Java Forum / General / September 2006Masking the java program name
hi, Can i mask the name of my java program so that others executing the program will not be able to know which is the actual program they are running? I.E. can i replace 'java Run' to 'Run'? ruds wrote on 17.09.2006 06:06: > hi, > Can i mask the name of my java program so that others executing the > program will not be able to know which is the actual program they are > running? > I.E. can i replace 'java Run' to 'Run'? For *nix system you can simply create a shell script called 'Run'. For Windows, have a look at launch4j (luanch4j.sourceforge.net) it will create a .exe file that will take care of starting your program Thomas > ruds wrote on 17.09.2006 06:06: >> hi, [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > For Windows, have a look at launch4j (luanch4j.sourceforge.net) it > will create a .exe file that will take care of starting your program Or you can create a batch file on Windows that does what the shell script does on Unix.

Yes, of course, but most Windows users prefer to start an .exe, and in case of the .bat file we'd face the unevitable question "How do I avoid the console window when starting a Java program" ... ;) Thomas > Mike Schilling wrote on 17.09.2006 09:49: >>> ruds wrote on 17.09.2006 06:06: [quoted text clipped - 15 lines] > > Thomas I'd say most windows users don't care what the app is written in - so long as they have a short-cut on thiner desktop,start menu, quick launch menu, or any combo there of. I want to know this specially for unix system how should i do it? ruds wrote on 17.09.2006 10:23: > I want to know this specially for unix system > how should i do it? Read my first post... If you are doing it from a batch file then you can use the start command to remove the console window. e.g. start /b javaw -jar xxxxx.jar with xxxxx.jar being the executable jar you are using. The console appears and then disappears once the application has launched. This is better than having the console appearing as well as the application.

As Thomas suggested, though, one can avoid the console Window entirely by making the right CreateProcess call to the OS from a stub program in C or C++, avoiding the console window entirely. >> If you are doing it from a batch file then you can use the start >> command to remove the console window. e.g. [quoted text clipped - 10 lines] > call to the OS from a stub program in C or C++, avoiding the console > window entirely. On Windows, I generally provide a shortcut, and use the javaw.exe version of the java command line, which does not start a console window.
