Java Forum / General / March 2006Java as the default application
Is there a way to make a JAR file the default application to load when clicking on a certain file type on windows? On a Mac? Thanks, Adam > Is there a way to make a JAR file the default application to load when > clicking on a certain file type on windows? On a Mac? Yes. You can have the user do it "manually", or you can have your program request to do this (though you will have to write OS specific code), or you can use JAWS to do it automatically for you. - Oliver >Is there a way to make a JAR file the default application to load when >clicking on a certain file type on windows? see http://mindprod.com/jgloss/jar.html#ASSOCIATION I think you meant making java.exe the default application when clicking a *.jar.

No - I mean something like double clicking helloILoveJava.abc will load JarFile.jar, much like double clicking a .doc opens it in Word. >No - I mean something like double clicking helloILoveJava.abc will load >JarFile.jar, much like double clicking a .doc opens it in Word. Ok. to do that you set up an association between *.abc and java.exe -jar c:\somedir\xxx.jar %1 SignatureCanadian Mind Products, Roedy Green. http://mindprod.com Java custom programming, consulting and coaching. >>Is there a way to make a JAR file the default application to load >>when clicking on a certain file type on windows?
