How do I create an executable file?

How exactly do I create an executable file from my .java file?

I've tried to run it from the DOS prompt two ways.
If I type "java -jar Plist" (Plist is the .jar file
name, the .java file name, and the class name), It
says...
Exception in thread "main" java.util.zip.ZipException:
The system cannot find the file specifiedThat seems pretty clear - there is no file called "Plist" and that's it. "The system cannot find the file specified."
If I type "java -jar Plist.jar", It says...
Exception in thread "main"
java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: Plist
Two questions...
1. What am I doing wrong??Two possibilities, I'd put my money on the first one:
1. That jar file of yours really doesn't contain a class called Plist. Check the contents with "jar -tf Plist.jar". The file Plist.class (along with other stuff you put in the jar) should be listed.
2. If it is listed, your classpath may be set wrong - can you run the app with "java -classpath Plist.jar Plist"?
2. Once I get this .jar deal to work, will I be able
to run it on other computers? It seems to be tied in
with some of the Java utilities and files on my
computer. Is it independent like a .exe file or not?No, it's not independent like a .exe file. It's a lot more independent than any .exe file. Ever tried running them on a Mac? Linux? Solaris? Anything else than windoze? On a windoze system that's older than recommended, like on win95 instead of 2k?
The independence of java class files packed in jars is on the level of xml, pdf and postscript files - you can use them everywhere. To be more exact, on every system that has a "viewer" for those files; in java's case the "viewer" is the runtime environment. Once it's installed the files can be run like other programs on the system.

  • Create an executable file

    I have created and build a project. How can I create an executable file to run the whole package?

    In general, you can't. Java programs have to be run under the jvm so you have to run the java command every time.
    You can package your project as a runnable jar file. How you run it depends on your opperating system.

  • How do I include all the necessary files required for the DAQ Assistant to create an executable file?

    I am creating an executable file to run on a computer that does not have LabVIEW installed.  The problem is that I am using the DAQ Assistant.  The VI Hierarchy is rather large, and I am not sure how to include all of the required files to eliminate the error "The full development version of LabVIEw is required to fix the errors."  Attached is an image of the VI Hierarchy.

    Yes I did create an installer.  See image installernoDAQmx.jpg  
    When this is all I do I get an error that subvi is not included, a list of about 6 subvi's.  To eliminate this error I manually add the subvi from the dependencies list to the my computer list. This allows me to add them as support files.  This eliminates the error about subvi not included, but then I get the error I spoke of earlier.
    If I include the DAQmx I get an error.  See image installererror.jpg
    Not sure what MAX refers to?

  • How we can create the batch file to download the data in from URL in ssis

    hi,
    any one help on one the below requirement.
    i have to create one batch file to download the report(reports is in csv format) from URL...
    requirement should be like this...
    1. we have some reports is there in the URL..
    2.when ever we execute the url, the report should be download and save it to the local folder.
    3. this requirement i have to write in the batch file
    should any one let me know how we can create the batch file for the above requirement.

    Hi Priya.N,
    If you use SQL Server Reporting Services for reporting, you can use Visakh’s suggestion to create a script file which calls Reporting Services Web Service to render a report in CSV format and save a batch file to the destination folder, and then create a
    batch file to run the rs.exe utility which can executes the .rss script file. For more information, please see:
    Report Server Web Service
    ReportExecutionService.Render Method
    rs Utility (rs.exe) (SSRS)
    If you use other reporting tools, it depends on the reporting functionality and this requirement may be not achieved.

  • How Do I create Windows Form file in VS and add the form to my VS project?

    C#, How Do I create Windows Form file in VS and add the form file to my VS project by using C# code?
    I like to create a Windows Form file into my VS Win Form project by using C#. I have the path and the file name.
    I need a Win Form with FileName.cs, FileName.Designer.cs, FileName.resx, and FileName (as you see it VS by adding a Win Form manually by using VS)
    Rune Brattas

    You cannot create a Form from code at run time. 
    For one thing, the user running your application will, almost certainly, not have  a copy of Visual Studio to hand with which to build anything.  (Not that you actually need 'Studio at all; Notepad and csc.exe are all you actually
    need), but that's another story).
    You can do this with an awful lot of pain, using the innards of the compiler from iside your own program, compiling the new Form's source code on the fly and then executing the resulting assembly within your application.  IMHO, that's a simply terrifying
    prospect especially as the code you will be compiling will be on someone else's machine and over which you will have absolutely no control.  If you're lucky, they'll spell something wrong and it won't compile.
    The "usual" way to do this sort of thing is to create additional, "plug-in" forms as library assemblies and have your program load and execute these at run-time.

  • How can I create a jar file

    Hello!
    How can a create a jar file?
    I want to run an application just clicking in a icon.
    How can I do this?
    Thanks a lot.
    K�tia.

    Get to the command prompt
    change directories to the directory where the main class resides.
    Open your text editor and type the following in it:
    Manifest-Version: 1.0
    Main-Class: NameOfMainClass //Just name without ".class"!!!
    Created-By: Your Name Here
    Save this file as whatever you want to name it with ".mf" as the extension.
    Then go back into the command prompt and type the following:
    jar cfm "NameOfJarFile".jar "NameOfManifestFile".mf *.class
    (without the quote marks of course)
    Hit "Enter"
    This will jar it up and make it executable.
    If you have any images associated with the program you can add them in the same way as above. Just add *.gif or *.jpg after the *.class portion.
    Good luck!

  • How can I create an Excel file?

    Hi,
    How can I create an Excel file using Forms 6i.
    What I'm doing is to create a file using TEXT_IO package an name it .XLS. If a read it double-clicking over the file, it opens Ok but If I open directly from Excel it opens the Convert dialog.
    I need to create an excel file as it was made from within Excel.
    Thank in advance,
    Benjamin

    When you are talking about subfiles, are you talking like Package contents of an application?
    Terminal application in Applications -> Utilities can give a command line grasp of all your files using the du command.
    Type
    man du
    when entering the terminal, followed by the enter key.
    Note, by default the terminal opens at the Home folder.   To navigate outside the Home folder enter "/Volumes/name of mounted drive/folder/subfolder" as your path.  If there are spaces in the name, putting quotes around the whole path can help.    If you end your du command with a > name.txt a text file with the name name.txt will be plugged into your Home directory.  That you can open with Excel and parse by /es thus giving you everything in Excel.

  • How do i create one source file that feeds two users on the same pro book?

    how do i create one source file/folder of photos that feeds two users on the same pro book?

    Well you can do exactly the same with a folder of photos, just put in the Users/Shared folder.
    Iphoto is a mite more complex than this. It's a database and so there's a bit more involved.
    For iPhoto 09 (version 8.0.2) and later:
    What you mean by 'share'.
    If you want the other user to be able to see the pics, but not add to, change or alter your library, then enable Sharing in your iPhoto (Preferences -> Sharing), leave iPhoto running and use Fast User Switching to open the other account. In that account, enable 'Look For Shared Libraries'. Your Library will appear in the other source pane.
    Any user can drag a pic from the Shared Library to their own in the iPhoto Window.
    Remember iPhoto must be running in both accounts for this to work.
    If you want the other user to have the same access to the library as you: to be able to add, edit, organise, keyword etc.
    Quit iPhoto in both accounts. Move the Library to the Users / Shared Folder
    (You can also use an external HD set to ignore permissions, a Disk Image or even partition your Hard Disk.)
    In each account in turn: Double click on the Library to open it. (You may be asked to repair the Library Permissions.) From that point on, this will be the default library location. Both accounts will have full access to the library, in fact, both accounts will 'own' it.
    However, there is a catch with this system and it is a significant one. iPhoto is not a multi-user app., it does not have the code to negotiate two users simultaneously writing to the database, and trying will cause db corruption. So only one user at a time, and back up, back up back up.

    Make the tab control a control and not an indicator. If you want to write
    to it you need to create a local variable.

    Let us assume you have all the data from the jsp form in an java bean object..
    Now you want a xml file. This can be acheived in 2 ways
    1. Write it into a file using java.io classes. Say you have a class with name
    write("<name>"+obj.getName+</name>);
    bingo you have a flat file with the xml
    2. Use data binding to do the trick
    will recommend JiBx and Castor for the 2nd option
