Your jar command appears to be incomplete; it should lookk about like this:
jar cvmf0 manifest_file MyJar.jar MyPackage/MyClass.class MyPackage/MyClass.gif MyPackage/MyClass.txt MyPackage/MyClass.html
The 'm' in the command represents the manifest file. The 'f' represents the jarfile name. These can be reversed in order, but must be reversed respectively - that is, if the 'f' comes before the 'm', then the MyJar.jar needs to come before the manifest_file.
The contents of the manifest needs - in the simplest cases - to look like this:
Line 1. Main-Class: MyPackage.MyClass
Line 2.
Note please the Line x. do not appear; however the line 2 must exist and must be empty. IOW, a carrage return must exist at the end of line 1.
Note too that the MyPackage part is optional. It's there if you have a specifically named package.
Note lastly that you may not have .gif, .txt, etc files to add to your jarfile.

Java code to exe-file

Hi!
I hope someone can help me with this.
I have done a program in Java-code and now I want to convert that code into an executable file that can be run on most computers. I have tried to convert the code to a JAR-file and then, using the program JSmooth, transform it into a exe-file. But, sad to say...it failed. Is JSmooth the way to do it or is there another better way?
Hope to get an answer.. :)
/ Berenur

add a Main-Class: yourclass line to a manifest file, and specify your manifest when you create the jar.
I.e.
Manifest-Version: 1.4
Main-Class: myClassSave that to manifest.mf or something like that.
Then,
jar -cvfm MyJar.jar manifest.mf [all files to include in jar]
done.

How to convert Windows 8.1 .exe file to ISO image for installation via Boot Camp?

I have a late 2013 retina display MacBook Pro and want to use Boot Camp to run one piece of software that is run exclusively on Windows operating systems. I have a Windows 8.1 download from MS that is an .exe file, and I need to convert it (I believe) to an ISO image on a flash drive. How do I convert the .exe file to an ISO image?

If you want to use Mac OS X at the same time as Windows, run one of these:
VMWare Fusion
Parallels
Virtual Box (Open Source)
If you are willing to alternate Boot Windows -OR- Mac OS X, all you need is Bootcamp Assistant (and your Windows installer, of course.)
>>NB In any case, do not allow Windows to directly modify the Partition Map or change the size of any Partition. That will wipe out the Partition Map, and Mac OS X. Windows is not a pleasant guest.

How to turn a Java Application an .exe file?

Hello, I'am just above new commer in Java world. I was wondering if anyone could help me. I just developed an application in java, how can I turn it into exe file? is there a way I can run this application without the "Command" promt (window) running?
Pls. help my email address is "[email protected]"
Any assistance will be largely appreciated.

you can try the J++ compiler provided with the JBuilder from Microsoft but this is just compiling the java to C++. to create a standalone exe is as far as I know impossible. U can try to use a jar-archive (create with the sdk) and if a Java Virtual Machine is installed (normally with every popular web-browser) it will run with a doubleclick

Compiling JAVA into Windows .exe files

Hi,
Here's an easy question - how do you compile JAVA source into Windows .exe files (as opposed to class files with bytecode in them). I imagine there is a third-party product out there somewhere?

A Bayesian network is a mathematical representation of logical inference.
A very simple example has two nodes: "has tail" and "is horse", connected by a single link. If we know "is horse" is true, then it nearly always follows that "has tail" is also true. This is called modus ponens in logic. If we know "has tail" is true, then "is horse" might be true, but it might not. To infer that "is horse" is true in such a case is to commit what is called the fallacy of affirming the consequent, in logic. However, using Bayes' theorem, which would require that we know some general information about the prevelance of horses among tailed animals, and the general prevalence of horses among things in general, we can measure the exact increase in the probability that "is horse" is true that results from our knowing "has tail" to be true.
For more information, see http://www.bayesian.org
The classic book on the subject is Judea Pearl, Probabilistic Reasoning in Intelligent Systems.

Convert Java program to .exe

title says it all...is there an application that will convert your java programs into executable files?

I'm not sure which is more tiresome: The same question asked over again (after all, this is the NtJT forum), or the increasingly silly logins that forum users feel compelled to create.
Sometimes it's amusing. Occasionally it's necessary, in order to speak your mind on a subject without being flamed or ignored on neutral issues. But to my mind, perhaps it's time that multiple IDs were banned under forum rules, and IP addresses logged to enforce the ban (perhaps on complaint only). Especially when these extra logins are used only to abuse or ridicule members who posted reasonable (if monotonous) questions.
Needless to say, if J-M-B is a new user, I think you've stumbled into the wrong forum. If you wish to partake of sensible discussion, ditch the login, or no-one will ever take you seriously.
Let's keep it sensible and constructive, please.

hey buddy, i ve a problem with applet application...
i m working on java chat server build on swing applet. As it is chat server, it is divided into two parts, one is server application and other is client application. I want to run this server app on the client server and the basic thing with this site is that it is running on .net platform(Microsoft). and the other app ll running on the client machine or end user. Now the problem is that this site would run only if the server app ll be run on server. This server app ll open the socket of server, which ll listen the request of the user...... So, the requirement is to convert this java sever class file into dll file and register this dll file with the IIS server.So, It run and stop with the IIS server.
I ve already search the way to convert the java class file into dll file. This is possible in such way........... below code is for the java class file...

type this command which ll make dll file automatically....

I wonder if this will work:

Your chatServer is an application that can be started from the commandline.
A dll is a library to be used in com, com+, other executables or ....

Convert Java into a dll file

is it possible to make portions of java program into a dll file so that other program can consume it?

dll which stands for Dynamic Link Library, is specific to windows and dos I believe, and so attempting to make a change like the one you request will break the ability of a program to work on mult OSs. There are several exe conversion utilities out there, but I haven't seen a dll conversion one, but then again, I haven't been looking.
Perhaps the best answer is not to directly answer your specific question, but try to answer your problem. I assume that you want Java talking to a C or C++ program or other similar program that can compile to dll form. If so, have you considered looking into using the JNI library? This is one of several solutions that will allow you to do just this. Again, using it usually breaks your program's ability to be interoperable on multiple OSs.
Good luck.

How to create the exe files for java application

How to create the exe file for java application?
got any software to do that?
Thanks

In terms of converting java applications into exe files, there are 3 schools of thought:
1) Instead of converting it to an exe, convert it to a jar file. Jar files are more portable than exe files because they can be double-clicked on any operating system. The caveat is that a Java interpreter must be installed on the target computer for the double-clicking to work.
http://developer.java.sun.com/developer/Books/javaprogramming/JAR/
2) Create an exe launcher that, when double-clicked, attempts to find a Java interpreter on the local computer and launches the Java application. The exe file is still double-clickable but whether your java application runs depends on whether a Java interpretor is installed on the target computer.

http://www.rolemaker.dk/nonRoleMaker/javalauncher/
http://www.jelude.cjb.net/
http://thor.prohosting.com/~dfolly/java/index.html
3) Create an exe launcher that bundles a Java interpretor. Same as above but when the exe file is double-clicked, it searches for a Java interpreter and if one is not found, it installs one on the target computer. The caveat is that the exe file would have an overhead of 10 MB in size for the interpreter.
http://www.excelsior-usa.com/jet.html (evaluation version available)
4) Convert the Java application into a native exe file. The caveat is that if you use Swing for your GUI, it won't be converted. Also this option is still somewhat experimental.
Can't think of any free options right now.
