Java executable Jar File

Question

I am trying to make an executable jar file from eclipse (using MySQL as database).

How can can I make the executable jar file?

I made one but it shows some warning and not works. I am getting a long warning list. Here is the warning:

Solution 1

"it shows some warning and not works" Keep in mind that we won't be able to help you much if you don't provide details on what error you encounter : http://imgur.com/jacoj

Eclipse may warn you that your executable jar file has been created with warnings. It just means that your classes have warnings (yellow !). It doesnt mean at all that the produced jar file won't work.

Solution 2

1. Right click on the project which you need to export as jar
2. Select the option 'Export' from the list
3. From the new pop up, select 'Runnable jar file'
4. Click 'next' button
5. In the next window give a name for your jar and the launch configuration (the class with main method)
6. Select the appropriate option for the required libraries and click finish button

warnings don't prevent you from launching jar. Try $java -jar filename.jar. What happends? What exactly do you mean saying "does not work"

[Andrew Thompson]

"Warning is just fine" Warnings should not be ignored. They are reported for a reason.

@Andrew I am not sure how this warnings cause problem to make jar as executable. could you please explain. I know very well that there is a purpose.

[Andrew Thompson]

It depends what the warnings are, still waiting for details from the OP.

[Stephen C]

Try fixing the warnings before you export.

Do you have a main class that is executable? Do you have a main function? If you hit 'run' from within eclipse does it run?
