This is more of a java question directly. I'm trying to retrieve the "Implementation-Version" from my manifest file from my main jar file with java webstart. My curent code looks something like this: URL url = this.getClass().getResource("/MainProgram.jar"); System.out.println("URL: " + url.getPath()); JarURLConnection jurlConn = (JarURLConnection)url.openConnection(); Manifest mf = jurlConn.getManifest(); Attributes attr = mf.getMainAttributes(); System.out.println(attr.getValue("Implementation-Version")); url is always null...any idea what I'm missing? Thanks, -Paul
