| | -BUILD OUTPUT DESCRIPTION |
| | -======================== |
| | - |
| | -When you build an Java application project that has a main class, the IDE |
| | -automatically copies all of the JAR |
| | -files on the projects classpath to your projects dist/lib folder. The IDE |
| | -also adds each of the JAR files to the Class-Path element in the application |
| | -JAR files manifest file (MANIFEST.MF). |
| | - |
| | -To run the project from the command line, go to the dist folder and |
| | -type the following: |
| | - |
| | -java -jar "sales.jar" |
| | - |
| | -To distribute this project, zip up the dist folder (including the lib folder) |
| | -and distribute the ZIP file. |
| | - |
| | -Notes: |
| | - |
| | -* If two JAR files on the project classpath have the same name, only the first |
| | -JAR file is copied to the lib folder. |
| | -* Only JAR files are copied to the lib folder. |
| | -If the classpath contains other types of files or folders, these files (folders) |
| | -are not copied. |
| | -* If a library on the projects classpath also has a Class-Path element |
| | -specified in the manifest,the content of the Class-Path element has to be on |
| | -the projects runtime path. |
| | -* To set a main class in a standard Java project, right-click the project node |
| | -in the Projects window and choose Properties. Then click Run and enter the |
| | -class name in the Main Class field. Alternatively, you can manually type the |
| | -class name in the manifest Main-Class element. |
