Hi,

I'm trying to build a jar file from this project. I tried using this tutorial and these were my results:
adding: attackers/GeneticAttacker.java(in = 4824) (out= 1505)(deflated 68%) adding: attackers/GeneticAttackerWithoutIncubating.java(in = 3910) (out= 1332)(deflated 65%) adding: attackers/GeneticAttackerWithoutPumping.java(in = 4903) (out= 1544)(deflated 68%) adding: attackers/GeneticAttackerWithoutSeeding.java(in = 4876) (out= 1520)(deflated 68%) adding: attackers/pp/(in = 0) (out= 0)(stored 0%) adding: attackers/pp/Pumper.java(in = 3475) (out= 1126)(deflated 67%) adding: regex/ASCII.java(in = 8577) (out= 1525)(deflated 82%) adding: regex/ReScueCharacter.java(in = 50483) (out= 10751)(deflated 78%) adding: regex/ReScueMatcher.java(in = 47660) (out= 9324)(deflated 80%) adding: regex/ReScuePattern.java(in = 202090) (out= 38049)(deflated 81%) adding: regex/UnicodeProp.java(in = 6580) (out= 1505)(deflated 77%) adding: tester/RedosTester.java(in = 7661) (out= 2195)(deflated 71%) adding: tester/RexploiterBest.java(in = 159) (out= 126)(deflated 20%) adding: tester/SlowFuzzBest.java(in = 157) (out= 130)(deflated 17%) adding: tester/TempTester.java(in = 23666) (out= 4631)(deflated 80%) adding: tester/Validator.java(in = 147) (out= 121)(deflated 17%) adding: utils/NodeRelation.java(in = 1332) (out= 526)(deflated 60%) adding: utils/RegexFormatter.java(in = 3317) (out= 1051)(deflated 68%) adding: utils/RegexViewer.java(in = 7493) (out= 2127)(deflated 71%) adding: utils/ReScuePatternUtils.java(in = 1076) (out= 459)(deflated 57%) adding: utils/StringUtils.java(in = 2115) (out= 771)(deflated 63%) emily@snoopy:~/ReScue/src/cn/edu/nju/moon/redos$ ~/ReScue/src/cn/edu/nju/moon/redos^C emily@snoopy:~/ReScue/src/cn/edu/nju/moon/redos$ clear emily@snoopy:~/ReScue/src/cn/edu/nju/moon/redos$ cd ~/Desktop/ emily@snoopy:~/Desktop$ ls 2bdenny-ReScue-ecf0e98 emilyJar.jar g\ ReScue WinSCP Practice emily@snoopy:~/Desktop$ java -jar emilyJar.jar no main manifest attribute, in emilyJar.jar

I then used an IDE, Eclipse, to find main methods. Because there were multiple mains, I chose the RegexFormatter class because it handled some arguments. Following this tutorial I got this output:

In my latest attempt, I used Eclipse to try and build it. I was unsuccessful and got the no main manifest attribute message again. Perhaps you could provide instructions on how you went about building the jar?

Thank you.

The main class for ReScue is in cn.edu.nju.moon.redos.tester.RedosTester.java, other classes in this directory is used for testing and evaluation.
If you want to build the jar file by yourself at the time, just create a java project in Eclipse on ReScue/ and use File-Export-Runnable JAR File-Launch configuration: RedosTester to generate it. (And do not forget to import the dependencies in Java Build Path)

I will add a script to build the ReScue.jar automatically soon, thanks again for your reporting.

This worked! Thank you for your help.

Fixed by #3, so I guess this can be closed?
