Hi all,
I have written a .Net Winforms application that creates a Jar applet, which will be copied to a mobile phone.
The output is a Jar applet that is created by the Jar utility, which is a part of the Java SDK (JDK). In the .Net code I simply run the Jar utility.
Now I need to install the created application on a different PC. Of course, the Jar.Exe file must be present on the user PC. Does that mean that the whole JDK needs to be installed on the PC? Sounds weird.
Or maybe there is another tool with simple interface (that can be run programmatically) that can archive the existing files into a JAR archive?
