从Windows上下文菜单中运行JAR

Question

I've got a java application packaged as jar, which I am trying to add as a "right click" option for a specific file type in windows.

I've added the command reg key to the filetype, and the command appears in windows explorer when I rightclick the appropriate file type, but the jar doesn't run successfully.

The value of the (default) command is:

java.exe "c:\MYAPPDIR\MYAPP.jar %1"

and a command prompt pops up quickly and closes too fast for me to see what is going on.

This exact command works mind in a cmd.exe prompt (where %1 is replaced with a valid file name)

I tried java instead of java.exe, and variations on where the quotations go, but no success.

How do I format the command? Any help is appreciated!

You need to create a Runnable Jar File in order for it to run when you click on it. You can run any jar file by doing java -jar File.jar . You can create a runnable jar file in Eclipse, or you can write the MANIFEST text files by yourself.
