JAR is executed with terminal but not with direct clicking

I have tried the following:
in terminal it works
In Intellij it works
I have tried to launch it with javaw.exe but nothing changes
Are there any other options?

This looks like an OS problem that an application building one -- because you said that it works in your IDE and terminal.
Make sure that you installed Java properly in your machine.
In Windows/MacOs, after installing Java, the *.jar files are automatically associated with the java -jar command and makes it runnable via double-click.
In linux, this varies on the flavour or DE you are using. But there's probably a utility in your OS to open *.jar files using java -jar command.

Jmeter linux shell cannot start server

Situation:
I have installed Jasper Reports Library (V6.5.1) on my local Linux server which generates PDF reports (Data is dumped in a temp Oracle DB table for the reporting engine).
It then serves this PDF back to the website from which I kick off the process.
Goal:
Install Jmeter to analyse performance / possible bottlenecks of "Jasper Reports Library" (aka Report Generation) on my local linux server (I cannot access this server via GUI, only shell).
I understand I have to connect my local Windows 10 machine (running same Jmeter 4.0) with this local server. On the server I have to start Jmeter 4.0 Server (via jmeter-server command) however I get an error and am stuck (have not found anything online or even people with the same goal unfortunately...)
Steps I have taken:
Download latest (4.0) bin from here
Extracted on local linux server in /opt/dlins/apache-jmeter-4.0bin
Trying to start server with /usr/lib/jvm/jdk1.8.0_102/bin/java jmeter-server (the default java version is 6 so through this I can run this app with java 8) - Instructions found here
-> Getting error: "Error: Could not find or load main class jmeter-server"
Any help regarding above or even any other tool you may use are appreciated (Maybe there is a preferable way to test performance for the above scenario)

There are 2 aspects related to your issue and screenshot:
1) Using java 8 instead of 6 - This can be done in several ways, depending on your needs and restrictions, such as the need to have Java 6 globally available for other applications and using 8 just to run JMeter, or just replacing 6 with 8 entirely. For the sake of brevity, I'll assume the first scenario, but there's documentation available for both and Dmitri T has partially explained it already.
Anyway, the same JMeter doc link you used, describes (just scroll down a few times) how to create a setenv.sh script in the bin directory and configure JAVA_HOME or JRE_HOME depending on your needs.
To set those variables permanently, you can place them in a file called setenv.sh in the bin directory. This file will be sourced when running JMeter by calling the jmeter script.
You seem to be wanting a JDK, so create the script and add inside JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/jdk1.8.0_102, save and exit.
2) Running JMeter - To clarify a minor confusion, java MyCompiledClass instructs java to load and execute the "program" defined in MyCompiledClass, which is not what you want to do, because jmeter-server is a shell script. If you open it, you'll see that it calls the jmeter shell script which will do some configuration, end eventually call (in short) java -jar ApacheJMeter.jar with some arguments and options.
So, to run JMeter make sure your scripts are executable with chmod, and simply run from command line ./jmeter-server. From the same link:
Un*x script files; should work on most Linux/Unix systems:
jmeter - run JMeter (in GUI mode by default). Defines some JVM settings which may not work for all JVMs.
jmeter-server - start JMeter in server mode (calls jmeter script with appropriate parameters)
jmeter.sh - very basic JMeter script (You may need to adapt JVM options like memory settings).
mirror-server.sh - runs the JMeter Mirror Server in non-GUI mode
shutdown.sh - Run the Shutdown client to stop a non-GUI instance gracefully
stoptest.sh - Run the Shutdown client to stop a non-GUI instance abruptly

Amend your PATH environment variable so Java 8 bin would be before Java 6 bin like:
PATH=/usr/lib/jvm/jdk1.8.0_102/bin:$PATH && export PATH
Once done you should be able to just launch the jmeter-server script like
pushd /opt/dlins/apache-jmeter-4.0bin/bin && ./jmeter-server

java missing class when supervisor running process but not when running as www-data user

I've made my first clojure app and I've built it with leiningen by running lein ring uberjar. I can run this on my dev machine (fedora 23) and I can run this on my ubuntu production machine java -jar tomahawk.jar. I've followed the digital ocean tutorial here that describes how to set up the environment. My supervisor conf is the following:
[program:tomahawk]
environment=TOMAHAWK_DB=$TOMAHAWK_DB
command=/usr/lib/jvm/java-1.7.0-openjdk-amd64/bin/java -jar tomahawk.jar
logfile=/tmp/supervisord.log
directory=/var/www/tomahawk/app
user=www-data
autostart=true
autorestart=true
startretries=3
redirect_stderr=true
stdout_logfile=/var/www/logs/tomahawk.app.log
However, when using this through nginx, i get the error
2016-03-19 23:34:08.594:WARN:oejs.AbstractHttpConnection:/
java.sql.SQLException: No suitable driver found for jdbc:sqlserver:$
at java.sql.DriverManager.getConnection(DriverManager.java:596)
at java.sql.DriverManager.getConnection(DriverManager.java:187)
at clojure.java.jdbc$get_connection.invoke(jdbc.clj:255)
This comes from the com.microsoft.sqldbc4.jar file. However, I can run this standalone jar file, as well as I can run sudo -u www-data env TOMAHAWK_DB=$TOMAHAWK_DB java -jar tomahawk.jar just fine. Also, while this is running, I can hit it through the nginx reverse proxy.
I've searched around and found an unanswered email on the supervisor mailing list from 2011. Why can I only sometimes see the missing jar file?
I've tried putting it inside of the /usr/lib/jvm/.../lib/ext location for my jvm, bundled inside of the jar file, running from Tomcat, etc. I've made an upstart script as well with identical results as well. I am not sure what other paths I can try and was wondering if anyone had any insights.

Neo4J Server Installation Linux AWS Centos OS -- service user cannot find java

I have downloaded Neo4J enterprise from the Neo site and have untar'd it under /opt
I have successfully downloaded and installed the Java 7 Server edition from the Oracle web site. Note after indicating I want a server JRE, Oracle downloads this : jdk1.7.0_51
I have untar'd both under /opt giving me /opt/neo4j-2.0.0 and /opt/jdk1.7.0_51
I have successfully installed Neo4J 2.O on AWS with Centos Linux, such that it should run as a Service under a service account. To do this I used the Neo install command. The command ran successfully
I can successfully start Neo4J as myself. After editing my ~/.bash_profile to define JAVA_HOME and exporting.
export JAVA_HOME="/opt/jdk1.7.0_51/"
export NEO4J_HOME="/opt/neo4j-2.0.0"
export PATH=$JAVA_HOME/bin:$NEO4J_HOME:$PATH
Apply
source ~/.bash_profile
cd /$NEO$J_HOME
bin/neo4j start
Works just fine.
However, we are not able to successfully get Neo to start as a service
sudo service neo4j-service start
which: no java in (/sbin:/usr/sbin:/bin:/usr/bin)
ERROR: Unable to find java. (Cannot execute )
* Please use Oracle(R) Java(TM) 7 to run Neo4j Server. Download "Java Platform (JDK) 7" from:
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index.html
* Please see http://docs.neo4j.org/ for Neo4j Server installation instructions.
If I echo $JAVA_HOME it returns as expected
If I echo $PATH it returns as expected
by as expected we can see java on the path.
If I simply type java -version before I run sudo service neo4j-service start
the response shows the java version.
A bit of background: the Linux service command is not available unless I first run a special script per our normal it policies. However, the script clobbers the exports that I would otherwise use.
Accordingly the command
service neo4j-service start
returns
-bash: neo4j-service: command not found
indicating that the 'service' command cannot be found
So sudo is required in our environment to execute the service command
We have tried simply placing jdk1.7.0_51 under /sbin/jdk1.7.0_51 that does not work. We have also tried extracting the jre folder from jdk1.7.0_51 and placing it under /sbin/jre
Also tried creating a java.sh file under /etc/profile.d/
Still no success.
So the simple question....
Where is Neo4J 2.0.0 looking for Java when running as a service? Is it using the environment variable JAVA_HOME, or is it looking in one of the following locations as the Neo4J server error message would seem to indicate? "no java in (/sbin:/usr/sbin:/bin:/usr/bin)"
Under my installation configuration the neo4j service is intended to run under the account neo4jservice. Is this as simple as making sure JAVA_HOME is available to the neo4jservice accound? Why the error message "no java in (/sbin:/usr/sbin:/bin:/usr/bin)"?
Thanks in advance

I ran a test on my solaris and Linux Mint install and this seems to work for me
Perhaps it's not elegant, but it will get you going. Just drop the sudo part for your startup script.
sudo NEO4J_HOME="/opt/neo4j" JAVA_HOME="/usr/java" /opt/neo4j/bin/neo4j start
Obviously, modify the environment variables to your situation:
JAVA_HOME="/opt/jdk1.7.0_51/" NEO4J_HOME="/opt/neo4j-2.0.0" service neo4j-service start

Not quite the answer I was hoping for... as the answer seems to disregard this part of the original POST: "So sudo is required in our environment to execute the service command"
What does seem to work is modifying the neo4j-service script to include the exports.
neo4j-service is found at /etc/init.d

Java is not working in my PC

I had installed Java in my PC and it was working perfectly. Suddenly something went wrong and now I m not able to open swing applications and its showing the error 'Java not found'. But I can run the Eclipse IDE which also needed Java to run. So I decide to reinstall the Java, but when I tried to uninstall the Java it shows the Error 1723 - There is a problem with this Windows Installer Package. So I have installed a new JDK in another location and set the PATH. Still I am not able to run the Swing application.
Can anybody help me on this?

How are you running your swing application?
If it's from the command line like java mySwingApp and you're getting java not found then your PATH isn't set properly. Make sure that the java/bin directory is on your PATH not just the top level directory. You can test your PATH by just typing java in a console window - it should print the java help page.
If you're not running from a terminal like above, then you may need to set a JAVA_HOME environment variable which points to your java installation folder. Here's a tutorial on setting JAVA_HOME
Setting JAVA_HOME
Hope this helps,
Will

This is close to jakob's answer, about trying to get your Java install setup correctly again, just with a little more detail.
I had a similar problem on my Windows 7 box where I was trying to uninstall Java and do a clean install of a newer version. Something got messed up and I would get the 1723 error message during the uninstall and attempted reinstall. Here's information about how I was able to fix the problem, and maybe this will help you:
Look at the log files for the uninstall/reinstall. On Windows 7 they can be found at c:\users\username\AppData\Local\Temp\
The java_install.logdidn't show any extra information, but I had several MSI##### log files that contained error messages about the failed uninstall. The message was: Error 1723.There is a problem with this Windows Installer package. A DLL required for this install to complete could not be run. Contact your support personnel or package vendor. Action UninstallJRE, entry: MSIUninstallJRE, library: C:\Program Files\Java\jre6\bin\regutils.dll
There was indeed no regutils.dll file, and not even the bindirectory was there. So I copied over a regutils.dll file from another computer, ran the uninstaller, and it worked. Then the new clean install of Java also worked.
So take a look at your logfiles and hopefully that will give you more detailed information about the 1723 error.

This usally happens when you delete Java files manually.
If you try to uninstall Java and it fails, it generates a log file.
Should be in C:\Users[Username]\AppData\Local\Temp
Almost at the end the missing file(s) can be found.
Try to copy that file(s) from a working installation to your computer.
Then you should be able to uninstall your Java and install a new version.
