This question has been asked before recently: compile your .java files and stick
everything (including your resources) in a .jar file using the .jar tool. You can make
your .jar an executable .jar file by adding a small manifest file to it. Check the
jar tutorial for details.

kind regards,

Jos

I'm trying to make an executable that contains as few files as possible. What would I need to do that? The client really wants one file (the EXE file) that contains everything -so they can move that file from one PC to another very easilty- but I don't know if that's really possible. I tried copying the whole dir (and run the exes in debug or release dirs) but it didn't work out. My goal is to be able to run the app in another computer....

Is there any way to add an embedded resource to a project without copying it to the project's directory? I have shared resources and don't want each project using the images, xml files, etc. to need to be updated with the current copy before being built. I also don't want projects being built with the old copy. Thanks! Bill

Hello, How do I create an .exe file from a VC++ program (using VS 6.0). I understand U need to compile the program and that will make an exe file. I did that. When I try to build the file, I get a dialogue box which is asking me to "specify a executable file". When I try to locate the .exe file of the code in the debug folder, I am not able to find it. I know it sounds silly... but I have lost my patience on this small

Hi All.. I have written an application that clients of ours use at their business. The application checks our main FTP server for new reports and then downloads them. The download process also downloads NEW versions of the executable they are running. What I want to do is have the program that has just downloaded the reports and executable to somehow be able to update itself. That is, copy the new exe and overwrite the old one.

I've run into a rather strange situation, and can't seem to find any details on why this would even be happening, so here goes: I've created an app to force users to update their pcAnywhere passwords. This is a VB.Net project compiled against .Net 1.1. This executable is placed on a terminal server in \Documents and Settings\All Users\Desktop and up until recently worked just fine, with about 10 people utilizing it on a recurring basis....

Hello, I know about the FileInfo.LastWriteTime() function. However, this is not always returning the modified date of the executable that I want: when you copy the executable to another directory the FileInfo.LastWriteTime() function returns the copy-time. I can see in my explorer that there is another modified time, the time when I compiled the executable. My explorer (explorer2, that is, Zabkat's dual-pane explorer) shows this...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it.

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
