Not yet under Linux, but I've done it under the dreaded Windows and
JDK1.2.
BTW, Sun have gone a similar way with JDK1.2. They have added support to
run a .jar file into the kernel. It simply translates the command into
"java -jar" in much the same way as Linux does for class files, and finds
out the correct class to run by using a new value in the jar files
manifest.
I'd suspect that as soon as 1.2 is out for Linux, someone would amend the
kernel to allow jar files to be executable also.
