| 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 "httpserv.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, none of the |
| classpath elements are copied to the lib folder. In such a case, |
| you need to copy the classpath elements to the lib folder manually after the build. |
| * 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. |
