Well I have been trying and trying to distribute my
java program and no matter what I do it all seems to fail. There must be something simple that I am not doing because I just can't explain it. Here is a list of what I have tried to do. Help would be much appreciated!
Tried to just get users to download a .jar file (when I downloaded it it worked but everyone else that downloaded it got some really crazy and strange errors. I don't think that you can just have someone download a straight .jar file)
Then I tried using an
applet (I could view the applet just fine but everyone else got a little x)
I then tried JNLP but I realized that I had no clue how to do server mime type stuff so I gave up on that
I then thought I finally had it, I used Apple's Jar Bundler (I have a mac, obviously) and then Package Maker to create an installer for my website. It worked awesome on my computer and I thought I finally had it but when it installed on my friends computer it opened up and exited. It opened for an incredibly small and amount of time and then quit. I checked for error messages but found none.
Has anyone else gone through this kind of trouble? If anyone could please help me I would send you my code (it's nothing special) just so you could make it able to run on someone else's computer other than mine.
Thanks!
