Re: [Wrapper-user] cant access main function in parent class

[Leif M. <le...@ta...>]

Aiman,
    The WrapperSimpleApp and WrapperStartStopApp classes currently only 
look for a
static main method in the class specified as the main class.  It does 
not recurse up and
look at the parent classes looking for a main method.    I had not 
actually known that
was legal.   I'll do some testing here and get this fixed for a future 
version.

    For now, you can work around this by creating a dummy class whose 
main method
simply calls the main method that you want.

    Thinking about this as I write however, I am confused as to why you 
do not just specify
BlaParent as your main class?   The main class is static so there is no 
reason to be calling
the main method using the child class name.

    As for searching the list, go to the following page:
http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?forum_id=11948

    Use the search box in the upper left of the screen.  It is a bit 
confusing as it is the same
search box as the SF site.  But if you look closely you will see the 
list box over the field
says "This Mailing List".

Cheers,
Leif
