executing java class files

[karthik.s]

hello,
When we double click the .exe files ,os will automatically execute/runs
the files similarly ,whether it is possible for java class files(to run a
java class file by double clicking it ?)?

[Ruchi Dhar]

There is no straight way of associating double click on class file. You can
write a batch file like the follwoing

execJava.bat

@echo off
set JAVA_HOME=c:\jdk1.1.8
set path=%JAVA_HOME%\bin;%path%
set classpath=.;%JAVA_HOME%\lib\classes.zip;%classpath%
@echo on
%JAVA_HOME%\bin\java %1

In your explorer associate the class file to this batch file.

Hello,

On Windows environment, you can create a jar file which can execute on
double-click.
Create you manifest file which refers to your main driver class.

On Windows, you can use a product called Jove for creating an (optimized)
exe from your java source. Expensive though!

It will work fine,but it will unnecessarily keep open a dos window,to avoid
this u can use javaw instead of java
