Exporting to executable jar from Eclipse

stillElated · April 2014

I have a processing application that compiles and runs fine inside of Eclipse, but I need to export it to an executable. When I do this via Eclipse's export wizard, it produces a jar, but that jar produces runtime errors when it's double clicked or called from the command line. First it was giving me this:

C:\Users\Rachel\School\MQP>java -jar Simworm14.jar

So I tried pasting gluegen-rt.dll into the given directory, and then it gave me this error instead:

C:\Users\Rachel\School\MQP>java -jar Simworm14.jar

After some googling, it appears this dependency issue might be a bug with jogl: https://java.net/jira/browse/JOGL-346 but I find it hard to believe that nobody has been able to export any processing applications from Eclipse. There's got to be a way, hasn't there?

Any suggestions?

This is because Processing requires native libraries that have to be specified before runtime.

You can use a tool I created called SvgExe to create a self-extracting runnable jar that handles that part for you: http://StaticVoidGames.com/SvgExe/

Howdy, Stranger!
