Hey,How would I build an executable or run a game on another computer built with JCreator?

Haha. Im thinking "holy hitler" might replace "nazi pope" as mymake believe punk band's name.
TuringPesta at 2007-7-12 10:42:06 >
For a punk band wouldn't "Holy Hitler's Gonads" be better?

Ok this is a really trivial question to yal but I really dont know.
@CaptainMorgain08
How do you add a picture direcly into your post?
I wanted to do the same but didnt know how to go about it
in my following thread
http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=5174630
I would appreceate it, cause it may come handy later on for me and many others.
Thanks in advance

Don't ask Captain Morgan - Sun forum's very own Jeremy Beadle - for advice on posting, and don't ever click on any pictures you see in his posts. Or links. In fact, don't even read his posts since he's probably worked out a way to make your optical nerve turn inside out or something by now

Well it doesnt specifically matter that you compiled your program in JCreator. IDEs are just special tools for writing code but the code is still compiled into .class or .jar files.
Therefore, If youd like to distribute your program to another computer you need 2 things:
(1) JRE (java runtime environment)
(2) Your compiled code (in the form of .class files or .jars)
So basically what im saying is copy and paste your class files, lol.

Djaunla at 2007-7-21 21:25:13 >
so where is the JRE file that I need? Do I just double click it and it will run?

when I looked it up it's telling me to create it with commands in a directory, but I'm confused, it's talking about the directory like it should be obvious what its talking about, but I have no idea what it means. What directory do I type it into?
GilGalvantia at 2007-7-21 21:25:13 >
Assuming you are using Windows:
Use Notepad / whatever other text editor you want to create your .java file.
Save it.
Open up a command prompt.
you'll probably see something like:
C:\Documents and Settings\YourName>
Now, when you clicked "File --> Save" from your menu, you saved it into a specific folder (directory). Lets assume you saved it to C:\ for sh*ts and giggles.
To compile this file and to create a jar, follow this steps:
From the prompt, type:
CD C:\
your prompt will now read:
C:\>
type in the following:
javac [the name of your java file].java
Assuming there are no errors, you will see this line again:
C:\>
Now, in order to make an executable jar file (i.e. one that you can "double-click" and execute) you need to make a manifest file. Re-open Notepad and type the following:
Manifest-Version: 1.0
Main-Class: [my filename]
(Make sure you put the blank line at the end.)
Save it to C:\ with the .java file you created earlier. Call it manifest.mf
Go back to your command prompt which should still read:
C:\>
Type in the following:
jar -cvfm MyJar.jar manifest.mf *.class
You'll get some information about adding a manifest file and the names of the classes that are in that directory.
To test whether or not your jar file assembled correctly, type the following:
java -jar MyJar.jar
If it executes, you're good to go.
If you have any further questions, let me know. I'll do what I can to give you a hand.

I am using JCreator by the way if that matters.
GilGalvantia at 2007-7-21 21:25:13 >
For the sake of my example, do the following:
Open Notepad
open Notepad and type the following:
public class Test {
public static void main(String[] argv) {
System.out.println("This is a test...");
}
}
Click file-->save.
Save it to C:\ and call it Test.java
use that for the example I just gave you in my previous post.

Thanks for the help, but I'm having some problems with it. Following your directions directly caused me to have some problems. First, when I type javac, it says it is an unrecognized command, internal or external. I continued anyways, and created the manifest file in notepad, saved it, changed the name to manifest.mf, then typed " jar -cvfm MyJar.jar manifest.mf *.class" into the console, but it said, jar is not recognized as an internal or external command.

You will need to set your classpath. If you don't know how, do a search.
floundera at 2007-7-21 21:25:13 >
No problem, all you have to do is set up your path variable.
From windows, go to My Computer.
Go to C:\Program Files\
Look for a folder called Java
Double click on it.
Then look for a folder called JDK1.X.X_XX where X's will be replaced with a number.
Remember this folder name.
Click on the Start menu.
Click Settings
Click Control Panel
Make sure you are in "Classic View"
Double click on the System icon
Click on the Advanced Tab
click on the Environment Variables button
click on the Path listing
click Edit
Remember that folder that you found your JDK in?
Append this to the end of your path listing:
;c:\program files\java\[the folder that you found, exactly as you typed it]
Make sure that there is a semi-colon (;) between your entry and the last entry in the list of paths.
Click on.
Close out of that.
Open a new command prompt.
type in CD C:\
retry the javac part and then the jar -cvfm part.

Arghh...still not working, sorry :S. I did everything you said and double checked it. Still says the same error :/
GilGalvantia at 2007-7-21 21:25:13 >
Repeat for classpath.
floundera at 2007-7-21 21:25:13 >
First, close the command prompt you have open right now.
Then open a new one.
Then type:
echo %PATH%
Does it show the addition that you just made through the control panel?
If it does, then retry the javac and jar commands.
If not - then double check the spelling in your path. It may be that you've typed something incorrectly.

I'm so sorry ... that was my fault...When you set the path on the control panel, it should have been:c:\program files\java\jdk1.6.0_01\binSorry about that. Fix that, restart your command prompt and you'll be in business. Dense moment, there.

I tried that but it just opens a blank page, even though it runs fine from JCreator :S
GilGalvantia at 2007-7-21 21:25:18 >
Okay, I tried it with some of the examples that came with JCreator, and I can get their html files to run, but when I edit the code and try to run it again, it still runs the original code. Any ideas why?

Have you tried the [url= http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/tooldocs/windows/appletviewer.html]AppletViewer[/url]? That might help. Eliminates issues like browser cache.
