how to create stand alone applications with forte or jbuilder?

[jsn]

Hi

I have created an application in forte CE and jbuilder personal edition run it and create the rpoject.

How can I create a stand alone version now ?

thanks

What do you mean by "stand alone"? Do you just want to build a .jar file or do you want a .app?

For making double-clickable .jar files take a look at this:

Then, if you know how to jar (double-clickable or otherwise) it's even easier to use MRJ App Builder (or something like that) in /Developer/Applications to make a "native" Mac OS X app.

Hi

by stand-alone I mean an application that I can run without the IDE jbuilder or forte.

I read the page and try to create a jar file as indicated but I have an error "java.io.IOException: invalid header field:.

Let me show you a copy paste, I tried it in my work with a PC :

I think your problem is here:

mainClass:hola.ApplicationHola

make a space behind the colon, that shoud do it, I think.

Well, actually the manifest should read:

<b>Main-Class: hola.ApplicationHola</b>

That should do it.
