i made a program but when other people and myself(another Computer) downloaded it i got this error,
i coded this program using eclipse and exported it into a jar file using eclipse, i even picked class1 as the main class. does anyone know what would be causing this error, The program works perfectly fine on the computer i coded it on.

Okay. Can you show me the program header? public class [class_name] and can you say waht is the original program name? Something like this:

My program name is ProgramName, and code is:

public class ProgramName {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
    
    }
}

Your class and program name should be uppercase.

JFrame Main Class

public class Class1 {
	public static void main(String[] args){
		

SecondClass/Gui

public class MainClass extends JFrame {

Program Name is: MessageBox Creator

So for my jframe/mainclass

Change Class1 To MessageBox Creator?

[Faitas]

No, you can change your Class1 to MessageBoxCreator, and main file name MessageBoxCreator.

A public class has a name ("Name"), and it must be contained in a file called "Name.java".

For example

public class Foo {
}

must appear in a file called Foo.java

For the moment, take it as given that your class name and file name must align in this way to run. So if you have a public class called Class1, it must be in a file called Class1.java. (but you really should use a name that describes the purpose of the class, never something like "Class1")

To start a Java program, you have to call a class which has a main method. If class Foo does not have a main method, then

>java Foo

will exit with an error.

I'm not sure exactly what it is you're trying to do, but it's going to be pretty difficult to sort out your code if all we have are class headers.

public class MainClass extends JFrame {
	
	
		private JButton saveButton;
		private TextArea textArea = new TextArea("msgbox(\"text\"),16,(\"tile\")", 3,50, TextArea.SCROLLBARS_VERTICAL_ONLY);
				

		public MainClass(){

}

import javax.swing.JFrame;

public class MessageBoxCreator {
	public static void main(String[] args){
		
		MainClass creationFrame = new MainClass();
		creationFrame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
		creationFrame.setSize(400,143);
		creationFrame.setVisible(true);
	}

}

I'm Exporting The Jar File As MessageBoxCreator
And Choosing The Main Class As, MessageBoxCreator.

I DON'T UNDERSTAND!!!!!!!!!!!!

Any Suggestions Now?

Yeah. Compile it and run it.

> javac MessageBoxCreator.java
> javac MessageBoxCreator


Opens a window with some text in it.

Were you trying to run MainClass?

No, it works perfect on my computer, but i posted it in share projects and no one can open it, i cant even open it on my laptop(another computer)?

[jon.kiparsky]

So the problem is that you're trying to create a jar, and it's not working?


Read this and see if that helps.

That didn't Help.

[jon.kiparsky]

I posted it three minutes ago. You haven't read it yet.

I'm going to go drink beer and play music. I think you'll probably be able to create an executable jar from clear instructions, and you have clear instructions, so I think I'm not needed here.

I'm honestly reading these, But I'm not understanding this at all.
I went from not being able to open a jar file that is already created to getting links about making jar files?
