Thread: Export to jar..

Hi guys. So me again need help So i create a snake game. Ant this game have more than 1 class. So i need this thing export to jar.. So i have question:
1.Do i have insert to public static void main(String[]args) method to somewhere class?
2.How to export to jar with more than 1 class..

Thanks for help
And again, if I must insert main method in somewhere class, so which class?

Thanks for help P.S snake in eclipse works perfectly

Refer to this tutorial. There are considerations when using Eclipse's export to jar feature that you have to be aware of and learn to do correctly. For that reason, many recommend using the command line to create .jars. If you ignore that advice, then be sure to test the jar Eclipse creates outside Eclipse, on other platforms if possible, before distributing it widely.

Its not help..

What don't you understand? What do you need help with?

Considering your original questions:

main() method required? - Since your application appears to be an Applet, you should refer to Deploying an Applet.

export multiple classes to .jar? - As one project or individually. This topic was covered specifically in the subsequent pages of the link I provided. That it was of no help to you suggests you either didn't read it or didn't understand it. We need to know which is the case to provide you with further help.

Yes, you right.. I dont understeand, where write code: jar cvf Snake.jar snakeCanvas.class snakeApplet.class TyleType.class Direction.class

Are you saying you don't know where to type/execute that command? If so, are you familiar with opening a CMD window and using a command prompt in your operating system (OS)? What OS are you using?

If that's not what you meant to say, then please try to state what you're asking more clearly.

Sorry me for stupid question. Java is so big. So i learn how much can... My OS windows xp.. Last question. I understeand, applet is only for web yes? So if i wanna this snake play like desktop aplication, its must be JFrame?

Thanks for patience

Not stupid questions. There's a challenge with communicating, but you're doing fine.

Sharing your game with others would be less risky if you were to add code that allows it to appear in a JFrame. You can leave the Applet features and add a main() method that will give the option to run as a Java desktop app. First try to do that, but if you'd like help with it, let us know.

I may have asked this a long time ago, but why are you using the older Applet class instead of JApplet?

Thanks all for help GregBrannon, i dunno

The graphics in your program are very jerky on my system, or flashing in and out. Studying your code, I see you've done most of the things we advised you not to do when you asked us for advice on this project:

Overriding the paint() method
Using Applet rather than JApplet
(Using AWT rather than Swing)
Animating with a while(true) loop rather than a Timer

You can say, "But my way works," and I would answer, "Not very well." I don't remember what you were building this application for, but if you have the time and desire to continue to learn from this project, I suggest you take the time and incorporate the advice you were given. It'll be a worthwhile experience, and you should benefit from it.

--- Update ---

This is an outline of a simple class that could be used to run an application either as an applet in a web page (or applet viewer) or as a Java application on the EDT:

// a class to run the snake game either as a
// JApplet or as a Java application
public class SnakeJApplet extends JApplet
{
    public void init()
    {
        // add contenct
 
        setSize(new Dimension(400,400));
 
    } // end method init()
 
    // a main() method to run the game as application
    // on the EDT
    public static void main( String[] args )
    {
        SwingUtilities.invokeLater( new Runnable()
        {
            @Override
            public void run()
            {
                // initialize the JFrame
 
                // add content
 
                // size it and make it visible
                gameFrame.pack();
                gameFrame.setVisible( true );
 
            } // end method run()
 
        } );
 
    } // end method main()
 
} // end class SnakeJApplet
