Jre/lib/rt.jar does not exist - But I have it installed

Hi!

I try to run a game I had made, but it won’t start.

It says it mssing jre/lib/rt.jar, but when I check, it exist. How can I solve this?

I’d first try to bypass that Launcher and see if I can get it to work using the usual java -jar MyGame.jar (but you may still need the ugly -cp stuff).

Apart from that there is only one reason why something can’t find a file: Permissions. But even then I don’t know how you could ls them (maybe you can see the folder lib but can’t cat the .jar?)

Or the Launcher sucks in some way.
You can also try which java to see if you have multiple installs or something

Almost.

I don’t know how to add this feature inside my jar.

I would look into the file MyGame to see what it passes to the command line and/or in ant or wherever you created the project.

Just to clarify, you could run the project in your IDE, right? This Process is more of a deploy thing

Yes. I can run the project inside the IDE. But not outside.

The file MyGame gives the result:

hp@hp-HP-Z400-Workstation:~/Dokumenter/jMonkey/CarGame2/dist/MyGame$ ./MyGame
$JAVA_HOME is set but $JAVA_HOME/jre/lib/rt.jar does not exist. Look elsewhere.

I mean what’s the code of MyGame, somewhere it should also only run java -jar like the above somehow.
Or see what your IDE actually runs

Now it’s working. I thougth it was the jar file inside the .zip files.

But it was another jar file inside the dist folder.
