Alright, here's what's confusing me:
I've been messing around with some simple coding using Netbeans to compile and run some java programs, now that I've gotten a hang of it, I tried building a jar file and opening it outside of Netbeans, but I was smacked in the face by this error:
Error: Could not find or load main class C:\Users\n\Desktop\DirectoryLi
st_1\DirectoryList_1\build\classes\directorylist\DirectoryList_1.jar
What I'm unsure of is how/why this is happening as I can run the program, which produces a textfile with some info in it, completely fine when I'm running it in Netbeans, what's being excluded? What went wrong?
Here's the log from compiling the jar:
Thanks for the help!
