Hi,

suppose I have an application with more than 1 main class. I have jar'ed the file and now depending on the situation, wanna be able to call on or the other main class. Is that possible via the command line?

I was thinks something in the lines of(TR.class is one of the main classes):

java -jar AppName.jar TR

But doesn't seem to work

Regards

Lars

The command: java -jar ...
uses the contents of the jar file's manifest Main-class entry. There is only one per jar file.
