Running a .jar file in a command prompt from double click

问题

I'll start of by saying Im on windows 7.

I have created a .jar file which executes fine from the command line using the - java -jar myJar.jar approach

But what I'm after is to be able to double click on the jar file and for it to open up the command prompt window and run in the command prompt as if i've just typed the java -jar myJar.jar line.

When I double click the jar file I do think it is running because a visual part of the java is appearing, but there is no command prompt window showing my console output.

After looking around I've come across people saying that javaw which is what the jar files are associated with don't have a console and that I need to associate jar files with java.exe instead of javaw.exe. I've tried this and it didn't seem to work.

Can anyone help? A step by step would be nice.

回答1:

This is IMHO not possible. You could open the console from the application itself, but that is OS-dependent. If you need the console open, you have to run the application from it as you already do.

I had the same question and the bat file idea was genius and saved me a lot of time rewriting code. Thanks!(I would have upvoted,but apparently I don't have enough rep.)

Batch (or Bat) files are super easy to make.

Just put the java -jar YourFile.jar into notepad (if you're on windows), save as Title.bat, and put into the same folder as your jar.

presto! a program open-able by the general public.

If you want to display the command line you have to launch your jar with the command line.

java -jar MyJar.jar

I would do something like this:

(Tested in Widows XP with JRE 1.6, to support other OSs you should verify the path for each OS and select the appropriate console emulator (xterm, gnome-terminal... (check for existance and preference...)))

public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
    if (args.length == 0) {
        String path = Main.class.getProtectionDomain().getCodeSource().getLocation().getPath().substring(1);//Adds extra slash (??) didn't know why
        String decodedPath = URLDecoder.decode(path, "UTF-8");
        System.out.println(decodedPath);
        Runtime.getRuntime().exec("cmd /c start java -jar \"" + decodedPath + "\" actual_run");
    }
    else {
        System.out.println("Hello World");
        JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, "Hello World");
        System.in.read();
    }
}

Alternatively I suggest creating a bat file with this content :

java -jar yourjar.jar

This will launch your jar as well as open the command prompt automatically, all from a simple double click on a bat file. (The bat file needs to be in the same folder as your jar file, else you need to specify the path to the jar, not just the jar name)

回答6:

This is the easiest solution for beginners:

Open any text editor
write this two lines:
```
  java "yourmainclassname"
  pause
```
save that file as "name".bat
Run it with double click from windows GUI

(of course this new created .bat file must be in the same folder as the .class)

..but there is no command prompt window showing my console output.

No there wouldn't be a console for an executable Jar. You'll need to put that output in the GUI.

回答8:

Check your MANIFEST.MF

Extract your "executable" jar file into a folder
find MANIFEST.MF in META-INF folder
check presence of this field: Main-Class: YourMainClassHere

If this field dissapeared then open your original MANIFEST.txt for this point: Main-Class: YourMainClassHere must end with a new line or carriage return

Warning: The text file must end with a new line or carriage return. The last line will not be parsed properly if it does not end with a new line or carriage return.
