Open JDK doesn't run my jar files

  • 772

I decided to start java programming on Linux instead of Windows, but I can only open my projects in the NetBeans IDE. When I make the distribution into a .jar file, I can't open them. I already gave it the permission to be an executable file, but when I select Open JDK jre (either 6 or 7), it just stays there. It doesn't do anything and I don't see why it happens. Any help on what to do to proceed?

PS: The program I'm trying to open has a GUI and when I run it in NetBeans it directly loads into the GUI, instead of doing something at the console

  1. With the amount of information you have provided I can give you only two suggestions:

    1. Make sure that you have exported the JAR file correctly - it needs to be exported as a runnable JAR & have a main class specified in the Manifest
    2. Try running it via "java -jar test.jar"
