After installing the app to open jar files windows 10, you should set this program as default for all JAR files. To do this, right-click on the JAR file, select Open with and select Choose another app. A list of the compatible app comes. Here, select the Java Runtime Environment and check the box beside Always use this app to open.jar files. Jun 14, 2013 Find changesets by keywords (author, files, the commit message), revision number or hash, or revset expression. So what will normally happen is that you’ll associate the.jar file to open with java.exe, you double-click on the executable.jar, and a command prompt window will open for a split second and close, and the program does not launch. What we need to do is re-associate the.jar file with the Java binary.

Before installing Chunky you will need Java 8 update 40 or later.You can download Java here.

On Ubuntu, some other Linux distributions, and with Java 11 or greater you may have to install a JavaFXlibrary to be able to run Chunky. On Ubuntu 16.04, just have to install thepackage openjfx (ie apt-get install openjfx).

There are several different ways to install Chunky. If you are using Windowsthen the Windows Installer is probably the best option.There is also a handy Mac Bundle for Mac users.However to use Chunky 2.X you need to use the ChunkyLauncher.jar.

For other platforms you can download the Chunky Launcher(ChunkyLauncher.jar). Thelauncher is a Java application that downloads and updates Chunky. You canstart the launcher by double-clicking the downloaded Jar file, or typing thiscommand in a terminal/command prompt:

On later versions of OpenJDK Java, you might need to run it with --module-path and --add-modules like below:

You should put these arguments into the launcher too.

The first time you start Chunky or the Chunky Launcher, you will be asked topick a settings directory for Chunky: Avatar the legend of korra season 4.

The recommended directory is usually the best option. Click 'Use SelectedDirectory' to continue.

Next, you will see the Chunky Launcher. Even if you did not download thestandalone launcher, this window will pop up:

If you downloaded only the launcher then you will have to update Chunky,otherwise can click 'Launch' to start Chunky.

Updating Chunky

Mac

In the launcher, hitting the 'Check for Update' button will make the launchercheck for an update to Chunky online. This must be done the first time youstart Chunky if you only downloaded the launcher.

If an update to Chunky was is available you will soon see the 'UpdateAvailable!' window:

Click the 'Update to New Version' button to start downloading the requiredfiles. When the download process has completed you can close the 'UpdateAvailable!' by clicking 'Close' and then, in the main launcher window, click'Launch' to start Chunky.

Every Java programmer knows - or should known - that it is possible to create a runnable Java package archive (JAR), so that in order to launch an application it is enough to specify the jar file name on the Java interpreter command line along with the -jar parameter. For example:

There are plenty of tutorials showing how to implement this feature using Ant, Maven, Eclipse, Netbens, etc.

Anyway in its basic form, it just requires to add a MANIFEST.MF file to the jar package. The manifest must contain an entry Main-Class that specifies which is the class defining the main method for your application. For example:

But this still requires your users to invoke the Java interpreter with the -jar option. There are many reasons why it would be preferable to have your app runnable by simply invoking it on the terminal shell like any other command.

Here comes the protip!

Jar

This technique it is based on the ability to append a generic binary payload to a Linux shell script. Read more about this here: http://www.linuxjournal.com/content/add-binary-payload-your-shell-scripts

Taking advantage of this possibility the trick is just to embed a runnable jar file into a Bash script file. The script when executed will launch the Java interpreter specifying itself as the jar to run. Too complex? Much more easier to do in practice, than to explain!

Let's say that you have a runnable jar named helloworld.jar

Copy the Bash script below to a file named stub.sh

Than append the jar file to the saved script and grant the execute permission to the file resulting with the following command: Foscam ip camera tool 10.12.4.

That's all!

Now you can execute the app just typing helloworld.run on your shell terminal.

The script is smart enough to pass any command line parameters to the Java application transparently. Cool! Isn't it ?!

In the case your are a Windows guy, obviously this will not work (except you will run a Linux compatibility layer like Cygwin).

Anyway exist tools that are able to wrap a Java application into a native Windows .exe binary file, producing a result similar to the one explained in this tutorial. See for example http://launch4j.sourceforge.net/
