Hi,

I have created a JForexSDK project as an Apache Maven project in the NetBeans IDE.

All is working as it should while running the project from within the IDE.

I am attempting to deploy the project using an executable jar file.

After doing a clean and build the Manifest file has no main class or library dependencies.

Is any additional coding required in the pom.xml file to accomplish this?

Any help would be appreciated.

Regards

Mark

Hi Support,

I have made a little progress,

I added the following to the pom.xls file,
---------------------------
<plugin>
<artifactId>maven-assembly-plugin</artifactId>
<configuration>
<archive>
<manifest>
<addClasspath>true</addClasspath>
<mainClass>utils.Main_Form</mainClass>
<addDefaultImplementationEntries>true</addDefaultImplementationEntries>
<addDefaultSpecificationEntries>true</addDefaultSpecificationEntries>
</manifest>
</archive>
<descriptorRefs>
<descriptorRefs>JForex-SDK-2.24</descriptorRefs>
</descriptorRefs>
</configuration>
</plugin>
<plugin>

<artifactId>maven-jar-plugin</artifactId>

<configuration>

<manifest>

<mainClass>utils.Main_Form</mainClass>
<addDefaultImplementationEntries>true</addDefaultImplementationEntries>
<addDefaultSpecificationEntries>true</addDefaultSpecificationEntries>
</manifest>
</archive>
</configuration>
</plugin>
--------------------------------------
The Manifest file now reads,

Manifest-Version: 1.0

The main form is now launched when I double click on the executable Jar file but nothing else works.

Previously when building projects for deployment with netbeans a dist folder was created containing the executable jar file and a lib folder containing all the library files.

I’m not sure what is meant to happen when deploying the maven project?

Hi All,

I added the following to the pom file. This seems to work.

I now have an executable jar file which includes all the dependencies for deployment.

Still testing but so far so good.

Mark
