JAR file behaves differently than in Eclipse [message #903782]

Hi,

First post here and a newbie to Java and Eclipse (long time programmer). I did some searching around the forum but didn't see anything like this.

Ok I have built a desktop application using Java and Eclipse. When I run it from inside of Eclipse it runs just fine. All of my GUI elements work and the application is great.

But after following the instructions I found How to create JAR file in Eclipse ("codejava.net/ides/eclipse/how-to-create-jar-file-in-eclipse") and tried to run my application the only thing that worked were the 'built in GUI' elements. The FileChooser worked and a message box when closing the application. But all of the GUI elements I put into my application failed.

The zip file I am posting has both the necessary XML input file and the JAR that was created.

Thank you in advance

Quick question: how do you manage your dependencies / libraries?
It looks funny that you include some src-zips of libraries, and then these don't seem to be complete.
Maybe you're just lacking those dependencies on the classpath when running outside Eclipse?

And then, since you mastered to create the jar using Eclipse I don't think the remaining problems are genuine Eclipse issues.

I have no idea how the src-zips of libraries got included. What should I do about that?

I think you are 100% correct on the dependencies not being part of my classpath. Here are the questions I have:
1. How do I figure out what library dependencies I need?
2. Do I create new classpath variables or do I put the libraries in the User Library?

For the jar file: open the export wizard, from there you should be able to figure out how to solve that problem. Do your homework before reposting your question.

For the libraries issue: This forum can't replace basic Java training.
