Why official Spring RCP examples NOT work?

[a_subscriber]

after I download spring rcp in the folder spring-richclient-1.1.0\samples\
I find some jars with official examples.
But when I try start one of them:
java -jar spring-richclient-samples-showcase-1.1.0.jar

I get the next error:

when I try another example jar
java -jar spring-richclient-samples-dataeditor-1.1.0.jar

I get the another error:

Failed to load Main-Class manifest attribute from
spring-richclient-samples-dataeditor-1.1.0.jar

Why official examples NOT work?

For some samples, the self-runnable jar isn't built correctly. However, if you run the samples from any IDE, they will work correctly. Correcting the samples is on the shortlist.

Hi,

Please note that the error thrown for this jar file is because it cannot find the library file nacho calendar which is used by this showcase project to bind datepicker and calendar.

Please visit this link http://sourceforge.net/projects/nach...nachocalendar/ to download the nacho calendar library and then set the library path in the showcase.jar file META-INF.MF file.

then run the project you can see the output.

Thanks

Hi,

spring-richclient-samples-dataeditor-1.1.0.jar this jar file is getting worked for me too, because its META-INF.MF file does not contain any Main-Class attribute in it.

even if i open that META-INF.MF and re-edit that too it throws META-INF file got corrupt. Might be in the IDE's they will work

Thanks

You can find the Source code by downloading Spring rich client plugin for any IDE, i used netbeans as my IDE. just download the plugin spring RCP for netbeans http://plugins.netbeans.org/data/nbm...ingRCP-1.5.zip
