B4J Question executing a jar file

[Beja]

What does it mean if a jar file can only be executed from inside the IDE after compilation, not from the Objects' folder? When I tried to open and execute it from outside the IDE environment nothing happens. ?

If your jar file does not execute, it probably means Windows doesn't know to use Java to run it. You might have to make that association.

You can also optionally "Build Standalone Package," which then creates an exe file.

What Java are you using

Go to the folder and then to the DOS prompt (cmd). Type javac -jar filename.jar and press Enter

In this thread you had java version 8 installed. It works differently with newer java versions.
