  • Creating setup file for java project

    hi
    My project has java files, properties files,batch files as well as two jar files,mail.jar & activation.jar(for importing packages).
    I have to include these jar files while setting environment variables.
    Now i want to make setup file for myproject to provide quick launch from desktop ,can anyone pls help me how to include these all files into a single jar file. and how to make setup file
    Pls Help
    Thanks a lot !!!

    JAR files can contain any type of file that you want so you could use the following command:
    jar cf jar-file input-file(s)
    (the c tells jar to create the jar file; the f says the next item is the name of the jar file; the jar-file should be replaced with the name of the jar file; and the input-file(s) should be replaced with the name of the files you want jarred).
    In general, batch files don't do much good bundled inside a jar file. If you really want a way to bundle all of your files and have them installed, then you might want to look into JExpress or one of its competitors. Full disclosure, I work for DeNova (the mfg of JExpress).
    The advantage of an installer over a jar file is that you can distribute your files plus create a native executable to launch your java app, set up an uninstaller, etc.

  • Writing a setup file for Java project

    Hello friends,
    I am Kiran , very new to this Forum and also for java programming, my SE programmed a java project.
    now I got to do two things --
    1.I have to create a jar file with those class files and also an exe file which can execute that jar file.
    2. I have to write a "setup file" for automatic instalation of my Java project.
    so I request my friends to help in these two issues by providing some suggestions to do them.
    Thank you in advance.
    Kiran Karnati.

    1.I have to create a jar file with those class filesI suggest you use ant to build the jar file. Thee are many tutorials available if you use google.
    and also an exe file which can execute that jar file.Java will execute the jar file e.g.
    java -jar myjar.jar
    Of from windows just double click on the jar file.
    2. I have to write a "setup file" for automatic instalation of my Java project. You can do this with ant for remote deployment or use a batch file or use another jar which when run unpacks the application.
    BTW Is Kiran a girl's name or a boy's name or both?

  • HOw to create a Batch file for java application and whats the use of this ?

    HI,
    How to create a Batch file for java application ?
    And whats the use of creating batch file ?
    Thanks in advance

    First of all, you're OT.
    Second, you can find this everywhere in the net.
    If you got a manifest declaring main class (an classpath if needed), just create a file named whatever.bat, within same directory of jar file, containing:
    javaw -jar ./WhateverTheNameOfYourJarIs.jar %*By the way, assuming a Windows OS, you can just double click the jar file (no batch is needed).
    Otherwise use:
    javaw -cp listOfJarsAndDirectoriesSeparedBySemiColon country/company/application/package/className %*Where 'country/company/application/package/' just stands for a package path using '/' as separator instead of '.'
    Don't specify the .class extension.
    Javaw only works on Windows (you asked for batch, I assumed .BAT, no .sh), in Linux please use java.exe (path may be needed, Windows doesn't need it 'cause java's executables are copied to system32 folder in order to be always available, see PATH environment variable if you don't know what I'm talking about) and use ':' as classpath (cp) separator.
    The '%***' tail is there in order to pass all parameters, it only works on Windows, refer to your shell docs for other OSs (something like $* may work).
    This way you have a command you can call to launch your code (instead of opening NetBeans just to see your app working). You could schedule tasks on it or just call it in any command prompt (hope you know what it is 'cause there have been people in this very same forum with no clue about it, if not just hold the 'Windows button' and press 'R', then type 'cmd' and run it).
    Finally add dukes and give 'hem away.
    Bye.

  • Creating an exe file for java

    Hi all,
    any way to create the exe file using JBuilder 3?
    if possible how to do that?
    how about creating installation file for the application?
    thanks alot

    I think you might need a byte code compiler that converts the .class files to .exe
    I believe there are some products out there that do this. I don't think there is a java utility that performs this type of operation.

  • 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.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.

  • Single setup file for BPM Suite 11g or later

    Hi
    Please tell me where to find a single setup file for Latest Oracle BPM Suite.
    I could not install all required software with multiple setup files.

    Hi
    1. Sorry. There is Nothing single setup file for Oracle BPM Suite like you are expecting for any typical software application.
    2. Option 1: Yes. If you are familiar with VM Ware and virtual machine, then you are ok to some extent. Oracle do have like a single vm image that takes care of all you want. Provided you have VM installed. Means we do have an image that contains all pre-requisites and full oracle bpm software like Oracle XE, RCU, WLS, SOA/BPM on top of WLS, BPM/SOA Domain. But this is for advanced and not for beginners unless you know VM Ware and virtual images.
    3. If you are a java/j2ee developer/architect, then here are the steps for installation:
    a) Good machine with atleast 8 GB RAM.
    b) Install WLS Latest Version. Install SOA/BPM matching version on top of this WLS.
    c) Install Oracle XE Database or have access to already installed regular Oracle 11g Database.
    d) Download RCU same version as above of soa version and unzip and install in the above Database. I am not giving all steps. Just an overview.
    e) Now run config wizard, create a bpm/soa domain and refer above rcu details (soa_infra, mds etc). You will have a soa/bpm domain.
    f) Download and install JDeveloper IDE same matching version. Here you will create any soa / bpm / bpel applications. Once all done. Deploy on the above created domain.
    So unfortunately, there is nothing like a single .exe or setup file to install oracle bpm/soa. The closest is a vm image which is kind of advanced. But for a normal typical software developer, you had to follow above step 3 (a to f).
    Unfortunately if you do not have Virtual Machine, you should and must install all the software(s) and configuration(s). There is no other alternative. Its very simple either way.
    Thanks

  • Creating UNIX file for RFBIBL00

    Hi All,
    I am creating the file for the RFBIBL00 program to use.
    I am filling in structures
    BGR00 - SESSION
    BBKPF - HEADER
    BBSEG - DOCUMENT
    so in my I am planning for my file to contain
    1 session rec
    1 header rec
    multiple document recs
    is there any specific way to format the file? like spacing between variables? I see that the "/" is used for special chars.
    I am just wondering what is the correct way to setup this file so the RFBIBL00 will process it?
    thanks

  • Programmatically creating postscript files for office documents

    Hi All
    I am in the process of experimenting with vb.net to open up a word document in the background and create a postscript file, which i would then use to create a pdf. This currently is a windows service and seems to run ok when the same code runs through a windows form application.
    The problem i am having is with the "When creating a postscript file you have to sent the host fonts" error message, which seems to be fairly common judging by numerous articles on various forums. However, none of the solutions seem to solve my problem.
    I have set the "Do Not Send Fonts To Adobe PDF" option to OFF on printer defaults, on the current printer setup and even on the printer settings for that application (go to print, properties etc from within Word).
    However, whenever i run the code i get the error message. I then made the instance of word visible and checked the application settings for the adobe pdf printer.... the "Do Not Send Fonts To Adobe PDF" is now ticked. But when i close this down, and open word as a normal user would and check the setting it is off! Why would this be?
    Can i programmatically change this setting when word opens and before i run the post script file creation code? Where is this value for the setting stored? I do not understand why this is resetting in the instance of word through code? Is it something to do with setting the active printer and at this point using the default setting?
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks in advance
    Nic

    You say you are doing this as Windows service – does this mean you are running this on a server of some sort?  If so, that is NOT ALLOWED.
