java -jar display

[mike lancaster]

Hi All,

I am new to Java and to the java-devel mailing list.

I am running NetBeans 6.9.1 on Fedora 14.
I am able to create a project in NetBeans and run it successfully.
When I run it from the command line it runs without error but does not
display the GUI.
I am able to run xclock without a problem.

I am not sure what I am missing?
My goal is to have the Java App listed under the Applications tab in the
Fedora Desktop.

Any help would be appreciated.

Regards,

Mike

Welcome to Java land!

What command line are you trying?

Mike,

If you intend your app to run with "Java -jar appname.jar" you need to
be 100% sure that the default class is specified in the Manifest file.
