Hi I downloaded an app, it was a jar file
How do I get it to run?
I have jre1.5.0_06
At the moment I see I have jar files associated with a particular java app,
do I need to change this.
I have seen an article re Making Jar Files Double Clickable, but I dont wish
to 'screw' the current java app I use.
TY

Windows console :
go to the folder containing the jar, fe
cd \work

"C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.5.0_06\bin\java" -jar blip.jar

see http://mindprod.com/jgloss/jar.html#ASSOCIATION

You want to make sure your association is to the JVM java.exe or
javaw.exe you are using.

If you are worried you will make things worse, record the original
settings.
