Error: Cannot run program “jar”: CreateProcess error=2, The system cannot find the file specified

Question

When I run my BlackBerry project in Eclipse, I get the following error:

Error: Cannot run program \"jar\": CreateProcess error=2, The system cannot fi

Answer 1

This worked for me: Project JDE 5.0 OS: Windows 8.1 x64

This PC > Properties > Advanced System Settings > Environment Variables: Added the following: Path: C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jdk1.7.0_25\bin;C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jdk1.7.0_17\bin;C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre7\bin

I know the above is similar but thought id post what worked for me anyway as it reinforces the above answers :)

NB to restart eclipse.

Answer 2

This error comes because of Jdk1.7. So try 1.6 and set path to bin folder.

It works for me...

Answer 3

I was developing an app for BB JDE 5.0 and I had the java JDK 1.7. I was going crazy because I tough everything was ok. Then I realize that for JDE 5.0 I needed JDK 1.6. Installed it from here Java SE Development Kit 6 Update 45 changed the environment path and my problem was solved!. :)

Answer 4

From the BlackBerry Support Forums:

first thing is to check that the JDK is installed, and that the PATH is set correctly. Open a command line window, and run the "jar" command.

Answer 5

The Solution is: Open My computer, right click > select properties > go to advanced > go to System environment variables > under PATH add this one:

c:/Program Files/Java/jdk1.7.0_03/bin

Close and reopen Eclipse and thats it...

NOTE: jdk1.7.0... is for the java version you have installed on your computer
