Regarding executable jar file

I have developed an application and mostly it is a Swing based application. I have made the executable JAR of the whole project. Now when I click that JAR it gets executed and my project starts and the Swing window shows up as usual. But when I try to execute that same executable JAR on another system it doesn't get executed. Please advise how to solve this..!!

The reason that might be that the JRE may also not be installed on his system or the class path was not set..! Please advise how to execute the same JAR on his system too.

Have a look to:

http://launch4j.sourceforge.net http://jsmooth.sourceforge.net

these wraps your jar into an executable,which makes easier to distribute your app,taking care of things as setting the classpath and installing the JVM if not present.

Your questions is missing some details.

Please, specify output that you get when running your application on your friend's machine.

Otherwise it is hard to advice something.

More details are also welcome: jdk/jre version, OS version, build scripts, etc.

Are you working with eclipse? Maybe the other system doesn't have the JRE7. If this is the case, you have following possibilities:

  1. Update the JRE on the other system
  2. Create a new project in eclipse and select JavaSE-1.6 at "Use an execution environment JRE"

This compiles your project JRE6 compatible. However, you have to put more details to your question.
