Exporting my app to a jar file
This seems like it must be a pretty elementary question, but what do I need
to do to make a runnable jar file out of my app? I'm using Eclipse, where
my app runs fine. I tried doing Export | Runnable JAR file, but when I run
it, it dies while parsing the top-level bxml file, where it fails to find a
file that's included from it. Here's what Java reports:
An error occurred at line number 21 in file
com/fxpal/myunity/DashboardWindow.bxml:
java.net.MalformedURLException: Could not open InputStream for URL
'rsrc:Dashboard.bxml'
at
org.eclipse.jdt.internal.jarinjarloader.RsrcURLConnection.getInputStream(RsrcURLConnection.java:46)

org.apache.pivot.wtk.DesktopApplicationContext$2.run(DesktopApplicationContext.java:594)
at
org.apache.pivot.wtk.ApplicationContext$QueuedCallback.run(ApplicationContext.java:1474)
...
The file it's parsing at the time looks like
<my:DashboardWindow
xmlns:bxml="http://pivot.apache.org/bxml"
xmlns:my="com.fxpal.myunity"
xmlns="org.apache.pivot.wtk">
... some containers inside other containers ...
<bxml:include bxml:id="dashboard" src="Dashboard.bxml" />
... etc ...
You've said that include directives with non-absolute paths are interpreted
relative to the file being parsed. Dashboard.bxml is indeed in the jar file
and in the same directory as DashboardWindow.bxml. The
method DashboardWindow.create looks like this:
public static Window create() throws IOException, SerializationException
{ BXMLSerializer bxmlSerializer = new BXMLSerializer(); return
(DashboardWindow)bxmlSerializer.readObject(DashboardWindow.class,
"DashboardWindow.bxml"); }
What am I missing?

Thanks, that works! I had the other option checked ("Package required
libraries into generated JAR"). It's not at all clear to me why one would
work and the other not. I'm guessing it's because things aren't indirected
thru the eclipse JarRsrcLoader.
Greg, if you're assembling a Pivot tips and tricks document anywhere, you
might want to put this in there.

Friend, inside the eclipse go top
File/Export/Java/Runnable Jar file
Then, select the launch configuration you use for running the app from the
ide,
the export destination is the name of the executable something like
(~/my_app.jar in linux or c:\some_dir\my_app.jar)
.
The most important part is in the "library handling:" section, You MUST
choose "Extract required libraries into generated JAR".
that option will make Eclipse to create one big jar, including your jars
plus the pivot's jar.
hope this will help

Not sure - I usually use Ant to generate JAR files. Never tried it from Eclipse - maybe someone else can offer some insight?

HI!
What is that 'rsrc: in your URL (in the exception)?
I generate jar files from eclipse normally.
Cheers,
