hi guys,

Is there an easier way of creating a batch file or jar archive file
for my programme so that it can execute without via j-Grasp(or e-
Clipse)?

I know how to use unix. is there may'be a unix way of doing it?

-Thanks

Jar files can be made executable on both Windows and Linux. The exact
method varies slightly by compiler/runtime version and what other files
you need for your program to work. But basically it is;

1) Compile your program
2) Create a manifest file with at least this line;
         Main-Class: YourMainClass
3) If you need other jar files you need a line in the manifest file;
         Classpath: Some.jar
4) Jar up the .class files and the manifest file
5) With Fedora 8 you set the 'Open With' to Java, other Linux' I don't know

Simple enough.
