so i am trying to use classes from a jar file i downloaded. The jar file is not in the same directory as the .java file that will use classes from the jar file.
I run
jar -tvf json-simple-1.1.1.jar
and I get

0 Sun Feb 19 14:30:56 CST 2012 org/json/simple/parser/
I want to implement ItemList.class, and I now know that it is in the package
org/json/simple/
so in my .java file I do
import org.json.simple.ItemList;
public class Foo(){
public static void main(String[]args){
ItemList i = new ItemList();
}
}
I now need to compile Foo() so I run
javac -cp '.;json-simple-1.1.1.jar' Foo.java
I get the error that the package org.json.simple does not exist but in github the class ItemList has package org.json.simple
Am I missing something? Thanks in advance
If the jar is not in the same directory you need to give the path to the jar directory when specifying the class path.

I've got a relatively simple jar-with-dependencies being built with Maven that is way larger than it seems like it should be. It's around 20MB, and in order to figure out what's taking up so much space, I've done the following:
First, I ran mvn dependency:tree. Then I checked in my .m2 cache for the size of each of the jars in the dependency tree. If I add up all of those sizes, it comes to about 8MB. How can I figure out where the other 12MB are coming from?
One thing I noticed in looking through my .m2 was that for many of the dependencies, they'll have something like this:
total 5224

What are the -sources and -javadoc jars? Are those included in my uber jar? Because if every one of my dependencies uses the -javadoc jar instead of the standard one, that gets me a lot closer to 20MB.
Run
jar tvvf <your_simple-jar-with-dependencies.jar>
Or, open it with any zip compatible archiver and examine the contents to determine what is being included. Alternatively, run maven with -X for more extensive runtime information.
Anyone can tell me where can I find the full version of JFreeChart? I downloaded the JCommon and JFreeChart as well (from the sourceforge page), but the JFreeChart contains only the jfreechart-demo.jar, so even if I correctly added the libraries in Eclipse, it doesn't work either...
Many Thanks!
When unpacked, the required JAR files are in the lib directory.

I have purchased a code signing certificate for signing my jar files. After adding the whole chain of trust to the keystore, signing and validating the jar file I get this output:

Warning:
This jar contains signatures that does not include a timestamp. Without a timest

xpiration date (2017-07-21) or after any future revocation date.
But after copying the jar to the web server and opening the webpage on the same system I get "The certificate is not valid..."
Did I miss something? I'm new to code signing.

Last file is of interest.
As you see the time component values are coincide but timezones differ.
Machines are really at different timezones.
How to handle this situation? What information is stored inside ZIP and where a mistake can be? Finally I need Linux machine to know modification times correctly.
I'm having a problem with running a jar file. If I compile the code in eclipse everything is ok, but when I export to jar and try to run the program it throws an error.
The error is:
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NullPointerException
at javax.swing.ImageIcon.<init>(Unknown Source)
at game.ChessSquare.<init>(ChessSquare.java:17)
at game.ChessFrame.DrawField(ChessFrame.java:131)
at game.ChessFrame.<init>(ChessFrame.java:38)
at game.Chess.main(Chess.java:7)
So the piece of code that throws this error is
//text is something like "pawn" or "king".The whole image is an icon on the button
img = new ImageIcon(getClass().getResource("white/"+text+".png"));
As I understand, it can't find the image so img variable is null. But I can't understand why then it does run in eclipse. Any help with this? Thanks

The file where the error occurs is ChessSquare.class
img = new ImageIcon(getClass().getResource("/game/white/"+text+".png"));
Note the leading slash, as well as the game prefix.
As indicated in the comments, look in your jar (use winzip, 7zip, or something like that) to see where the resource is located. If it is not in a "white" directory then something is wrong with your jar build.
As to why it's running in Eclipse... that's likely because Eclipse is including the resource directory in the classpath when you run the program. This means that the getClass().getResource(...) call finds the png.
If you are keeping the file in a resources directory in Eclipse it also could be exporting the files into the META-INF directory in the jar, look in resources. If it is doing that then you may have setup the jar to be built for deployment into a web environment (see servlet 3.0 fragments).
One final note, be careful about using getClass().getResource(...) as it locks you down to only finding resources associated with the ClassLoader of the Class making that call (subject to how the ClassLoader hierarchy in question operates). You may want to provide extensions later where you can package other image sets in jars. In those cases you'll have to rely on slightly different mechanisms to get the images loaded (see ClassLoader.getResources as a starting point).
EDIT: This looks to be strictly an Eclipse problem. According to the way that the jar is structured the correct path is "game/white/king.png".
i'm an idiot, i finally figured out where the error was. As I wrote the output was "file:/E:/Desktop/Chess/bin/game/white/Pawn.png", notice the big P letter in Pawn.png. But the actual images' names started with small letters. That's why it didn't work. Still a mystery for me why then it worked in eclipse
