Final submisssion of the jar file.

[Srini Madireddy]

Hello Ranchers,
I am getting ready to submit my assignment. I would like your help in clarifying my dilemma/questions. Here is the structure of my jar file.


Sundev.jar-- main jar file
|
--runme.jar(all class files)
--db-2x3.db
--code(source files)
--version.txt(version info used)
--docs
|
-- instructions.html(provided by sun how to develop the app)
-- choices.txt(design document)
-- userguide.txt(Instructtions/Steps on how to run the application)
--javadocs(directory containing all html documents)



My question is, i have provided instructions on how to run the application in userguide.txt. It has instructions on how to set path to jdk and etc.

Before the user sees the userguide.txt, He should be able to unjar the main jar file. that means he/she has to set the path to the jdk before extracting the main jar file.what should i do?

Did anybody gone through the same thoughts? Your answers are very very appreciated.

Hi Srini:
This should not be a concern.
The grader must know how to set the path to run java program and how to unjar your jar file. Otherwise, how can he become a Sun grader to verify your Java application.
In my user guide, I have a "Pre-installation" section to metion the user need to install and setup JRE first but I don't note how to install and setup JRE.
The reason is simple because my user guide is B&S system(my assignment) user guide, not Java Runtime Environment user guide.

Cheers
