MS-Word.EXE file invocation through java?

Is it possible to run winword.exe from the system through
java. Is there any way to invoke any application file without using the absolute path.

Hi
But before using Runtime make sure that u search for Winword.exe. And i had the same requirement for an application which needed Excel file to open up and what we did was search for an Excel Executable and then store the value is properties file and later on use that path for Openeing Excel Files.
Bye

public static void main(String args[])
Runtime r = Runtime.getRuntime();

How to create a .exe file for a java application

Hi, I want to create a .exe file for a java application I am developing so that I can schedule it to run at a particular time using Windows Scheduler on WinNT. Is there any way to accomplish this? Or is there any other way in which a Java application can be scheduled to run at a particular time on Windows everyday?

Create a .bat file and run that. Just have, in the .bat file:
java YourClassName Alternatively, you can use javaw YourClassName (without *.bat, just put it into Windows Scheduler like suggested above).
using javaw won't pop up any window...

Making '.exe' file/application using JAVA

Hi,
Is it possible to make an application(an exe file) using just Java, just as we in VB.If yes can you please give some idea how can we do that.
Thanks.....

To make a java application run from a click on an icon
you must create a Jar file as I've explained below:
Create a separate folder and place all the source code programs needed to run the application in it. You just need the ones with the .class extension. You don't need the ones with the .java extension.
Open up 'Notepad' and type in this line:
     Main-Class: your class that has the main method
You don't need the .class extension.
ex. If your main method is in a program called HelloWorld.class
type in :
Main-Class: HelloWorld
Make sure you hit the RETURN key at the end of the line. I forgot to do that which is why I spent four hours trying to get this to work!
Save this as: manifest.mf
and put in the same folder as above. Make sure it doesn't save as manifest.mf.txt
     Open MS-DOS.
CD change to the directory and folder you are in.
Type this in exactly as I have written:
jar cvfm0 myprogram.jar manifest.mf *.class
     This should put a Jar file in your folder. Just click on it and it should work.
Make sure the program doesn't need to take input from a command line, like DOS.
Otherwise it will do nothing. As long as your program creates a frame, window, button or something, it should work.
     To run the Jar file from DOS(for testing purposes) type:
java -jar myprogram.jar
     If you get an error stating that it can't find the main method class(like mine did), right click on the 'myprogram.jar' file that was created,
click on properties, then ZipMagic.
Open the 'manifest.mf' file and make sure
that 'Main-Class: yourprogramname' is in there.
     If you followed these directions you should be able to create an executable java file.
Below I've explained what the commands to create the Jar file mean.
jar: means you are creating a java archive file which acts like a ZIP file
c: means create a new jar file
v: means verbose which tells DOS to show the action it is doing
f: means that the files to choose are going to be typed in by a user(you at the Dos prompt)
m: means to use the manifest file that you specify
0: means that the file won't be compressed
To make a JAR file you only need the cfm letters.

Creation of a .exe file for a Java program

hi, myself is venu.
Can anyone help in creating a .exe file for a generated .class file.
Thanking you in advance.
bye

Hello,
There is a tool that you can download called JavaExe. It will make an executable of your java class. The class must have a main method. Just google for it and follow the instructions. I have tried it, it does work well.

Create .exe file for core java project

how can i create .exe file or wrapper for my core java project

cotton.m wrote:
To be honest with you this is going to be very difficult at best.
And I'm not sure it's entirely realistic or legal. You'll need to install Tomcat and MySQL and all your stuff...Haven't ever tried doing so, but I think it might be quite possible sollution...
There's a preconfigured version of Tomcat, that you simply unzip on the drive (so there's no nned of running installator).
If OP would use some MySQL server's clone, that needs no installation (some time ago i was looking for thing like thatand found couple of those).
All configuration (installing services etc.) as well as copying JSPs and other stuff to Tomcat dirs can be made with script files (.bat or whatever) or under another java application that will run all the commands...
As cotton.m wrote... if it works, it's going to be hell lot of work...

How do I call another exe file from a Java program?

Hi,
I am doing a simple IDE (text editor/interpreter) for a simple programming language we are developing. It will be submitted as our project for this semester. I created an exe file (in C) which will be used as the interpreter. How do I call the interpreter from my IDE? The interpreter should run when the user clicks a button (i.e. the "Run" button). I've tried the Java Runtime class but it doesn't work. Anyone who knows how to do it?
Thanks!

I first tried to do a simple program that calls system commands such as dir, cd <dir>, etc.
I do not have the exact code right now but as far as I can remember, here's what I wrote:
class Sample{
    public static void main(String args[]) throws IOException{
       BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(System.in));
       String command;
       while ((command = in.readLine()).equalsIgnoreCase("exit") == false){
          try{
            Runtime.getRuntime().exec(command);
          }catch(Exception e){
             System.err.println("Error: " + e);
      System.exit(0);
}

How to create a exe file from a Java application

hi,
i have developed an application in java,now i want to distribute it to my client, for this i need to build a .exe file out of this application.
i already have a jar file ,now can i convert a jar file to a exe file.
im trying this out with JSmooth project but im getting it right, so can anyone help me .

vishal j

if u use dos to run your app like
"java myapp"
u can create a shortcut link
in target wright java remove the path
just leave the file name without the extension,
like this Target: "java myapp"
when u click on appy u'll c that java gets its full path, thats fine
that works 4 me, ofcourse ur client needs to have JRE or JDK.

Best practice: tar file handling through java on Linux

What would be the better way to handle large size tar files (size may be more 1 GB) on Linux using Java? One way would be by using linux "tar" command through Runtime.exec, another option is through Java zip classes?
Btw, functionality I am doing is extract the large tar file, remove some files and tar it back to make a smaller size tar ball. I am not too sure if Java provides an api to remove individual files/directory from a zip file.

A tar file is not a zip file.
Java provides no classes that handle .tar files by default.
It does provide classes to handle the gzip compression that's often applied to .tar files (resulting in .tar.gz or .tgz files).
So you either search for a library that handles tar files in Java or invoke tar as an external process.

How to create .exe file of the java program you create?

This must be the qustions asked several time on the forums.So here it is again.
This sounds absurd to some developers here cause you'll say just create jar file and distributre to usr but sometimes there is not possiblity of having runtime environment in windows computers.So if we can bundle the enviroment and the setup together then packing into exe and then distribute like most of commercial java application sounds better.But the problem is how to do that?
Ok creating exe will increase the size but that doesn't matter,if there is any freeware tool to accomplish just that?
