Java Forum / General / February 2007Creating a java executable
Hi, I would like to make a java executable. I am aware I need to jar it, I have the manifest file, and it will run when I type java -jar This.jar *** so I know the jar worked BUT, it will still not work when I double click it. That is what I want, I want to run it on the double click. jar cvfm This.jar manifest.mft This.class is what I am using to make the jar. When you respond to this, make sure you know your method works on the double click, because I can get the jar to run from the command line. THANK YOU any help would be appreciated Karl > Hi, I would like to make a java executable.

So I know I need to jar it, but I would like to know the exact jar command. > Hi, I would like to make a java executable.

THANK YOU any help would be appreciated > Karl Making JARs run at double click has nothing to do with java. This is a behaviour of your operating system. I use linux - gnome and use the following batch to start jar-files: runjar.sh > /usr/java/bin/java -jar $@ The first jar-file I had to open with "right click -> properties -> open-with -> add; and I added the "runjar.sh" batch". I marked the runjar.sh as the preferred application to start. Since then, every jar file opens at double click. > > Hi, I would like to make a java executable.

THANK YOU any help would be appreciated > Karl You appear to be using Windows. When I installed JDK and Eclipse on Windows, the appropriate file associations were set up for me. I can double click a jar file (desktop icon or Windows Explorer) to launch the application it contains. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/307859 http://support.microsoft.com/kb/323526 >> Hi, I would like to make a java executable.

C:\>assoc .jar .jar=jarfile C:\>ftype jarfile jarfile="C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.5.0_10\bin\javaw.exe" -jar "%1" %* You can use assoc and ftype commands to create the above associations (substituting whatever is appropriate for your JRE). assoc /? ftype /? This question might have been more appropriate to comp.lang.java.help. So I have crossposted it there and set followups accordingly.
