Making Clickable Executable

After I have created a program, how can I make it click-executable (meaning, I can click an desktop icon and it will run). Do I need to create a batch file(Windows)? How do I support Macintosh users?

Make it an executable Jar file using the Jar tool

UWL workitems become non clickabl/executable

Hi,
We have a huge problem with UWL workitems that become non-clickable/executable overnight.
This problem only applies to the Workitems that use the Webflow principles (BIT603, so using xHandlerLauncher in UWL config file)
In the portal logging, we sometimes see the following errors/warnings when this problem occurs:

No logical system id available for backend system <EUP-300>
So it seems that the link is not shown due to the fact that a logical system could not be found for the given UWL system.
Moreover, sometimes we have people logging on to the portal where the task is executable and for others not. This might be caused by 2 virtual systems we have in our landscape where the connectivity/logical system is correctly defined or buffered for 1 virtual server but on the other it is not!
Can someone please help us with this
Many thanks

[b]Simple Deploy problem- making an Executable JAR File ...PLEASE HELP [/b]

Hi all,
I Trying to deploy a simple J2SE app by making an Executable JAR File, however I don'r understand how to add a valid value to the Main Class field.
I followed the following description within Jdev, after creating a Deployment Profile:
Deploying an Executable JAR File
You can make your simple archive or J2EE Client Module into an executable JAR file that you can launch with the java command.
To deploy an executable JAR file:
1) Select and right-click the simple archive or client icon in the Navigator to display the context menu.
2) Choose Properties.
3) Click JAR Options in the tree.
4) Select Include Manifest File (META-INF/MANIFEST.MF).
5) In the Main Class field, enter the fully qualified name of the application class that is to be invoked.
7) Click OK.
8) Launch the executable JAR file from the command line:
java -jar myapp.jar
where myapp represents your JAR file name.
Like I said it's in 5) I'm doing something worng
My deploy-file (PlotPrint.deploy) looks the following:
<?xml version = '1.0' encoding = 'windows-1252'?>

Yes that was the problem so I have changed the element mainClass to

But now another probem has occured, since I get the following error when run the jar-file (When I run the app from within Jdev there are no warnings or errors).

It's the same problem in all three exceptions (the exactly the same code), however I was a bit to quick this is the line (the line before I process the xml doc :-)

responseData = new Vector();
responseData = test_NNE35_SOAP.getXSDdoc();
Element elements = ( (org.w3c.dom.Element)responseData.elementAt(0) ); (line 42)
Please help I don't understad why I receive this exception, since I included the xmlparserv2.jar file, and don't even have a workaround :-(

Making clickable links in GUI?

Hi,
Well, I'm making an GUI application and I wanted to have a clickable link to my website, I thought using HTML would be a good bet, but it doesn't work, I was thinking of using util but I'm not exactly sure..

Swing related questions should be posted in the Swing forum.
JEditorPane provide some basic support for loading HTML pages. Read the API for more info.
You can invoke IE as follows:
** Here is a pure Windows solution
** Run the code and you will be taken to a tutorial that may provide
** a more generic solution
public class WindowsFileProtocolHandler
     public static void main(String[] args)
          throws Exception
          String[] cmd = new String[4];
          cmd[0] = "cmd.exe";
          cmd[1] = "/C";
          cmd[2] = "start";
          cmd[3] = "http://www.javaworld.com/javaworld/javatips/jw-javatip66.html";
//          cmd[3] = "will.xls";
//          cmd[3] = "mailto:";
//          cmd[3] = "a.html";
//          cmd[3] = "file:/c:/java/temp/a.html";
          Process process = Runtime.getRuntime().exec( cmd );

Making an executable file

Does anyone knows how can i create an executable file using java?
i want to do an application that anyone who has windows can do double click in a file made with java and my application begins,
thank you!

.jar ara java executables but you can not double
click them to initialize them, you need to go to a
console a put: java name.jarDepends on how it your host platform is set up, on most windows, Linux & MacOS X computers with the JRE installed, JARs are double clickable.
but what i need is a EXE file: name.exe and when you
double click the application beginsYou can use webstart (does not create an exe, but does create an double clickable icon), or shell scripts, or you can just search the forum, it has been answered so many times before. It is asked more than once a day!

Making an executable

How do you make an executable from a java program.
I use kawa.
Thanks!

Dmb,
Can you please explainf what is meant by :
Adding a Main-Class attribute to a jar's manifest will
make that jar double clickable.
Thank youSure, create an ordinary text file, and put this in it:
Manifest-Version: 1.0
Main-Class: MyMainEntryClass
That is, list the class that has the static main method you want to start with, including packages as necessary. com.foo.MyMain, etc
Then when you jar up your class files, specify this as your manifest file.
So assume you save the above file as foo.manifest, you would do
jar cvfm foo.jar foo.manifest *.class

Problem running my program only after making an executable jar...

Hi everyone,
I am having trouble running my program after creating an executable jar. The program runs fine until
it is supposed to open a specific JFrame. I get the following error message as soon as the frame tries
to open:
Exception in thread "AWT-EventQueue-0" java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: org.apache.xerces.parsers.SAXParser.<init>(Lorg/apache/xerces/xni/parser/XMLParserConfigurat
ion;
Has anyone ever seen this before?
The strange thing is, this does not happen when I build and run the project under Eclipse.
Any help or tips would be appreciated!

Any help or tips would be appreciated!Make sure you are using the same version of Java as you use with Eclipse.

Making clickable buttons to open xml images in gallery

I want to do an xml grid image gallery similar to http://www.republicofcode.com/tutorials/flash/as3gridgallery/
However, instead of using thumbnails, I already have images on my site that I want to make clickable buttons to open the images in the gallery...how would I script these buttons?
[link removed by moderator]

If you want it to be similar to the one you link then use the images in the grid like in the one you linked.

Making java executable as a service in solaris10

Does the OS know the notion of "service", or is it an imported term from Windows?

Error in making RT executable file

Dear Sir,
I had build a project in Labview 2011 version and now I have upgraded to labview 2013 version. I want to make an executable file and deploy onto RT Target but when I start building the exe file following message appears
Detail Disable dialog.vi and Not found dialog .vi does not support the current target.
Error 1003 occured at AB_Get_detailed_brokenVI_Message.vi and AB_Targetfile.lvclasspen_top_level_vis.vi
Please suggest me some solution as soon as possible.

Did you understand Gerd's reply? RT (Real-Time) targets run a special "Real-Time" Operating System, specifically not Windows, and do not support the usual user interaction via the Front Panel. You may have run across the term "Head-less System", which means a system, running a program, but without user interaction.
When you build an application for Windows, you end up with an "executable" having the extension ".exe". This is designed to be started by selecting the application and getting it to run, for example, by double-clicking it (the "default" action). In contrast, building a stand-alone executable for an RT system gives you a file with the extension ".rtexe" -- such a file (to the best of my knowledge) can only be executed by being "marked" on the Target as the "Start-up application". The idea is when you turn your Real-Time Target on, it automatically loads the (single) Executable that you built, and starts running it "head-lessly".
Hope that clarifies things.

I have problems making an executable

I have problems for generate the .exe on labview 5.1.
I have a main program that makes calls for other five programs. All of them
are in the same library (llb), so in the build aplication window I add a
dynamic VI. When a press BUILD it star to build the aplication but after
some seconds it display an error:
"Error 1 ocurred at invoke node in distchg and save.VIs.vi dist build llb
image.vi dist build app image.vi build aplication.vi"
Do any one has an idea for solving this problem.
Thank you all.

Alejandro,
you may want to try and do a 'mass compile' also.

If someone can help me here, I'd reallly appreciate it. Would be great.
Thanks in advance,

well, i didn't build the tile marix in the end. Instead, I calculated Euclidean distance between the hex grids center and a mouse Cursor point using nearest neighebor algorithm.
    public int CursorToGrid (int x, int y) {
        int grid_index = -1;
        double temp = Integer.MAX_VALUE;
        double distance[] = new double [board_size*board_size];
        // find the nearst neighbor using Euclidean distance
        for (int i = 0; i < board_size * board_size; i++) {
            distance[i] = Math.sqrt(Math.pow(grids[0]-x,2)+Math.pow(grids[i][1]-y,2));
System.out.println(distance[i]);
if (distance[i] < temp) {
temp = distance[i];
grid_index = i;
// check if a click outsite the hex map
if ( distance[grid_index] > radius) {
grid_index = 10000;
System.out.println("the grid " + grid_index);
return grid_index;
works:D
