jpackage EA Build 0

[Scott Palmer]

If the main jar is in a subfolder the .cfg file is written incorrectly leading to: 
  
  Error: Could not find or load main class <fully-qualified class name>
  Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: <fully-qualified class name>

Which I only found by manually running:

./MyApp.app/Contents/MacOS/MyApp

as double clicking doesn’t seem to show that output anywhere (I tried to find it in the Console.app output, but didn’t).

In my case the main jar is in a ‘libs’ subfolder.  The image is built correctly, with the subfolder under the ‘Java’ folder in the Mac application bundle.  However, the cfg file had:

  app.mainjar=MyMainJar-1.0.0.jar

instead of:

app.mainjar=libs/MyMainJar-1.0.0.jar


When I manually made that edit, it started to work.
