Starting a program from an icon icon

Is it possible to create a application which is started by an executable icon, and if so how do you do this?

If by application you mean run a java program then sure. Just create a .bat file that has the command
java <your_java_class>
Then create a shortcut for it on your desktop. From there you can go to the shortcut's properties and select change icon.

Running a java program from an icon

I want to run my program from an icon on my desktop. I have a .bat file that I've built a shortcut to and it works.MY GUI program does display and run when I click on the icon. The problem is that the DOS window also shows up behind my GUI.
Is there anyway to prevent the DOS window from showing? Or is there another way to run a Java program without resorting to a DOS command line or running it through FORTE or another IDD?

Chris's solution worked well, with one small problem. Once my GUI starts, it takes up the whole screen. Normally when I run it, it appears as a small window.
not a big problem, I can reduce it easily after it starts. But does anyone know a way to make it come up in the reduced size it norally comes up in when I run it from my IDE?

I have installed Adobe Premiere Pro cc on my laptop, but I cant find a way to start the program. No Icon, and it is not showing up in the start meny. It is showing up in add/remove programs, but nt anywhere else.

If you are using a Mac, simply hit Command-Spacebar to bring up Spotlight Search. Begin typing the name of the application and when you see what you are looking for, press enter. You should get a hit by the second or third letter you type. Great way to launch apps on computers that you are not familiar with.
Windows 7 and 8 should have something similar. I think you simply press the Windows key and begin typing. Press enter when you see a match.
Both Mac and Windows search tools can be customized to search for applications, files, emails and so forth. For Windows, look for Taskbar and Start Menu Properties. For Mac, go to Preferences Spotlight. Turn off items you know you won't need to speed up searches.

Starting a program from the shell into a vncserver running on 5901

I started a vncserver via `vncserver -geometry 1792x1008 -alwaysshared :1` and within it, I am running xfce4 just fine. I would like to start a program from a shell outside of the vncserver. I tried the following but got errors. What am I missing?
% DISPLAY=1.0 lxterminal
(lxterminal:17489): Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display: 1.0

Try
$ export DISPLAY=:1
$ lxterminal
That works over here.

Starting Windows program from APEX

Is it possible to start a Windows program lets say from a button in an Oracle Application. If so any suggests would be great

This didn't quite work. I put the following into the Page section: HTML Header
<SCRIPT Language="JScript">
function runcmd() {
File="C:\Program Files\FMS\Sentinel Visualizer 4.0\SentinelVisualizer.exe";
WSH=new ActiveXObject("WScript.Shell");
WSH.run(File);
</SCRIPT>
I am not sure that it is suppose to go in this section. I have put other scripts in this section and it worked ok.
The following I put into a region a HTML type and entered the following
<! A href="#" onClick="runcmd(); return false;">Run wordpad.exe<!/A>
Once again I am not sure this is the right spot either. All I get when I click on the link is an error on the page. Can you be specific as to where each part of the script goes in order to get this to work. I have tried severla spots with the a href (Source, footers but to no avail)

Starting java program from a shortcut?

Each time I wan't to run a Java Application I need to do it from my IDE (eclipse).
Is it possible to just put a shortcut on the desktop and when double clicking it the program will run without opening eclipse?

This is a decent BAT creating BAT that i wrote.
it prompts for parameters
and then makes the Java run BAT automatically.
copy it into any text editor and then save it as ".bat" extension
change ProgramMain in the last "create batch" section to your
programs main class name. you can also easily look at this
bat and have it prompt the user for the main class name
and have it write it automatically.
@ECHO off

How to start JDBC program from web.

Okay I have researched this alot on how you are suppose to connect to a database using JSP and all the example just show how to print the entire database. What I need to do is take a JDBC program I have written and make it run on a web page. How can I call the program to run on a web page. The JDBC program will search,update,add information into a database but how do I get the JDBC program run on a web server. I am a newbie in JSP.

Then could someone tell me what is the point in learning JDBC if you can't use it for web applications? Could someone then tell me which to learn in order for me to implement using my database on the web. Should I learn how to do it as a servlet or in JSP. Which is going to require less time to learn. I am kinda in a time crunch on this one. I would really like to learn both and I will probably go back and do that but I don't have time to learn both so any advice would be helpful. Thank you for you time.

Forms deployment from an icon to executing a form

I'd love to have the knowledge of what is necessary to execute a form, starting from a windows icon/shortcut on the desktop. It's easy enough to execute the form from forms builder, but I'd like to setup an end user's route. I'm curious whether you need the application server installed, where/when the login process takes place, and anything else involved. Thanks!

Mike,
if you are talking about Oracle9i Forms and above, then you must have an application server to run the application.
The Forms Developer building environment comes with an integrated HTTP server that is used for testing applications, thus not requiring an Application server. Unfortunately the Oracle Developer Suite is certified for development and testing only and not meant to provide client-server support.
Generally and to answer your question, starting an application from an icon on the desktop only requires you to create a shortcut for the browser (e.g. IE) and then add the Forms application URL to it.
e.g. internetexplorer http://server:port/forms90/f90servlet?config=myapp

Can't start any program after upgrading to Mavericks from Mountain Lion.

After upgrading my Macbook Pro from Mountain Lion to Mavericks, I can't start any program from the dock or finder. The screen flashes briefly gray, then returns to the desktop. I repairded permissions from the recovery partition.

No need to repair permissions from the recovery partition. You can do that using the Disk Utility app located in HD > Applications > Utilities.
As for the issues with your Mac. Check to see if the startup disk needs reparing. (not the same as permissions)
The startup disk may need repairing ...
Launch Disk Utility located in HD > Applications > Utillities
Select the startup disk on the left then select the First Aid tab.
Click: Verify Disk (not Verify Disk Permissions)
If DU reports errors, restart your Mac while holding down the Command + R keys. From there you should be able to acces the built in utilities in OS X Recovery
Make sure to back up all important files first before using OS X Recovery.
