i have a project and i am trying to make it to jar files so i can run it from anywhere. problem is that i am trying for 3 weeks and its not working for me. i tried look up online but nothing works.

if i send you my project can some one plz make it to runable jar file? i cant attach my project here bc it too large. let me know if you can help me out and i can email you the project.

thanks

i am using eclipse. and my project folder look like this:
test.jpg
under image folder i have 3 more folder. and in them i have different images.

i added a manifest.txt files
manifest.txt

main-class: Main

than i open windows cmd and went under my folder:
//jar cfvm "jar file" "manifest.txt" "all class file" "all folders"

C:\Users\dave\My Software\workspace\2D Game 0\src> jar cfvm test.jar Manifest.txt Background.class Enemy_1.class Enemy.class Ground.class Item_0_Background.class Item_1_Fast.class Item_2_Slow.class Item.class Main.class Platform.class Player.class Score.class Shoot.class Sprite_Sheet.class  image music

than this create a test.jar file. when i click on nothing happen and doesnt open.

error: could not find or load main class Main

i used the command

jar tvf test.jar

and i only see the images and music no .class files

but i used this command:
jar cfvm ...

i added all the .class files. not sure why it didnt add them.

1: Is there not an option in Eclipse to export jars by right-clicking your project, and selecting export, and using the export wizard?

2. The error you got was a little odd, are you sure you exported the WHOLE project?

#Searching C:\Users\dave\My Software\workspace\2D GAME 0\bin\test1.jar for Background
Background

# Found 1 classes.


it have all of my class. also it have a extra file name "META-INF/MANIFEST.MF" is that the problem?

#Searching C:\Users\dave\My Software\workspace\2D GAME 0\bin\test1.jar for image/background/background.png
image/background/background.png >>>> class NOT found! <<<<

# Found 1 classes. 1 NOT found.

its a image and it say no found is that ok? bc its a image and not a class.


also i enter in cmd:
start META-INF/MANIFEST.MF
and it say:
windows cantnot find 'META-INF/MANIFEST.MF'. make sure you typed the name correctly

if i click on "classpath" radio button. and enter "Background.class" in class name than:
