open Cmd program by double click

[Marco Galea]

Hi to all,

I exported my project into a .jar using eclipse. The problem or question I have is, if it is possible to make my program (which runs on the cmd) by just double clicking on the jar file. Cause at the moment i have to run it by opening the cmd myself, go the directory of the jar and input "java -jar myproj.jar"

Thanks in advance

You can create a batch file (under Windows) or a shell script (*nix) that you can use to run your console application. E.g., for Windows:

java -jar "C:\PathToJar\ConsoleApplication.jar"

Save it under a name with .bat extension, and you'll have the desired result - double click on this file will run your application.

Under Windows you can also associate files of type .jar with java.exe and then you can double click the jar to get it to run.
