Hi,
I am trying to export a Java application to jar file using the
JarPackageData class.
I use IJarExportRunnable runnable=
description.createJarExportRunnable(null); where "description" is the
object of type JarPackageData with manifest details and other required
things (set before calling createJarExport....).
After that I use
ProgressMonitorDialog pd = new ProgressMonitorDialog(null);
pd.run(true,true, runnable);
which throws java.lang.reflect.InvocationTargetException: "JAR creation
failed. See details for additional information."
(this is thrown while executing pd.run....). Now how do I see the exact
error that caused the JAR creation failure.
I tried stack tracing the target exception of InvocationTargetException ..
not of much use though.

Thanks for your time

Hi,
Found solution for this problem. Just mentioning it here so that if someone
else faces the same prob it cud be of some help:

The IJarExportRunnable that you create can be queried for its status as :
IStatus is = runnable.getStatus(); // runnable is variable of type
IJarExportRunnable
you can then check children status (if any) of this status object as :
IStatus[] statArray = stat.getChildren();
for (int i = 0; i < statArray.length; i++) {
System.out.println("CHILD STATUS "+statArray[i]);
}
The base error that causes - java.lang.reflect.InvocationTargetException:
"JAR creation
failed. See details for additional information." exception is recorded in
the child status objects.
