So I go ahead and try adding the classpath to the MANIFEST like this:
<attribute name="Class-Path" value="C:/AntStage/lib/quartz-1.7.3.jar"/>
and now it cant find the main-class !!! I tried adding "." to the classpath like this:
<attribute name="Class-Path" value=".;C:/AntStage/lib/quartz-1.7.3.jar"/>
But then it could not find the quartz classes!
it's like it will only take one classpath.
for now, This is working:
java -classpath C:\AntStage\lib\MyReports.jar;C:\AntStage\lib\quartz-1.7.3.jar;C:\AntStage\lib\commons-logging-1.1.jar com.x.scheduler.ReportScheduler
but that seems to defeat the point of an executable jar....
