Running .jar files with java?

[Dazzla Veteran]

Winrar has associated itself with my jar files and I need to run a jar application. How do I start .jar apps now?

Use Java SDK 1.4

Here's an example of a program I made http://calc.smsmasters.co.uk

Isn't the runtime environment enough? :/

Open up Windows Explorer. In the Tools menu, click Folder Options... Under the File Types tab, look in the list box for the extension, '.jar'. Click on it and click the Change button (it will have a label 'Open with:' on the left. Now find 'javaw.exe' and associate the file type with that.

Hope that helps.

Yeah, that worked :)

Although I get a nice "Fatal Exception" message then it crashes :D

Edit, after a restart I now get "Unsupported JRE version 1.4.2"...
