Hey,
I didn't notice at once that you want to include the thirdparty .jars
within your own .jar. Unfortunately, I don't know what to do in that
case or if the manifest is required at all.
However, here's the answer to your question and what to do if you're
content with having the jars externally:
Open the .jar you created in any program capable of handling .zip
archives and look for a folder "META-INF" inside, which should contain a
"MANIFEST.MF" file which you can process with a text editor.
(If it doesn't exist, this does not make your .jar invalid, to my
knowledge the manifest is optional. This could be related to your
problem, though)
Within, you will find something like:
===QUOTE===
Manifest-Version: 1.0
Ant-Version: Apache Ant 1.6.5
Created-By: 1.5.0_06-b05 (Sun Microsystems Inc.)
Built-By: Urs Reupke
Main-Class: net.sf.anathema.Anathema
Class-Path: ./lib/batik-awt-util.jar ./lib/batik-bridge.jar
./lib/batik-css.jar ./lib/batik-dom.jar ./lib/batik-ext.jar ./lib/bat
ik-gvt.jar
==UNQUOTE==
The "Class-Path" entry specifies where the thirdparty .jars should be
found - in this case, assuming that my application's .jar lies in the
current working directory ".", they are expected in a subfolder "./lib"
Note that this folder "./lib" is not within the .jar of my application
but in the filesystem itself.
For further reference, you might want to consult Sun's Tutorial Path on
jarring with java.[1]

Hi John,
Have you checked your jar's manifest declaration?
Maybe one of the batik files has changed it's name since the last
version you distributed?

Hi
I already do. There are 20 jar files in that folder, and I include all of
them in my project. But somehow I don't think they are packaged along with
my application when I build it into a jar file.
Anyone?

I want to use Batik to convert SVG files into PNG and PDF's. This
works great when I run the project in Netbeans, but how do I build and
distribute it? I've tried to add all the 20 jar files to the project
jar file, but it doesn't help. I get errors like "Exception in thread
'main' java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError:
org/apache/fop/svg/PDFTranscoder".
You need to include pdf-transcoder jar as well, it found on trunk/lib
directory
