Re: [platform-swt-dev] desperate : NoClassDefFoundError on Composite

[Sam Detweiler <sdetweil@xxxxxxxxxx>]

did you copy/include swt.jar and the dll supporting swt.jar to the
classpath and path?

I did this very thing a month ago.

I have eventually convinced my bosses that Java is the way to go, got a
nice project, wrote it using SWT and everything's fine.... untill now:

I need to make the app "stand allone", in other words, not run from the
Eclipse IDE.  So my classes are all in the default package (root) except
for one or two utillity classes.  All my jars, including swt.jar, is in lib
and all the required dll's also lies in the root of the project.

So, I jar'd the root of the project and now I'm trying to run the app from
it.  So remember all the classes, jar's and dll's are contained whithin the
new jar.

I get the following error when trying to run the app from the jar...

My main class extends org.eclipse.swt.widgets.Composite and I made the jar
runnable (manifest entry).
