Thread: JAR Run Perfect in My Ubuntu 12.04 but not in Windows or Another OS

Hello, this is my first post. I have created an application with Java SWING using Netbeans 7.1.2. in Ubuntu 12.04. Actually all finished, and i can run my JAR of my application perfectly in my Ubuntu 12.04 machine (ASUS X44C). The problem comes when:

1) My friend runs that JAR in his Windows 7 in laptop.
2) My another friend runs that in his Ubuntu 12.04 laptop (not mine).

The problem:

Button in my app, should open another frame when clicked. In my Ubuntu, i have tested it and perfectly runs. All buttons work. But in another system, with same JAR file, the buttons made my app disposed only (not open the new frame requested). But the strange, only one another button works there. That button has similiar code with the didn't work one.

Diagnosys:

I don't know why but my code for the button didn't work is:

private void btPemulaActionPerformed(java.awt.event.ActionEvent evt) {                                         
        if(btPemula.isEnabled()==true){
        this.dispose();
        new JendelaOtodidak().setVisible(true);
        }
}

The button codes that work is:

private void btTentangActionPerformed(java.awt.event.ActionEvent evt) {                                          
        if(btTentang.isEnabled()==true){
        new TentangOtodidak().setVisible(true);}
    }
}

and the only difference between them is this.dispose() code. Maybe it is the problem (I don't know because I made it only by Matisse).

My question:

What's wrong? What should I do so my JAR can run perfectly in Linux and Windows? Thank you. I am sorry I'm newbie.

Dispose will usually do what you tell it to do by calling the setDefaultCloseOperation(...) on your JFrame with proper parameter, which I think for you will be (JFrame.DISPOSE_ON_CLOSE.

Regardless -- it's generally not a good program design to fling multiple windows at your user. Better to swap the *views* on a single window using a CardLayout. If your main window must show sub windows, use a dialog such as a JDialog or JOptionPane.

Oooh, so I should use single window? Yes, actually I want to do that because I wanna make my application is like Windows Application Installer, we can click next-next-finish. I think such application can be created with many frames, so I do that. Now my app has more than 30+ frames, all JFrame. I don't know exactly how to make just single frame then the contents can be changed dinamically (it seems like Ubiquity Linux Installer). If I know, I will do that.

Any suggestion or links? But thank you so much for kind reply

My tester have captured my app in Linux Mint 14 Nadia and get this error message:

Exception in thread "AWT-EventQueue-0" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/netbeans/lib/awtextra/AbsoluteLayout

SOLVED! Thank you.

The only one problem is AbsoluteLayout.jar is not included within my app's JAR. The solution is (via Netbeans):

1) Create new package named org.netbeans.lib.awtextra within project.
2) Just copy-paste AbsoluteLayout.class and AbsoluteConstraints.class from org.netbeans.lib.awtextra in the bottom of it to that package. Look at your left side of Netbeans.
3) Build and Clean again.
4) Done, perfectly.

And my conclusion is we need to add new package of AbsoluteLayout within our project if our project has used AbsluteLayout. Alhamdulillah, all praises to Allah. All done. Thank you
