By this, do you mean that you double-click on the entry for the JAR in the
explorer view?
I get the "could not find the main class. Program will
exit" message. ( the program runs within the IDE with no problem )
Did you set up a 'Main-Class' in the manifest?
If javac works from the command line with no problems, why is this
happening ?
You were discussing a run-time problem. What is the difficulty with javac?
How are you invoking javac?
Whether javac works, "from the command line" or otherwise, has nothing to do
with whether your JAR is set up correctly.
What do I need to do to the environment variables to sort this out.
Assuming that is a question, probably nothing.
The PATH looks like this at the moment
%SystemRoot%\system32;%SystemRoot%;%SystemRoot%\System32\Wbem;C:\Program
Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_03\bin\;C:\Program
Files\Hummingbird\Connectivity\7.10\Accessories\;C:\Program
Files\Microsoft SQL Server\90\Tools\bin\
Is there a message that you get about not being able to find an executable?
If not, your PATH is likely not related to the problem.
What are the contents of the JAR's manifest?
