#35975 — javapackager help

So as best I can tell, if I want to create a JAR file with my JavaFX 
program in it, I have to use javapackager?  I'm having a little 
difficulty.  Could anybody give me an example command line if I have my 
main file is in com/mypackage/MyProgram and another class is in 
com/another/AnClass.

I tried cd to directory above com and:

javapackager -createjar -appclass com.mypackage.MyProgram -srcdir 
com/mypackage -srcfiles *.class -srcdir com/another -srcfiles *.class 
-outdir com/mypackage -outfile MyProgram -v

What I get is:

Exception in thread "main" 
com.sun.javafx.tools.packager.PackagerException: Inva
lid directory C:\Users\Knute Johnson\com\mypackage\com\another\classes
         at com.sun.javafx.tools.packager.Main.main(Main.java:217)


Thanks

I suspect that you would need to use:

javapackager -createjar -appclass com.mypackage.MyProgram -srcdir bin 
-outfile MyProgram -v

to take:

bin/com/mypackage/*.class
bin/com/another/*.class

and create MyProgram.jar.

But why not just create a normal executable jar with a main
class like you have always done.

That approach works for JavaFX as well.

Well because I'm an idiot.  I couldn't get it to work the usual way so I 
thought maybe I should try the javapackager.  I spent way too much time 
fooling with that before I woke up in the middle of the night with the 
epiphany that I had left out the package statement in my program.  My 
only excuse is that I was up for 28 hours and a little rummy after that 
for a couple of days.

So kindly disregard my post :-)
