Hi,
I want to execute a java GUI program outside of the IDE. I don't want to use
an installer at this stage.
I know one can invoke a command line java app by typing: java some_class at
the command line, but can't figure out how to invoke a GUI app.
TIA
cw

its ok I found the answer on the sun site
I need to set up a shortcut and include the command in the path
eg.
javaw[space][optional_switches][path][space][class_name]

If you put the classpath and tell the jvm what the main class is in the
manifest, then
you [potentially] won't need a batch file.

You can use java -jar [jar_file.jar]
Much nicer than a batch file IMHO.
