exe of a jar file + passing parameter from cmd prompt to exe

[Jigar Naik]

Hi,

can we create an EXE of a jar file. the extension should be exe for Eg : testJar.exe

and can we pass parameter to the exe from comand prompt

for Eg :

C:\tesJar.exe 9969413222 Jigar

the functionality of the testJar.exe is to get the parameter and log it into the file system.

can it be possible ?

Thanks & Regards.

You can create a batch file (a.k.a. shell script) that runs the jar file and passes in whatever parameters it received.

Or is the objective to create native code?

well we have another application which was written in C++ which has opetion in GUI for executing .exe files.

so batch wont work. plus we have to pass arguement to exe. at run time.

You can call java.exe or javaw.exe:

java.exe -jar myFile.jar 9969413222 Jigar

If it is a windowed application use javaw.exe, otherwise use java.exe

If you need the full path to java.exe, you can use %WINDIR%\system32 as the path, which usually translates to C:\WINDOWS\system32

Hey Rob,

Thanks a lot, I think that should work fine.
