Trouble creating stand-alone Java applications

[APorovic]

Hello,

I'm having issues creating stand-alone applications using MMF2 Developer version, build 251. I've built .ccj and .ccn, but it won't allow me to create .jar files.

The error message I recieve upon trying to create a standalone Java application is as follows:

Impossible to save the JAR file: the Java version of the following extensions is missing:

Direct Show (DirectShow.mfx)

Install these extensions and then try again

I've tried quite a few different approaches, but I'm really quite stuck. I downloaded the latest Java update, but that didn't help.

Does anyone know have any suggestions about how I can solve this problem? I appreciate any and all help!

I may be wrong, but I believe not all extensions are compatible with the Java runtime.
DirectShow is a Windows-specific technology, so it wouldn't surprise me if it's not useable in Java apps, which are supposed to be platform independent.

It's clearly mentioned as Java version not available and you are building jar that means java mobile I think so direct show is not available for it currently.. Before u create any application select for which platform u r creating so that the proper supported extensions are shown before u create..

DirectShow is not a java compatible extension.

You will need to remove it from your application if you want to make it a Java app.

One tip is to set your Application Build type in advance of starting your project then the extension list is filtered for you to only show extensions you can use.

Thanks for the help everybody. I was trying to convert a game into Java, as I thought/hoped it would be simple to just convert. At least now I know a pitfall of making things for the Java platform!

Are there any other objects in MMF2 I shouldn't use when creating a Java application?

Thanks in advance

Set the application build type before you begin then you can see all the objects you can use on your target platform.

OK. Thank you for all your help :-)
