I'am trying to create a setup with innosetup for my application but before the finish of the installation of my setup.exe i'd like to run other installation by this command :
java -jar build.jar buildinfo.xml
this Jar installation will takes 45 seconds but i don't know how can i do it .
Also you can...
create a batch file with your commands ("java -jar" etc.)
use "Bat to exe converter" (search on Google) in order to convert
your batch file in a Windows executable file
run that exe file at the end of Inno setup procedure
I hope this can help someone :-)

I have created a java program (in Eclipse). I have successfully compiled it to a .jar file which I can run on windows without any problems. I want to give this program to a friend who has a MacOSX. So my aim is to:
Create a file which can be run on MacOSX
The twist is that I have to configure it on my Windows computer since I don't have access to a Mac. Any advice would be of great help!
I am not sure what you are referring as "create a file which can be run on macOSX"
If you want to run on any OS you just need a JRE on that particular system without it you cant run. It will provide a runtime environment to run a jar file. Then use below command to run the jar.
java -jar Myjar_file.jar
For running a java code (that includes a JXInput code for a Joystick use), I only run this .bat:
jre1.8.0_66\bin\java.exe -Djava.library.path=d:\HG -jar HG11.9.jar
But, that works if I has PREVIOUSLY installed the VC redistributable.
As some people are not software specialists, they don't know how to install this vc_redist_.exe from https://www.microsoft.com/en-US/download/details.aspx?id=48145. I mention "" because it depends on the system they have (vc_redist.x64.exe or vc_redist.x86.exe).
I am sure that this problematics consisting in facilitating procedure of installation of a game and, more generally, a product has been already solved. So, what is the good practice to manually avoid to install the vc_redist?
In other words, is it possible to include this vc_redist in the .jar? Then, only running a .bat (like above) allowing to run the game.
If not, is it possible to run a single .bat or something else that:
- unzip the .zip file of my game (this file includes the game and the vc_redist)
- then automatically install the vc_redist, depending on the system (32 or 64 bits) - by what means?
Thanks a lot for your response
If you already have bat file for install best way to do this will be to include install of vc_redist in this *.bat before install. From what I know it is not posiible to include this in the *.jar. Better will be to pack all files into zip (together with this *.bat script).
To install vcredist in bat silently you will have to add these commands:
#echo OFF
reg Query "HKLM\Hardware\Description\System\CentralProcessor\0" | find /i "x86" > NUL && set OS=32BIT || set OS=64BIT
if %OS%==32BIT runas /user:Administrator %~dp0\vcredist_x86.exe /q /norestart
if %OS%==64BIT runas /user:Administrator %~dp0\vcredist_x64.exe /q /norestart
#rest of your script
Checking if system is 32bit of 64bit is taken from here (batch file to check 64bit or 32bit OS)
%~dp0 resolves to the full path of the folder in which the batch script resides.
Edit:
As the runas might not be the best solution to problem of running this as administrator I will direct you to these posts to read about running with administrator privilages in bat
How to code a BAT file to always run as admin mode?
How can I auto-elevate my batch file, so that it requests from UAC administrator rights if required?
There was a program that I used that made runnable .jar files.. All the ones I'm finding now are ones that make .exe files.. I remember it also has the option to make the file a .sh script as well. Anyone knows its name? I've been searching for hours with no avail :/
The command line
java -jar file.jar
Will run your jar file if it has a Main-Class defined as explained here.
You can use that command in a shell script.
You can create a runnable jar using NetBeans IDE or Eclipse IDE by just providing the main class to run. Rest of the things it will take automatically. That class must be having a main() method in it. Then you can run that jar file using java -jar yourjarfile.jar
Do you mean actually coding java and then compiling to .jar? If you do try
eclipse code editor
I used eclipse to make minecraft mods. It will work if you want to make .jar programs.
If you want to have a jar that you can execute using the usual syntax ./app.jar (instead of java -jar), here is a post explaining the process: how to create executable jars.
Basically, JAR is a variant of ZIP, which allows random bytes to be pre/appended to the JAR without corrrupting it. This means it is possible to prepend a launcher script at the beginning of the jar to make it "executable".
Here is a simple example of the process:
# Append a basic launcher script to the jar
cat \
<(echo '#!/bin/sh')\
<(echo 'exec java -jar $0 "$#"')\
<(echo 'exit 0')\
original.jar > executable.jar
# Make the new jar executable
chmod +x executable.jar
With this, you can now run ./executable.jar instead of java -jar original.jar. This works on all unix like systems including Linux, MacOS, Cygwin, and Windows Linux subsystem.
First thing I installed Java jdk and jre
Then I installed a file called ssh_rd_rev04b.jar
I tried to open the jar file but it didn't run
I double clicked it,
I made a .bat file and typed java -jar filename didn't work too, tried other things but didn't work as well .
Please help .
My java program was written on a windows machine and I am trying to get it installed and running on a Ubuntu 10.04 machine. I have created a .tar.gz file with myProgram.jar in it as well as 5 supporting library .jar files in a lib folder. Where do I put these files? Do I need to extract it on the Linux machine to a usr/bin folder? Does the shell script go inside the tar.gz? I have read that if you write the shell script on a windows machine you can have issues once you move it to the Linux machine, so I am writing the shell script on the Linux machine using gedit. I am just not sure what to do next.
So far in my script I have,
#!/bin/bash
java -jar myProgram.jar
I am going to try and extract the tar.gz file to the usr/bin directory and see if it runs.
Any suggestions or help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Ray
Your question is quite "broad" :). I hope you find the following useful.
Do not extract the files to /usr/bin. See e.g. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filesystem_Hierarchy_Standard on where and where not to put files on a *nix system.
Extract the jar's to e.g. /opt/yourProgram/*.
The shell script should be inside there too. Make sure its executable (i.e chmod 755 script.sh)
In your shell script add cd /opt/yourProgram to have the proper working directory for your program before you invoke java.
If you want this program to be started easily by everyone create a symbolic link in /usr/bin or better in /usr/local/bin pointing to your script. Do this as last step after everything else is working.
In your shell script you'll have to add the other jars to the classpath e.g.
java -cp lib/some.jar:lib/other.jar -jar myProgram.jar
or
java -cp lib/some.jar:lib/other.jar:myProgram.jar com.acme.ClassContainingMain
Recommended practice: Add set -e at the very beginning of your script
As you already mentioned it's considered harmful to edit a shell script using a windows editor. The reason is that the windows editor will encode line-breaks (i.e. you hit the Return key) differently. This will make bash puke :)
Im not too clear of what you are looking for.
The script that you have written should work absolutely fine if you have placed your script and myprogram.jar at the same level.
And also im not sure how your myprogram.jar is referring the dependent libraries. So can't comment on them. Best bet will be to place your script and all jars together and try running the script.
