Message:

executable jar

Posted by jinaraj on January 29, 2001 at 3:52 AM

This is a class file that displays a Frame.

import java.awt.*;

class Test
{
public static void main(String ss[])
{
Frame f=new Frame();
f.setSize(200,200);
f.show();
}
}

Write one manifest file for it.

Manifest-Version: 1.0
Main-Class: Test

save it as test.manifest

Create a jar file with the following command

jar -cfm test.jar test.manifest Test.class.

This jar file will be executable. Just double click on it, you will see one frame. (The window closing event is not handled)
