If you un-zip or un-tar the file in the dist/lib directory, it gives you a bunch of other jars. One of them is SmartDashboard. It isn’t meant to be run standalone though. They provide a script in the dist/bin directory that is meant for launching it.

I started playing around with SmartDashboard, and this post was very helpful. I can build and my modifications seem to work.

However, the build process doesn’t seem to create the correct type of .jar to be launched by the Driver Station. The original SmartDashboard.jar can be launched with

java -jar “SmartDashboard.jar”

from a bash shell, or by double-clicking it. None of the outputs from the build seem to be viable for this.

Do you know what I need to do?
