    Same jar file does not run on different platforms

    Hi,
    First of all I am not a java programmer. what I am doing is just trying to port a precompiled game to other machine.
    I have a java game project. the final output or the game is "game.jar". I compiled this in fedora with netbeans (5.5.1) ide. It was running well in fedora.
    But The problem arises when I try to run that same jar file from windows with same command. I used same jdk in both linux and windows.
    when I run it from fedora
    # java -jar game.jar
    works ok
    but in windows
    C:\src\java\Che rryGame\>java -jar game.jar
    Exception in thread "AWT-EventQueue-0" java.lang.Numbe rFormatExceptio n: For input string: ""

    I use the same directory structure in both linux and windows. in fact I use the same jar file all the time. the source tree is accessible in both linux and windows.

    Can anyone tell me how to make it run successfully?
    I am stuck.

      Hi,

      Java is a Platform independent Language, moreover Jar contains only class files, and Java itself says that "Write Once Run Any where " so it has to be executed, and moreover you have written this source code and compiled it using the Tool , please cross check whether there are any tool specific xml files are there for configuration, if that is the case you are unable to execute the code.

      Cheers,
      Sateesh.

          From what I see in that stack trace the game is trying to read some configuration
          data. Are you sure you packed the correct config data with the .jar? Maybe the
          game is reading from other config data when run in fedora.

          kind regards,

          Jos

              actually I compiled it with netbeans 5.5.1
              netbeans uses ant as backend as far I found in forums. then I compiled it by ant.
              #ant -buildfile build.xml
              my build file is here, I omitted the comments

              Code:
              <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<project name="NetBeansApplication" default="default" basedir=".">
    <description>Builds, tests, and runs the project NetBeansApplication.</description>
    <import file="nbproject/build-impl.xml"/>
    <target name="-post-jar">
        <jar update="true" destfile="${dist.jar}">
            <zipfileset src="${libs.swing-layout.classpath}"/>
            <zipfileset src="${libs.addMoney.classpath}"/>
            <zipfileset src="${libs.NormalWindow.classpath}"/>
        </jar>
    </target>
</project>
