How to open the executable file in this Java Project? I would like to play this game. I tried opening all the .jar files already, but I get “Failed to load Main-Class manifest attributes from” the file
https://github.com/lisaglendenning/softquor
The executable is at /dist/softquor.jar
As others have said already, this jar is not a standalone App. It’s actually an client server application.
I took a quick look, you can exercise the client like this:
Assuming
softquor.jaris in your current working directory.In one console, start the server
In another console start the Text client (you can start multiple clients!)
From the class name I do say the TextClient will let you enter some command and play the game.
If you get something like
ClassNotFoundExceptionthen it means the project is using some third party jar file. Unfortunately you will have to find out those dependencies yourself since there is no clear documentation on that.
