Python open a JAR shortcut

Question

我有一个JAR文件保存在我的桌面上，是否有一种方法可以让我用python来写这个，好像我只是点击桌面上的链接，我是python的新手，知道这是一个愚蠢的问题，但会帮助我很多。

Answer 1

Why do you want to execute it via Python?

In my Windows environment such .jar file is executed by Java:

C:\jre7\bin\javaw.exe -jar "%1" %*

Of course your OS should be able to change such association to open .jar with other program. On my Windows I can use local menu to open .jar file with Java, Eclipse, Firefox or I can chose other program.

Answer 2

I'll assume you're using Windows (it seems that way from how you've presented the question).

To simulate double-clicking a file on Windows, use os.startfile (available only on Windows):

os.startfile("path/to/myjarfile.jar")

This will do whatever your system is configured to do with files with a .jar extension.
