Java beginner here.
I made a small java app in Eclipse (on Windows), using the LWJGL lib and Slick. Then when I export is as an executable .jar file, and run the resulting .jar, it doesn't do anything. No errors, no nothing - just doesn't seem to run. I am following this tutorial : http://www.cs.bsu.edu/homepages/pvg/misc/slick_eclipse_tutorial.php
Here's what my manifest.mf file looks like :
Manifest-Version: 1.0
Main-Class: SimpleTest
Class-Path: lib/lwjgl.jar lib/slick.jar
Apps that don't use LWJGL export just fine. What am I doing wrong ?
I tried using JarSplice, which didn't work, though I might be misusing it. Any pointers ?
My best bet is that you missed to reference your Main-class
in the manifest
-file.
Have a look at this it shows how to set up your manifest
-file correctly.
Have Fun!
EDIT:
Manifest-Version: 1.0
Main-Class: SimpleTest
Class-Path: lib/lwjgl.jar lib/slick.jar

EDIT 2:
OK, I was able to reproduce this behavior. As I tried to run the exported jar via console I've got the following exception:
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.reflect.InvocationTargetException
...
Caused by: java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: no lwjgl in java.library.path
...
... 5 more
After doing some researches I found out that it is hardly possible to package native dll's to an executable jar.
To clarify, I've found three options:
Hope this solved your problem. Cheers!
