Export

[nemamradfazole]

I have LWJGL running in Eclipse, also a project there... and I want to export it (as .jar or something like that), so I can send it to other people and they can try running it without having to install LWJGL. How could I do that?

So I think I've made it. MyFile.jar should contain all the standard stuff (*.class and main-class manifest) plus *.class from LWJGL (which can be set under project's Properties > Java Build Path > Order and Export > added and checked lwjgl.jar and lwjgl_util.jar). Then when I run it (in this case it's Linux), it looks like

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:DirectoryWithNativeFiles && java -jar MyFile.jar

where DirectoryWithNativeFiles is a directory where *.so (or probably *.dll in Windows) were put. It can be even "." (just dot) if it's the actual directory, but it has to be put that way (-Djava.library.path=DirectoryWithNativeFiles doesn't work for me)!

hmm, looks like your going about it all wrong.

have a look at this example on how you can distribute your game and run it using batch files (.bat on windows, .sh on mac/linux).

alternatively you can use java web start or applet to distribute your application.

Creating a fat JAR is a bad idea. Don't include the content of other JAR files in your JAR - use the class path attribute in your manifest file or the resource tags in the JNLP file.
