Help compiling/running Java in UNIX...

[Saint Nick]

I am developing within Windows in Netbeans 7.0. However, the Java will be executed on our UNIX boxes.

When I execute within the IDE in Windows, it runs fine. However, when I transfer my project over to UNIX using WinSCP, I get the following error:

Invalid or corrupt jarfile EmailNotification.jar

Does anyone know where I should start to look for problems? I am guessing something could be wrong in my project in Netbeans, but I'm truthfully stumped.

A jar is just a zip file. ssh to the server and unzip it there.

could it be a character formatting issue for the manifest ?

Is your UNIX server running Sun's JRE, or some open-source clone? Gcj, for instance, tries to run all the Java Sun's JRE can, but doesn't quite measure up.

could it be a character formatting issue for the manifest ?

like end of line? No idea if that could cause such problems.

Turns out it is getting corrupted somewhere in the file transfer. I changed some options in WinSCP and it worked (Options, Preferences, Transfer Settings, Switch to "Binary"). I never knew some files were transferred differently than others...
