Jar exporter seems to have a problem [message #27609] Tue, 15 February 2005 20:12 Go to next message

Hi all -

I'm trying to export a project into a jar file for execution, but Eclipse
seems to have trouble when your class files are not located at the root of
the project directory.

For example, lets say my project is in <eclipse>/workspace/project and I
have my output (class files) going to
<eclipse>/workspace/project/output/classfiles/.

When I make a jar file using 'File>export', it will create the jar file
(although it can't find any 'main class' even if the only class I'm
exporting has a main menthod and runs fine in eclipse), but the resulting
jar file will put the class files under /output/classfiles. For example,
if I have a class called com.mypackage.myclass, then myclass.class will
apear in the jar file at:

/output/classfiles/com/mypackage/myclass.class

I can't seem to find any way in the export wizard to tell it that the
classes start relative to a certain location - even though the project
acknowledges this and will run them fine.

I am perfectly able to create the jar file myself, but this is for a very
large project and it would really save me a lot of time if I could get
this feature in Eclipse to work for me (as there are lots of classes that
I don't need to include and the GUI for this is very handy).

Please let me know if you need clarification on my problem.

Using Eclipse 3.1M4 with JDK 1.5.0_01 (enums all over the place, can't
move back on either version).

Thanks
Jason

In order to have someone fix or even look at the problem you'll have to
file a bug report using bugzilla (https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/).
