I have my first application written in Netbeans, with supporting libraries. After building the project, the file NetbeansProjects/PDF/dist/PDF.jar runs fine.
I'm ultimately trying to build a OSX app, but think(?) that the first step is to bundle the PDF.jar and the /lib/*.jar files together.
To this end, I'm using JarSplice, but can't work out how set the Main Class. I think it should be found in the manifest.mf file, but it doesn't seem to contain anything. JarSplice requests:
Enter your applications main class file below, complete with any packages that it maybe in. E.g: my
package.someotherpackage.MainClass
Adding System.out.println(main.getClassName()); to my main method gives me "PDF" in the output window of Netbeans.
Can someone tell me how I go about finding the main class, and ideally, because I'm an idiot, exactly what to input into as the main class into JarSplice?
It depends were you put your main class when developing. Try the class name that contains your main method, if you put your main method in Test.java then put;Test
If your main class is nested in a package then put something like org.package.Test
Once you export your .jar open up the Manifest file and next to Main-Class: should have the main class, just copy and paste
