How can i run a jar file as EXE on mouse click..

If it's the latter then you need to make the jar file including a manifest.
The manifest can be just a txt file with its content to be something like this:
Manifest-Version: 1.0
Ant-Version: Apache Ant 1.7.1
Created-By: Somebody
Main-Class: NameOfTheMainClass
Class-Path:
X-COMMENT: Main-Class will be added automatically by buildTo make the jar file including the manifest, use something like this in your command prompt (of course you must have compiled your java file(s) first):
jar cfm test.jar MANIFEST.txt NameOfTheMainClass.classAfter that you'd be able to run your application just by double clicking it.
If you're a NetBeans user, you can build your standalone application by right-clicking your project and then going to properties => run => and choosing a Main class. After that right click on that project and "Clean and Build", locate the jar file in the "dist" folder and double click it =]
Hope it helps,

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!

I will paste other's source code in my source code.
and then recomplie , build it.. but it is not my wish!
thanks for reading my sentence.

If you have a jar file with a class that you wish to use, then you must add the jar file to your class path ($CLASSPATH on unix, linux, etc. and %CLASSPATH% on Windows).
Then you can use the class normally, just as you would if it were not in the jar.
If you meant something else, you'll need to explain what you meant.

How do you convert a jar file into a java file, ?

how do you convert a jar file into a java file ?
I am new to Java ,but have a little experience in C++ and Visual Basic.
I want to edit and maybe create my own mobile games that are written or converted into jar files.
At the moment I am using Java NetBeans , and Easy Java( the java pad).
However the only solution I tried was to open the JAR file in winrar and see that its made up of png picture files,
midi music files and class files. Unfortunately when I uncompressed the JAR file , there was NO java file to be seen and the JAVA editors Do not show the class file like a Java file. So why is there no extension Java file in the mobile JAR game ?

Are you saying you want to take existing games and modify them? If the creators allow you to modify their source, then they'll provide you with that source (the .java files). If you're allowed to add things but not modify, you don't need .java files. Just documentation, which, again, the creators should be providing.
Or are you saying you want to create your own games and distribute them in jar files? If so, there's no need to turn jars into .java.

How can i rename a jar file using only java code

i have tried everything i can think of to accomplish this but nothing works.

In case you geniuses haven't realized I said I tried everything I can think of not that I tried everything. So help or shut up I realize that I didn't try everything but if you can't figure it out either DO NOT POST.
And the question is how can i rename a jar file using java code? As it says in the title. Read.I would tell you to use the File.renameTo method, but surely that would have been obvious, and you would have tried it already? But maybe you didn't. You were kind of lacking in details in what you tried.
And yes, I am a genius. Just don't confuse "genius" with "mind-reader".

How do I get a jar file to run directly?

I got it to work, as in the jar file runs fine from the command thing. However, I tried getting an html file to run it, but it just wasn't working.
This may be because I only had it incorporate the applet, and there ARE other classes, but I really don't know any html and I wouldn't know how to include those. Also, I don't know if it's an issue, but I don't think it's very plausible to have the applet both display things (my program has a GUI of sorts) and have the main method at the same time, given my program structure.
What can I do? Are there other ways besides creating an html document to run an applet? Is there a way I could include my other classes if that's the problem? I'd really like for it to be able to run in an internet browser- otherwise, my program probably won't reach as many people.

I got it to work, as in the jar file runs fine from
the command thing. However, I tried getting an html
file to run it, but it just wasn't working. To run a class with a main method you just use JRE. To run an applet you should use a browser with a Java plugin or the AppletViewer from JDK. For more info see this: http://java.sun.com/applets/jdk/1.4/index.html
This may be because I only had it incorporate the
applet, and there ARE other classes, but I really
don't know any html and I wouldn't know how to
include those. See the above link for some samples.

but I don't think it's very plausible to have the
