It runs fine in processing but despite having the most current Java installed, it will not run either as a .jar file or the .exe file. How do I fix it.

kfrajer

Please edit your post, select your code and hit ctrl+o to format your code. Make sure there is an empty line above and below your code

it will not run either as a .jar file or the .exe file

If you click in the exe files, what does it do? Are you using external resources? What options did you click in the export window?

Have you tried exporting simple applications? Do they work or do they have the same issues?

Thank you for your reply kfrajer.

Nothing at all happens when I click .exe. No I am not using external resources. tired all the options. First time, choose Presentation, stop button and embed java. Next time, did not choose presentation but stop button and embed java. Next time, Presentation, stop button and don't embed java. Next time no presentation, no stop button and dont embed java. Next time everything but embed java. I have the latest Java installed.

Will try a simple application.

horseygym

Exporting a simple application worked. I choose not to go full screen and to embed java. Will try breaking down code to find out which part is causing problem. This is my first serious attempt at programming. So thank you for your help. Trying to do something that my husband has been wanting to get up and running for his Physics students.

horseygym

When I export using a simple application, none of the pictures are shown.

horseygym

I have uploaded these images because of a thread I read. Hopefully, this might make it easier for someone to help with my problem

kfrajer

Great, you did good troubleshooting. It seems the problem is accessing the images when you export your application.

Are your images in the data folder?

Also from this post: https://forum.processing.org/two/discussion/20791/problem-export/p1 , add import java.*;

Maybe remove your main: https://github.com/processing/processing/wiki/Export-Info-and-Tips

kfrajer, you are a genius. I did not understand what people were meaning when they said to put the images in the data folder. For those newbies/dumbells like me - you need to put the images in the same folder as the executable file. Once I did that it worked like a charm. Physics students you have a new simulation assignment heading your way.

koogs

you need to put the images in the same folder as the executable file

I don't think this is true. In a folder called data under the sketch folder is more usual. There's an 'add file' option in the menu that will do this for you.

kfrajer

@horseygym Thanks for sharing your answer

@koogs When you export the application, the data folder is packed together or you just have to tag it along with your resources? In another post, @KevingWorkman provided details to pack all resources together. The processing's export and tips that I provided didn't touch any of these details. What is the standard practice? Do you know?

In Linux in pretty sure the data folder is in the export as a folder. I'm not 100% sure that it's used though (there could be another copy bundled into a jar somewhere). (a quick tests shows that i can change the image in the data file and the code will use this new image without having to re-export)

Windows is another thing though. (although that looks identical, with a data folder in the exported folder)

(edits: have tested and corrected what i said before)
