My Problem is: I have built the swing one-jar application(which contains boot package, main/main.jar(my application) and lib/*.jar(database jar and some external jars) and images folder). Bundling all jars into a single JAR (Source: http://www-128.ibm.com/developerworks/java/library/j-onejar/) ..
It is working fine when I double click the jar(myap.jar), but if I try to run from web start (using myApp.jnlp), It is loading boot startup package and after that...it is unable to load other jars inside a single jar...ends with :: classNotFound exception(my application package jars not loading - i.e main.jar ). I red some java forums, which they are suggesting to use dynamic jar loading mechanism from boot start-up files(URLClassLoader instead of JarClassLoader)., Can any one please help me..!
I got one-jar(bundling all jars in a single jar) solution from :http://one-jar.sourceforge.net/
