Creating a jar file to be run on any other machine

Question

我必须创建一个jar文件，其中我需要在类路径中添加外部jar文件，属性文件，以便在其他任何计算机上运行它。

Answer 1

您可以使用manifest.mf定义外部类路径，也可以使用组成类路径并运行您的应用程序的脚本。

Answer 2

I really recommend you to use a build tool such as Maven for these things:

How can I create an executable JAR with dependencies using Maven?

Answer 3

You can make the jar in almost any IDE. I agree with Michael SchmeiBer, be a bit more specific please.

I use eclipse as my IDE (because you can both use it in windows and Ubuntu Linux) to make a jar (you can define the startup class in the jar).

I use different methods for starting up of different machines.

I use nsis to create a nice windows executable (.exe) You can include your own icon.

In nsis script you actually use the same command you would use in a batch command. nsis has some nice features, like search for a java jre.

For Linux and Mac I use a .sh file with this command.
