Can these jars be executed directly, I thought on windows one could
double-click a jar file and have it run right away, doesn't seem to
happen on my machine though?
I found this on http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/guide/jar/jarGuide.html
"On Microsoft Windows systems, the Java 2 Runtime Environment's
installation program will register a default association for Jar files
so that double-clicking a Jar file on the desktop will automatically run
it with javaw -jar. Dependent extensions bundled with the application
will also be loaded automatically. This feature makes the end-user
runtime environment easier to use on Microsoft Windows systems"
On Win2k, I can/tried to register the default association for the jar
(derbynet.jar) file with javaw.exe, but not sure how to give the
argument -jar.. anyone know ?
Thanks,
