You need the Java Runtime Environment (JRE). -----Original Message----- From: programmingblind-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:programmingblind-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Katherine Moss Sent: 4. august 2010 02:07 To: programmingblind@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: RE: Java And Windows Executable Question Speaking of Java, I have a program from someone (I forget now who it was), that is meant to convert .mpc files to .mp3. It?s extension is that of .JAR. My question is, that inside it, (I used 7Zip to extract it), there is a .exe file with a few Dll?s to go along with it. How do I actually use the program? For some odd reason, all the program does when the .exe is run is terminate. What am I doing wrong? Do I need any editional software to run this? Thanks.

It allows you to launch a java application as an executable or to even run it as a Windows service. I have used it in both modes. One of the things I like about the JSW is that you can configure it to trap the standard out and standard err streams and write them to a file. You can even have JSW put a date/time stamp on each console record. This is very helpful when attempting to track down a problem which may have resulted from an unexpected runtime exception. Just knowing the date/time stamp of exactly when the error occured can help you better track down what was going on at the time. ----- Original Message ----- From: SDJNick <mailto:sdjnick@xxxxxxxxx> To: programmingblind@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Monday, August 02, 2010 9:31 AM Subject: RE: Java And Windows Executable Question You asked me? -- contacts: mailto:sdjnick@xxxxxxxxx http://sdjnick.klango.net links: www.sdjnick.tk www.tcalc.tk www.jaws-scripts.tk www.serbianpunctuation.tk http://sdjnick.klangoblog.net SDJNick! ________________________________ From: programmingblind-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:programmingblind-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Homme, James Sent: 02 August 2010 4:22 PM To: programmingblind@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Java And Windows Executable Question Hi, I am very sure that I have a misunderstanding about this, so please correct me. I was once under the impression that you couldn't make a Java program that was an .exe Windows executable, but Eclipse is a Windows executable. How does this work? Thanks.
