How to include and call exe file in jar?

Hi, I am writing a Java application that calls an external exe file to accomplish some tasks. In order to make the program more user friendly, I would like to package the Java application and the exe file into one JAR file and distribute that JAR file to users. I tried to package all these files by running the following command:
jar cmf manifest.txt java_class_file exe_fileThe manifest.txt contains only the following entry:
Main-Class: java_class_fileHowever, when I execute the program with java -jar bundle.jar, the JVM complains that it cannot find the exe file. (Everything works fine when I run the original class file with java)
Would anyone kindly teach me how to do this?
Thanks in advance!

You cannot call an exe file in a jar.
You can have the jar unpack the exe and then run it however.

How to open and play .exe file in Mac?

I am a new Mac user from of course Windows. I have a CD product catalogue which comes in a .exe format. There seemed no way that I can view the contents in Mac.
Does anyone have any solution for this?
Any help is most appreciate

As Thomas A Reed points out, an exe file is a windows application. I don't know why a product catalog would be in an exe file but I suppose it's possible. It seems more likely that the exe file is an application that either downloads the catalog or opens and displays a disk file containing the catalog; in the latter case you may already have the actual product catalog on your disk drive. Your might try using Spotlight to search for files with names containing key words related to your product catalog name. You also could use Spotlight to search file contents for key words you may recall from the catalog contents. Finally, is this possible: Use your old Windows PC or borrow one and run your "product catalog." While it is running, check for an option to export the information you need to a file in a format (say, text) that is readable on your Mac.

Include and call an .exe file inside my jar file

Hi.
I want to include an exe file and call it inside my jar file. this is the code.
InputStream is = getClass().getResourceAsStream("/native/my.exe");
          int[] line = new int[is.available()];
          File myFile = File.createTempFile("my","exe");
          myFile.deleteOnExit();
          myFile.setExecutable(true);
          FileOutputStream out = new FileOutputStream(myFile.getAbsolutePath());
          int i = 0;
          int c;
          while((c=is.read()) != -1){
               line=c;
               i++;
          is.close();
          for(int j= 0;j<line.length;j++)
               out.write(line[j]);
          out.close();
So i store it in my temp folder. Than i run
String myFileLocation = myFile.getAbsolutePath();
p = rt.exec(myFileLocation);
Everything goes fine, but the behaviour of the .exe file is not the same. I mean when i run the commands
PrintWriter writer = new PrintWriter(p.getoutputStream());
writer.println("command");
the behaviour is not the same. What goes wrong.

But to load the xml file I need to create a File objectIf this is true then you will not be able to load the XML file, since a jar entry is not a File object and cannot be represented as one.
However if you get rid of whatever it is that loads your XML file and replace it by more standard JAXP processing, you should be able to parse an InputStream that reads from the jar entry. You know how to get that so it should not be a problem.

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

How to streamline and remove duplicate files on my HD before I backup?

How to streamline and remove duplicate files on my HD before I backup?
is there a good program or freeware that can automate and isolate when I have
duplicate files hiding in the many folders on my Drive... Yes, in a perfect world
I should know better than having a Drive that is not perfectly organized
I think there is something called SpringCleaning for windows
is there something like this for Mac?
Time machine won't let you remove something after you realized you backed
up two of the same files... Thanks for ideas

+is there a good program or freeware that can automate and isolate when I have

You should back up your drive with Time Machine before you delete any files in case you make a mistake.
Tidy Up! - 1.3.2

+Time machine won't let you remove something after you realized you backed

Click on the Time Machine browser icon on the dock. Locate the duplicate file you wish to delete and highlight it. Click on the button with the gear on and choose Delete "all backups of".

How to include more than 12 files in a new PDF document?

I have a Adobe PDF Pack, and when I click on crating a new PDF document, they say that I cannot combine more than 12 files...!
And I want to have a document of hundreds of pages!
Someone can help me?
Pleeeeaaase!!!!!!

Hi Hisami,
Thank you very, very much!
It is very useful what you explain.
One only question, since I have the trying version of Acrobat Pro: how many files can you combine at the time with it?
May be it depends on the files size.
I tried yesterday to combine 50 files at the time and it just blocked everything...
Thanks a lot!
Have a very good day.

created by H.Spector in Adobe PDF Pack (formerly CreatePDF) - View the full discussion
To combine more than 12 files into a single PDF file:
1. Combine file 1 to file 12 then name it (combined 1 for example)
2. Combine file 13 to file 24 then name it (combined 2 for example)
3. Keep doing those steps #1 and #2 then combine "combined 1, Combine 2.....Combine 12).
Another way is to use Adobe Acrobat. Please download Acrobat XI Pro Trial version from www.adobe.com or you can upgrade your subscription to Acrobat Plus(please see more information about Acrobat Plus subscription at https://www.acrobat.com/acrobatplus/en/home.html?trackingid=JPZKR).
In Acrobat XI Pro:
1. Launch Acrobat
2. Select "File" menu > Create > Combine Files into a Single PDF
3. Click "Add Files" button at top left corner
4. After adding your files click "Combine" button at the bottom of the dialog.
Thank you
Hisami

File Lock - How to lock and unlock a file ? Can we do that for an FTP File?

Hi All,
I like to retrieve a file from the FTP server using Apache Commons Net libraries.
for example if the file size is 20MB. When the file is in the progress of copying or transferring from the FTP server i need to lock the local file which is in our local directory so that no other process will use the same local file which is in the process of copying otherwise partially copied files will be used by another process.
the file should be locked when it was in the progress of copying from the server. I have an automatic process which will access file objects at certain time and try to process the files.
I like to know the simplest and easiest way to lock and unlock a file object locally which is trying to copy a file from the FTP server which is of huge size.
And also i like to know how to lock and unlock a file in general?
Thanks,
J.Kathir

we can set it read only only when it complete finishing the writing.
can we able to make the file as read-only while transferring data to file.
How to achieve it ? pls give me some sample code

As said by my fellow posters Java Devolopment Environment (Except Microsoft implementation of JVM,this is no longer supported by MS themseleves) does not provide an built-in support to serve this cause.
If you are looking to devolop a custom based solution the below is a good place to start with where end user is talking about Java <=> JNI <=> Native <=> COM connectivity.

What do you mean by "where to put them" ? What do you want to put anywhere ?
Have you read Peter's comment in brackets ? Perhaps you have a classpath problem ?
