Jar file wont run

I cant get my jar file to run, It works fine running in NetBeans, and it Builds with no problems, When i try to run the jar file from the dist/game.jar, it will show my splash screen then that is it, AND, when i Zip the contents of my dist Folder, and run the jar while it is still zipped, I get a runtime exception,I dont really know what needs to be posted so i am posting this build.xml

and this Manifest

Manifest-Version: 1.0
Ant-Version: Apache Ant 1.8.3
Created-By: 1.7.0_09-b05 (Oracle Corporation)
Class-Path: lib/jinput.jar lib/lwjgl.jar lib/lwjgl_util.jar lib/slick-
 util.jar lib/slick.jar
Main-Class: co.thenewparadigm.supaFool.runner.game.Game
SplashScreen-Image: META-INF/supagamewdiamonds.png


Any help would be AWESOME :), Im Using lwjgl, and slick if that matters

Post the exception please! If you don’t know how to get it, trying running the jar via the command line.

I’m not sure about your other problem, but if your game needs to load resources, I doubt it will be able to extract them from the ZIP file unless you wrote something special for that. Why would you want to run a jar from a ZIP file?

lol i was just troubleshooting i knew it wouldn’t work, i added the res folder to the zip BTW, But i was just wanting to see if it would make it to the main method, and it doesn’t, i still have a lot of time to mess with it, i did try deleting the manifest, and build files, but it still wont make it past the Splash Screen. It doesn’t throw any exceptions, just doesn’t do anything.Thanks for answering though :slight_smile:
