Java Executable

[William H Hagan]

I've written a simple financial calculator for a friend that executes in a
browser. I changed the code to an application and wish to design an icon
and execute the code via double clicking the unique icon, any ideas. By
the by, the code runs perfectly when implemented via MSDOS command line:
java FinCalc I just want to make it easier to execute instead of opening
an MSDOS window and executing from there. I'm using JDK1.2.1
Thanks

Create a Windows shortcut to run your class. (E.g. right-click on the
desktop and select New, Shortcut.) In the shortcut's Target field enter
"D:\jdk1.2.2\jre\bin\java.exe FinCalc", changing the directory to the
appropriate one for your environment. You may also have to have "-classpath
something" before FinCalc. And you may have to put the directory where
FinCalc is located into the shortcut's Start In field.

In addition, you may want to use javaw.exe instead of java.exe. It does not
wait for the application to end before quiting. So you can get rid of the
ugly DOS box.
