application to run jar files

[Rahul Sudip Bose]

i want an application that can directly run a jar file on my PC ? Any freeware ? is it good to convert them to exe and then run ?

[Darryl Burke]

java.exe and javaw.exe can already do that.

You can create an executable JAR file and you can then run it by just double-clicking on the JAR file.

For more information on creating executable JAR files see: Packaging Programs in JAR Files

If you have the JRE configured, and it's an executable jar, you can just double click it like any other program.
