I've noticed that PB doesn't seem to generate a manifest file to indicate a .jar archive's main class. try declaring the main class in the jar's manifest, that may help the runtime figure things out. bear with me on HOW to go about doing that... if i remember correctly it's something close to

%> jar cmf TEXTFILE myJar.jar

TEXTFILE should include the line:

Main-Class: theMainClassesName

somethin like that

Thanks to several of you who helped me add some directories to my path for a terminal session. Now, I've got a little trickier situation.

I need to add to my Java classpath, and I'm not working through the terminal.

This is slightly off-topic again, but you see, the situation is that I have a java program called iSQL-Viewer that I use while developing front-end applications to databases in Cocoa. iSQL-Viewer has always worked with a double-click on the jar file. Up until a few days ago, I was using a system that had been upgraded from PB to 10.0 to 10.1 to 10.14 to 10.15 to 10.2 and all Java Swing .jar applications worked perfectly with no tweaking. Recently, I did a clean install of 10.2, and lo and behold, Java is no longer quite as friendly.

In this particular case, the error seems to be happening when the app tries to load a class in the org.xml.sax.* package (which I do not ever recall installing on my old system, but may have). I dutifully downloaded the appropriate .jar file and put it in System/Java/Extensions... and it didn't change anything. I tried launching from the terminal with the XML .jar file passed as part of the -cp parameter, and that didn't work either.

I'm stumped. I don't even seem to have a classpath environment variable set on my system anywhere.

Does anyone have any idea what's going on with my system? This is driving me absolutely bonkers.

As always... Thanks.
Jeff
