Hi folks
I'm having a wee problem linking to external jar files.

My mf file looks like this:

Manifest-Version: 1.0
Ant-Version: Apache Ant 1.6.5
Created-By: 1.5.0_05-b05 (Sun Microsystems Inc.)
Main-Class: Main
Class-Path: jdom.jar mysql-connector-java-3.1.12-bin.jar

I run the app using this:

java -jar -cp ./ ./webadmin/dist/lib/webadmin.jar

A local command:
bash-3.00$ file mysql-connector-java-3.1.12-bin.jar jdom.jar
mysql-connector-java-3.1.12-bin.jar:\
Zip archive data, at least v1.0 to
extract jdom.jar: \
Zip archive data, at least
v1.0 to extract

the result is:
Starting up
Loading XML
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError:\
org/jdom/input/SAXBuilder
at Parameters.load(Unknown Source)
at Main.main(Unknown Source)

I have twiddled with things to reverse the calling order of jdom & the
mysql stuff but the same error comes up with the different jar.

What have I done to make this so difficult?

Thanks for your time.

just because something is in the manifest , does not make it on the class
path.

just for a test , try a full class-path, instead of trying a "local" , I.E
the full directory path from root.
