Double click on JAR file to execute it.... How?

Hello,

I wrote a standalone java application, and im wondering how to put a shortcut on my desktop to run the application without having to go into the command prompt to type "java -jar MyProgram.jar".

I want to be able to just double click on it and have it run. Is there a way to do this?

Here is how I did it:Just install the JDK/JRE and then make a shortcut to the jar file you want to execute. When you install the jre jar's are registered and all you need do is double click them. I've done this in windows 95, 98, Me, NT, and Win2000.

You can also do this manually from "Folder Options".

not if you don't have the jre/jdk installed first.
