worldwind java sdk problem

[research4681]

I try the worldwind.jar under the release directory,
but it shows that
failed to load Main-class manifest attribute from the worldwind.jar
what's the problem?
thanks

Reinstall World Wind...

Actually.. they had some glitches come in and there should be another re-re-release today sometime.

the current two pre-built, double-clickable jars, worldwind.jar and BasicDemo.jar, have a manifest file that doesn't reference all that's needed to run when double clicked (namely Class-Path and Main-Class). you can still build the source and run worldwinddemos.BasicDemo.

not as easy as double-clicking something, but it is an 0.2 version SDK. it's a relatively easy fix, so hopefully the next ver of the SDK download will have the .jars properly configured.

As of May 11, this is no longer the case. Double-clicking the jar files usually works fine. But that's not the way you should run a World Wind demo. See the FAQ for the correct info.

Awt1up.java runs fine for me in Eclipse.

[research4681]

have you install anything with the eclipse?

Those messages seem to say that you're using a pre-5.0 JDK or have done something to prevent the use of 5.0 features. The latter is an available option in some IDEs. Please make sure you're not instructing Eclipse or the JVM to use only pre-5.0 features, or to not use for-each loops.

Hi,

Make sure the project settings are set to use JDK 5.0. Right-click on the project in the package explorer, and go to "Properties". Find the "Java Compiler" property on the left side of the panel. Make sure the screen looks like the following and then click Apply.

Also, from Eclipse's Window -> Preferences.. make sure you have a JRE 1.5 or greater checked:

Awt1up.java runs fine for me in Eclipse. Try in this page and follow the steps carefully http://www.worldwindcentral.com/wiki/WWJava_in_Eclipse

Download the source code from sourceforge.net as they say.

I hope this can help you.
