Installing a java application

Hi all!
I have just finished my Java program and would like to deploy it to others. Have someone some experience in installers?
I have my java code in a nice jar file and some other files needed (images, sounds, configfiles...) and would like to find a program that could create an install file (.exe) that I can send to friends. This install program should create a .exe file of my application that my friends can double click on to start. It doesn't mather if it includes the JVM or if it compiles it (removes cross-platform ability). Is this possible? I have seen a program called InstallWiz Pro, does anyone know if this program can do this?
All pointers and tips are appreciated!

you can you the install AnyWhere tool also.
This require license, however you can download a trail version to test your JAR.
Good Luck.

Installing a Java Application under Win2000

Hi,
I would like to automate the installation of a Java Application under Windows 2000, so that the user is prompted for a destination folder and the application appears in his Start->Games folder.
Shoud I use install Shield or can I use something java based for this purpose. In any case can you point me to material on the web that discuss these types of topics.
Thanks.

ZeroG software has a great Installer for Java. It creates installers for Unix, Windows, MacOS and others. http://www.zerog.com.
They have a free installer also; its light on features but has worked really well for us for simple gui apps.

How to install a java application onto my mobile phone?

Hi,
I'm trying to install a simple hello world application onto my Samsung SGH-X650. I'm using WAP, because I have no other options. But when I try to download the jar file, I get an "unsupported file format" error. When I try the jad file, it displays as a text file. However, downloading from websites (ie. getjar.com) works (usually). Additionally when I put the jad file I downloaded from getjar to my own webpage, I get them as text files too...
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance,

(((My phone doesn't know about Bluetooth, and the data cable is too expensive regarding that I don't use it every day, I just sometimes download a 20 kb file like a java app.)))
But I managed to set the MIME type, now I get "invalid JAR"... I'm trying to install the JAR generated by NetBeans. In theory, CLDC and MIDP versions are ok.
From google:
"Samsung, for some strange reason, does not allow installing .jars over cable or bluetooth or any other way than over Internet connection."

Sun Java Application Server - Domain and Node agent stop automatically

Hi,
We have installed Sun Java Application server 8.1 in a local zone on Solaris 10. The installation was successful.
A default domain (domain1) was created. We have deployed a sample application too.
The problem is that the domain and node-agent stop automatically. And need to be restarted from asadmin start-domain command.
Not sure why this problem is occurring. One solution given in Sun Java System AS 8.1 EE Troubleshooting Guide was to add these 2 lines in the /etc/inittab file to restart the domain and node-agent whenever the system re-boots.
das:3:respawn:/opt/SUNWappserver/bin/asadmin start-domain user admin passwordfile /opt/SUNWappserver/password.txt domain1
das:3:respawn:/opt/SUNWappserver/bin/asadmin start-node-agent user admin passwordfile /opt/SUNWappserver/password.txt node-agent-name
Pls help me if I can change this inittab file from the local zone and if changing this file has any implications on the other zones on Solaris 10.
Else is there any other way to resolve this problem?
Any help would be highly appreciated.
Thankyou.

One thing not clear from the post was,
* when it is going down automatically.
* Are you facing the same problem even after starting through the asadmin
* If so, Post the server.log from "domains/logs" during the starup.
If you want to bring it up with system reboot, You need to have a startup script for that in init.d and have the links to rc2/3.d.

Update JVM for Sun Java Application Server8

Hi:
I am wondering how do I update the JVM for an already installed Sun Java application Server 8. Does any one know how to do this? Thanks

Hi Experts,
Need some good links and documentataion for "Sun Java Application Server". When I am making a serch for this I am getting links to Glassfish.
So please help on the documentation for Sun Java Application Server .
Regards.This is because Glassfish is the same product as Sun Java Application Server in that regard.
The versioning goes as follows:
Kiva Enterprise Server 1.x
Kiva Application Server 2.x
Netscape Application Server 4.x
NetDynamics 5.x
SunOne/iPlanet Application Server 6.x (merger of NAS4 and ND5)
Sun Java Application Server 7.x = SunONE/iPlanet Application Server 7.x
Sun Java Application Server 8.x = Java Enterprise Server Application Server 8.x
Sun Java Application Server 9.x ~= Glassfish 2.x

Then you surf to www.example.com and the page on that site calls my application installed on windows. Is this possible?

Yes. With Webstart, you can create a link that'll run a Webstart-distributed app when clicked. "Autoclicking" this link using Javascript should be easy.

If you had noticed correctly this question was posted and answered by me.
The answer I posted here has also been confirmed by SAP.
I posted the answer to help others who might face similar issues. There is therefore no need to add other solutions which may confuse other administrators who may have a real professional need to resolve similar problems.
Furthermore I do not think that a SAP Technical Consultant would wait 4 hours before concluding that there might me something wrong with a Java installation which seem to hang the phase "starting apps".
I am not asking for any points I just hope my answer will help others with similar problems.

Installer for JAVA application and JVM

Hi all,
I want to install a java application(server side). I used free version of InstallAnywhere to do this before. But since my installer may need more complicated operations, like search the registery and detect if they have installed the JVM and Tomcat. if not, suggest them to install, etc. My company do not have the enterprise version of InstallAnywhere, but the InstallShields.
I am not sure which tool I should use for such installer, InstallShield or InstallAnywhere/ or any other suggestions?
jing

I find this link as a good source to know what programs there are for a given tool:
http://sys-con.com/java/readerschoice2002/
Click on the "Best Java Installation Tool" link, and check if any of those programs can do what you need.
InstallShield and InstallAnywhere seems to be the most used programs.

I can't find Cocoa-Java Application after Xcode Version 3.2.1 install..

Can anyone tell me what happened to all the different Java Applications and Applet selections when File/New Project is selected from Xcode version 3.2.1 64bit? I can't seem to find it. Prior to installing this new version of Xcode, I had full access to all the different Java suites, now I have nothing. Please help, coding seems to compile, I just want to have the choices there for learning purposes. For example:
Ant-based Application jar
Java AWT Applet
Java AWT Application
Java Swing Applet
etc.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I had just read in the Iphone Developer section that:
+Important: You will need to re-install the iPhone SDK or Snow Leopard if you plan on developing iPhone applications after upgrading your Mac to Snow Leopard and installing Xcode 3.2.+
Would somebody be able to give me installation instructions on installing the http://developer.apple.com/iphone/download.action?path=%2Fiphone%2Fiphonesdk_3.1.2__final%2Fiphone_sdk_3.1.2_with_xcode_3.2.1__snow_leopard_10m2003.dmg.. It looks like at this point I should have kept the previous version I was using and should have done a custom install. Am I allowed to create a folder called /Developer2 and put an older archived version of Xcode in there? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Best Regards,

Changed - Apple has this to say about that:
"The Java templates in the Organizer (Window > Organizer Cmd-Ctrl-O) are still present, however all but one of the Java project templates have been removed.
The JNI project template is the only Java project template that remains, because it builds a native library. The template has also been re-written to be a full graphical Swing application that calls into the native Mac OS X address book. I'd highly encourage anyone who is interested in JNI development on the Mac to check it out.
The only additional developer content we ship for Java is the source and javadoc for the JDK itself, and does not include any templates."
-=-=-=-
To create Java projects w/Xcode 3.2.1 as an example, you must first open Organizer by choosing Window > Organizer. At the bottom of the Organizer window, you will see three buttons.
OrganizerBottomBar
Click the + button on the left and choose New From Template > Java Templates to create a Java project. Click the right button at the bottom of the Organizer to show the editor. Use the editor to write your code.

How to allow a Java application to run on any PC without installing jdk?

I'm doing this program that would retrieve infomation of the PC and send it to the server. In order to do that, i have to email the application to all these PCs. The problem is that some of these PCs may not have JRE or jdk to run the application. Cos, i thought that Java was Write once Run anywhere. I've tried to jar and run it on a PC with no JRE and stuff, How can this be done, I know that using applet is an option, but is there any other way. Pls help me, thanx!

you need a java virtual machine to run a java application, either it is embedded in the browser ( a native or plug-in ) and you can run your applet in the browser, or, if you don't want your app to be an applet, you have to install a jre on the PC...no other way, i'm afraid
so write once, run anywhere, provided there's a jre anywhere ! it is the jvm that handles differences between os, and you need to handle that difference somewhere, don't you !

Installing a desktop application on a non-java machine

Hi,
I want to create an installable for my Java application (to be run on both Linux and Windows). However, I don't want to have my customers go through the process of installing Java first.
Is there any solution to this. I have read about InstallAnywhere, but cannot download it as it is huge and I have a very slow connection.
Thanks
Luanne

LuanneIf you want to make your executable very small AND you are not using a GUI (any swing/awt stuff) then you can get JET. Jet produces windows executables that are very small if you don't use Swing. Otherwise you have to have the JRE installed.
Sorry, if you write a java application and don't compile it to native code with something like JET, then you MUST INSTALL a JRE. There is no way around it.
Programs like Install anywhere just make the install automatic, but you still have to drag an entire JRE with your program. Even if your program is only like 30k. Sorry, but that's the way it works. Windows is the same way, you need the multi megabytes of dlls to get even a simple windows program to work sometimes.
