Hi all!
Happily working my way through Java 1.4 Game Programming when i hit a stump. The book describes methods to create a .jar file with command line entry and run it with an HTML file, however I have been following along using Eclipse.
This is the java class.
package game.programming.tutorial;
import java.awt.*;
import javax.swing.*;
public class MyApplet extends JApplet
{
public void init()
{
setSize(400, 300);
}
public void start()
{
}
public void paint(Graphics g)
{
g.drawString("Text to Screen", 20, 20);
}
public void stop()
{
}
public void destroy()
{
}
}
This is the HTML file.
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE>Applet JAR Example</TITLE>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
<CENTER><B>Applet JAR Example</B>
<APPLET CODE="MyApplet.class" ARCHIVE="MyApplet.jar"
WIDTH=400
HEIGHT=300>
</APPLET>
</CENTER>
</BODY>
</HTML>
When I export from eclipse I do the following…
-Right click class(context: Export)
-Select JAR file.
Next
-Resources to export (MyApplet.java is the only one ticked)
-Export generated class files and resources ticked
-compress the contents of the JAR file ticked
Next
-Export class errors ticked
-Export class warnings ticked
Next
-Generate the Manifest ticked
-Seal some packages ticked
Finish
At this point I have a folder on my desktop “AppletTest”
This contains,
AppletTest.html
MyApplet.jar
Double clicking the html file loads in my web browser as expected however the applet window just states,
Error: click for details, which show nothing upon clicking.
Any help would be much appreciated,
Thank You.
