How do I build and run a java application?

I wrote my java swing application in jbuilder where I run it from a test class.
Now I want to send it out to others, so they can run it from their computers, how do I do that? Is it possible to create an *.exe file with icon for them to click on? How do I do that?
Thanks in advance!

You should try InstallAnywhere 4.5 from ZeroG:
http://www.zerog.com/products_ia_01.html
It creates an exe for your application which can include the JVM necessary to run it.

How can I compile and run other java classes from within an application?

Hello there everyone! I really hope that someone can help me. I am writing a program that must be able to compile and run other java classes that are in different files, much like development environments like Kawa or Forte allow you to do.
There has to be a way of doing this ( I hope!! ), but i can't seem to find it!!
I have tried using this command to compile:
Runtime.getRuntime().exec ("c:\\programs\\javac className.java");
...and this one to run:
Runtime.getRuntime().exec ("c:\\programs\\java className");
...but neither works!!! I can compile and run classes that are in the same file as my application, but I can't get it to work at all for files in different directories or files.
PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE help me - i've run out of ideas, and i need this to be working in 3 days!!!
Thank you very much for any help anyone can give me, I really appreciate it!! Thanks again!!
Adrian ( ...in distress!! )

public class JavaCompiler{
   public static void main(String[] args)throws Exception{ //sorry bout the laziness
      if(args == null || args.length != 1){
         System.out.println("Usage: java JavaCompiler MyClass.java");
         System.exit(0);
      String className = args[0];
      Runtime rt = Runtime.getRuntime();
      Process p = rt.exec("javac " + className); //consider setting cpath for this
      p.waitFor();
      //now try to run after it is done.
      p = rt.exec("java " + className.substring(0, (className.length() - ".java".length()));
      p.waitFor();
      //do some other stuff
}This should get you going. You may consider looking into the System.getProperty() method in order to determine the type of OS it is running on in order to findo out what command to run. I know that the sun tool listed above is nice, but by my understanding the sun tools provided are not guaranteed to stay the same. I'm no expert on this matter, but that is one of the reasons there is no API documentation for those tools. Also, I don't believe those tools come packaged with the JRE. (Of course if you are making an IDE it will be expected that the user has an sdk installed. Good luck with figuring this thing out.

How can I build and run CDC in Red Hat Linux?

I downloaded the CDC and CVM(j2me_cdc_fp-1_0_2-src.zip), and wanted to build a VM in Red Hat Linux. But I can't find the Makefile in the "build" directory. How can I build it?

You should be able to run a J2SE VM with the CDC jar as the bootclasspath, I think.

How can I install and run the Java Telephony API

Hello!
I have downloaded the Java Telephony API but I couldn't find the installation notes for installing it on my PC (Win2000).
Can anyone help me?

Since the package is downloaded as just .class files just set your classpath like you normally would if you were creating your own package...I personally would install the class file version...run a sample program and see if this works...

How to build and run sample extensions?

I spend quite a while in trying to get the sample extensions to run, provided at
Adobe-CEP/CEP-Resources · GitHub or also in the Adobe Illustrator CC 2014 SDK for the Plugins that have a GUI.
So far i did not succeed.
System Windows 7 x64. Illustrator CC
First try:
Package one of the samples using the Adobe package manager. Added the whole folder of "CEP_HTML_Test_Extension" or as well the "TutorialUI" from the SDK samples.
and then install the resulting zxp file it using the "Extension manager". No errors reported. Extension managers lists the Extension as active for AI CC. Started Illustrator.
But i dont see anything in illustrator. There is no entry "Extensions" in the Windows menu of Illustrator.
The menus of the Tutorial PlugIn are shown, but the Dialog of the sample does not show up. In the debugger i noticed that the call to pFnLoadExtension fails.
Second try:
Following the pdf "USING THE ADOBE EXTENSION SDK" (http://wwwimages.adobe.com/content/dam/Adobe/en/devnet/creativesuite/pdfs/CC14_Extension_S DK.pdf)
Package done as before
Activated PlayerDebugMode in HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adobe\CSXS.5
copied the zxp file to C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\CEP\extensions
Same result. I do not see anything of a extension.
I had no problems building and running the Sample Plugins though.
What am i doing Wrong?
How can i build and run a simple sample extension?
Any help appreciated.

Help About Illustrator shows:
Version 2014 1.0
18.1.0 (64 Bit)
From Samples-master\UI_Showcase\CSXS\manifest.xml i see:

OPM "build and run" error

Hi
I have a problem with OPM when I use "build and run".
I only get a message "The system cannot find the file specified" and nothing more. It has worked, but it used to open Google Chrome browser. Since I did not want this behaviour I uninstalled Google Chrome. But then I got this error instead.
I can run "build and debug" prefectly fine.
The problem is not related to a specific project.
I have also tried to reinstall OPM but the problem remains.
What file is it the system cannot find? Is there a way of finding this in a log somewhere?
How does the "build and run" command work? Is there a way of checking why it can not open the browser?
kind regards,
Michael

Hi Andrew
Just to add some more observations.
It seems that OPM doesn't look directly to the default browser setting. If I change the default browser, OPM does not directly recognize the new setting. OPM opens the previous selected default browser anyway.
I dont know if the setting is unique per project or if it is per OPM installation.
OPM seems to pick up the default browser, but then OPM caches this somewhere. Which caused problem for me when I uninstalled Google Chrome. OPM insisted on trying to start Google Chrome anyway.
When I now got Firefox working as default browser the problem solved it self. But when I selected IE as default browser, then when I ran OPM it still opened Firefox, and Firefox gave me the warning that it was not default browser.
So OPM does not always look at the default browser setting.
kind regards,
Michael

How to compile and run a .java file from another java program

hello,
can any one tell me how to compile and run a *.java* file from another java program which is not in same directory?

Well a smarter way of implementing this is by using a solution provided by Java Itself.
If you are using J2SE 6.0+ there is an in built solution provided along with JDK itself and inorder to go ahead with solution the below are set of API which you;d be using it for compiling Java Programs (Files)
http://java.sun.com/javase/6/docs/api/javax/tools/package-summary.html
How do i do that ??
Check out the below articles which would help you of how to do that
http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/java/library/j-jcomp/index.html
http://www.javabeat.net/javabeat/java6/articles/java_6_0_compiler_api_1.php

Now once we are done with compilation.In order to run a Specific class all you ought to do is create an object and its specific methods of a specified class included in the CLASSPATH which you can manage it easily by usage little bit reflections.
Hope that might help :)

How to compile and run a java program?

I am getting this error message, what to do?
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError:
Thanks for you help.
Ajay

Hello,
I believe that this error is caused because when you
compile and run a java program, you have to use the
same name that is next to public class. For example,
the program name is next to the word public class.
For example, if a program began like this:
public class Concat
then the name of the program in this case is Concat
and when you compile it you type: javac Concat.java
when you run it type: java Concat
depending on the name of your program.and depending on whether the class is in a package. And depending on what directory you are currently in.
Also depending on if you set your class path you might
have to type the above like this: jdk1.2.1\bin\javac
Concat.java to compile, and to run you would have to
type jdk1.2.1\bin\java Concat where you would replace
Concat with the name of your program and replace
jdk1.2.1 with the name of your version of java, that
is again if you do not have your classpath set. Hope
this helps.Your examples have nothing to do with whether the CLASSPATH is set--only with whether the PATH is set. And, it may not be jdkXXX\bin. The path to the JDK (in this case, to javac and java executables) could be anything. Classpath should be set on the command line. The OP probably did NOT set a classpath on the command line (preferred), or in the environment variables.
Also, make sure you did not forget to put:
public static void main(String[ ] args)
on the line underneath the line where it says "public
class Concat" where Concat is the name of your
program. Again, I hope this helps.Irrelevant (with the info we have from the OP so far). The error says that the JVM can't even find the class--not that the class doesn't have a main. The "main" referred to in the error message is within the JVM itself.
OP: Did you fix your problem? If not, what directory are your files in? Are they in a package? What command are you typing to get that error? That is, please tell us your entire command line.

Build and run Sun's PetStore1.3.1_02 application with BEA WebLogic Server 8.1.

build and run Sun's PetStore
1.3.1_02 application with BEA WebLogic Server 8.1.
5) In the same Command Prompt, compile PetStore using the commands:
cd c:\bea\user_projects\domains\petstore
setPetStoreEnv.cmd
cd c:\petstore1.3.1_02\src
ant
buildfile:build.xml does not exist!
build failed
could you tell me how ?
thank you

What we, BEA, provides is a patch to allow you to compile Pet Store for
WebLogic Server. It does not contain the source code.
Sun's Pet Store source code can be found at
http://developer.java.sun.com/developer/releases/petstore/petstore1_3_1_02.h
tml. See the requirements section of README.TXT
You need both in order to make it work.

Hi Nick,
I tried building the petstore1.3.1_02 application following theinstructions in the readme. But I got an error as the buil.xml file is
missing in the directory.....\petstore1.3.1_02\src.

I tried unzipping the downloaded again and for a petstore.domain.jar alongwith the readme. This jar does not contain the build.xml file.

Then I tried compiling one by one the component folder and found that the../xmldocuments/src folder has only a build.xml file but no source file...

Kinldy suggest what to do? Can you send me the zip via email?
P.S: I have checked the zip and the files are missing.

How can I run a java-application on starting of Windows 2000

How can I run a java-application without any user on starting of Windows 2000?
For example, if the computer is restarted and nobody enter into it yet, my java-application should run anyway.
How can I do that?

Hi, you have to put it in a Windows service.
To do this you have a program, Srvany.exe that allow to insert a .exe or .bat program in a Windows service.
For example, i develop a program, TomcatGuardian and i put it in a service because i need to run it in a server without Administrator logged in.

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.

Unable to build and run Javapetstore using Sun SDK

Hi,
There is a problem I�ve come across building and running JavaPetstore from Command Line using Ant.
It shows that Build is successful but there is an error message in very beginning:
�Unable to locate tools. jar. Expected to find it in C:\Program Files\Java\jre 1.5.0_11\lib\tools.jar�
But there is no such a file in jre-1.5.0_11 or previous versions.
The only place where the file with such name can be found is jdk\lib.All attempts to run end up with:
� BUILD FAILED.
C:\<PETSTORE_HOME>\bp-project\command-line-ant-task.xml:77;unable to find javac compiler;com.sun.tools.javac.Main is not on the class path.
Perhaps JAVA_HOME does not point to JDK.
Directories C:\Sun\SDK\bin and C:\Sun\SDK\jdk are in the PATH.
JAVA_HOME as a System variable is set up to C:\Sun\SDK\jdk.
Building and running other applications like a BluePrints or Samples brings to same result.
What can I do? I will post more information if needed.
Thank you in advance for help.
