${root-dir}" />
<fileset dir="D:/LIC/xalan-j_2_7_1" includes="*.jar" />
</path>
<target name="compile and build">
<!-- deletes previously created jar -->
<delete file="test.jar" />
<!-- compile your code and drop .class into "bin" directory -->
<javac srcdir="${basedir}" destdir="bin" debug="true" deprecation="on">
<!-- this is telling the compiler where are the dependencies -->
<classpath refid="example-classpath" />
</javac>
<!-- copy the JARs that you need to "bin" directory -->
<copy todir="bin">
<fileset dir="D:/LIC/xalan-j_2_7_1" includes="*.jar" />
</copy>
<!-- creates your jar with the contents inside "bin" (now with your .class and .jar dependencies) -->
<jar destfile="test.jar" basedir="bin" duplicate="preserve">
<manifest>
<!-- Who is building this jar? -->
<attribute name="Built-By" value="${user.name}" />
<!-- Information about the program itself -->
<attribute name="Implementation-Vendor" value="ACME inc." />
<attribute name="Implementation-Title" value="GreatProduct" />
<attribute name="Implementation-Version" value="1.0.0beta2" />
<!-- this tells which class should run when executing your jar -->
<attribute name="Main-class" value="ApplyXPath" />
</manifest>
</jar>
</target>
Try the fat-jar extension. It will include all external jars inside the jar.

java-jar-ignores-classpath-Workaround
I have been researching trying to find a way to combine multiple Jar files into on Jar as a deliverable.
In a directory I have an ant file named Jar_gen.xml that consists of the following code in its entirety
<target name="combine-jars">
<jar destfile="out.jar">
<zipgroupfileset dir="lib" includes="*.jar"/>
</jar>
</target>
In that same directory I have another directory named lib which contains all of the Jar files I would like to flatten.
I have been running the ant script with
ant -buildfile Jar_gen.xml
making sure that I am running it from the same directory that the Jar_gen.xml file is in.
I am getting no output from my ant script and I have not idea why. Can someone please help me fix my script so I may flatten all of my jars and continue constructing my deliverable package.
NOTE
I have no main class so the Eclipse runnable Jar will not work for me
I have very little experience running Ant scripts so complete answers would be very helpful.
Is your directory structure set up correctly?
I created a quick test using your script and it appears to work, given that you have everything set up in a directory structure as
project_root_dir
- build.xml
- lib
- a.jar
- b.jar
and build.xml looks like:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no"?>
<project name="test">
<target name="combine-jars">
<jar destfile="out.jar">
<zipgroupfileset dir="lib" includes="*.jar"/>
</jar>
</target>
</project>
when I go to the project_root_dir and run "ant combine-jars", I get an out.jar that contains the contents of both a.jar and b.jar.
I am trying to build an executable jar program which depends on external jar downloaded. In my project, I included them in the build path and can be run and debug within eclipse.
