Error when building a .jar using IntelliJ?

Question

I have a project that runs in the command line which works fine when I run it within IntelliJ. However when I build the .jar and run it from the command line I get the following error:

Error: A JNI error has occurred, please check your installation and try again

I'm trying to run the jar using the command java -jar JarName.jar

Cheers.

This is due to the signed dependencies. When you build JAR file, the signed dependencies are extracted, which causes this issue.

Can you Run --> Edit Configuratios and check if there are any VM options, Program arguments or Env variables ? You might need to pass these parameters if you run it using the command line.

I found another post that might help “Invalid signature file” when attempting to run a .jar

Thanks for the reply, I had a look and nope there doesn't seem to be any of those. I'll have a look at the link you posted as well and see if that fixes it – Cypher236 Apr 28 '16 at 17:56
