Is there a way to run a Java application (not an applet) without going through DOS?

Hello, You could set up an executable JAR file. Then if your system is set up properly you can just double click on the JAR file and it should run. (I have tried this on a few different versions of Windows and it works). Another easier way would be just to create a batch script (I know it would still run through dos but it would be easier to set up than the JAR). Hope this helps Ian
I've always used JAR files with a .bat file to execute the JAR. That .bat is kind of like my shortcut. Works good.

Course it ONLY runs under Windows :roll: The main POINT of using Java is platform independance.
