So... noob question. The "Created-by" attribute in the MANIFEST.MF file (and other attributes). They aren't meant for editing? E.g. putting my own name in there rather than Sun or Oracle? |

hmm, I don't seem to have any MANIFEST.MF at hand |
| 12:54 |

aditsu |
digging into some executable jars.. |

looks like it just shows which version of the JDK created it: https://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/deployment/jar/defman.html |
| 14:20 |
|
aditsu |
mr_lou: Created-By: Defines the version and the vendor of the java implementation on top of which this manifest file is generated. This attribute is generated by the jar tool. |
| 14:21 |
|
aditsu |
but apparently you can add any custom attributes you want |
| 14:23 |
|
mr_lou |
Right |
| 15:05 |
|
mr_lou |
I think my MANIFEST.MF is created wrong though. |
| 15:05 |
|
mr_lou |
Because it adds a "Class-path" attribute with the value "lib/BDJ.jar" |
| 15:06 |
|
mr_lou |
That's the classfiles I'm coding for. I.e. the ones that are present on the hardware device my JAR will be running on. It's not the name of my JAR. |
| 15:11 |
|
pdurbin |
mr_lou: ok. What problem are you trying to solve? Or are you just curious about what gets put into the manifest file? |
| 15:12 |
|
mr_lou |
Well there's no problem. Everything runs fine and works fine. |
| 15:12 |
|
mr_lou |
It just annoys me a bit. :-) |
| 15:12 |
|
mr_lou |
I suppose I could just manually remove the line. |
| 15:19 |
|
pdurbin |
ah, well, I suffer from a touch of OCD too ;) |
| 15:26 |
|
mr_lou |
Don't think this qualifies as OCD. |
| 15:26 |
|
mr_lou |

mr_lou: if your code needs BDJ.jar to work, then removing that attribute might break it |
| 18:07 |
|
mr_lou |
That's just it aditsu. It doesn't need it. What BDJ.jar is, is just the class files that exists on the platform MY jar will run on. |
| 18:07 |
|
mr_lou |
That's why I don't need/want any references to it. |
| 18:08 |
|
mr_lou |
This is JavaME. |
| 18:09 |
|
aditsu |
if you don't need it, then you can remove the attribute |
| 18:11 |
|
mr_lou |
Yes |
| 18:12 |
|
mr_lou |
Will do. |
| 18:12 |
|
mr_lou |
Would just have been nice if I could somehow tell the jar tool (or NetBeans) that it shouldn't add it. |
| 18:12 |
|
mr_lou |
But it doesn't seem so. |
| 18:12 |
|
mr_lou |
Tried adding this BDJ.jar library in various ways now, but it still does the same in the manifest.mf file. |
| 18:14 |

suspects he might finish his huge project this year. |
| 18:19 |
|
mr_lou |
Then I will celebrate for a week straight. |
| 18:19 |
|
mr_lou |
...maybe two weeks. |
| 18:23 |
|
aditsu |
why are you adding it? |
| 18:24 |
|
aditsu |
also, I usually build my jars with ant, and I specify exactly what to put in them |
| 18:41 |
|
mr_lou |
I need to add it. It's like if you develop for MIDP2.0 CLDC1.0 then the compiler needs MIDP2.jar and CLDC1.jar in order to be able to compile. |
| 18:41 |
|
mr_lou |
I am developing for Blu-ray players, so I need BDJ.jar in order to be able to compile. |
| 18:42 |
|
mr_lou |
But it's not to be included. |
| 18:42 |
|
mr_lou |
Maybe library is a wrong term to use. |
| 18:46 |
|
aditsu |
so you need it at build time but not at runtime |
| 18:48 |
|
pdurbin |
mr_lou: that's cool that you may finish your project this year |
| 19:16 |
|
mr_lou |
aditsu, Yes |
| 19:17 |
|
mr_lou |
pdurbin, Very much so. :-) |
| 19:22 |
|
mr_lou |
Gotta put up some kind of reminder in the house somewhere, to remind me never to start up a project of this size again. |
| 19:22 |
|
mr_lou |
5 years in the making.... :-/ |
| 19:23 |
|
mr_lou |
Well, could have gone faster if I didn't have a job and family that need my time too. |
| 19:23 |
|
mr_lou |
But still. |
| 19:23 |
|
aditsu |
wat |
| 19:24 |
|
mr_lou |
Not to mention all the stuff I had to buy to realize the vision. |
| 20:05 |
|
mr_lou |
Alright. Bedtime. |
| 20:05 |
|
mr_lou |
G'nite. |
