    Hi

    Im having a small problem creating an executable jar file. I have an application which connects to a MySQL databse, and I have the MySQL-Connector/J library installed and all classpaths setup. I can compile and run my application as a java class file, but when I try to make it into an executable jar, I get an error thats thrown when the database class driver could not be loaded. I have tried including the MySQL connector/J file in my jar file, and setup the manifest,mf file.

    Anyone here have any ideas??

    Thanks

    When you run it as a jar the mysql jar has to be on the classpath also.

    Don't include it (mysql jar) in your jar at all.

    You could just put the contents of the Connector/J jar into the new jar file, rather than the jar itself. I don't use executable jars at all, so other than that I don't know.

    We have this done tho. When we type in 'java Programname' it works, but when we try to execute it as a jar, it wont work.
