Java: Stand alone: Run: How to possibly run a stand alone Java program?

===

Method: Run java.exe interpreter

Usually you run a stand alone by calling the program via the command:

 java.exe <your program name>

e.g.

 java.exe HelloWorld

===

Method: Run a batch file which runs java.exe interpreter

You can put this in a batch file, with the name of the file as a
command line parameter

e.g.

 java.exe %1

---

e.g.

create a batch file j.bat, containing

 java.exe %1

save it, call it with

j.bat HelloWorld

===

Method: Double click file filename in Microsoft Explorer

If you do not want to pass parameters, and run it by e.g. double
clicking on it in Microsoft Explorer, create a batch file containing
the name of your program.

This batch file (e.g. mybatchfile.bat) should contain the following
text:

 java.exe <yourclassname>

---

PS be sure that java.exe is in your PATH or put e.g. java.exe in the
   same directory as your class file and your batchfile.

===

Method: Create a shortcut

Another possibility is to create a shortcut.

e.g.

 -right click on your Windows desktop

  -select from list 'Shortcut'

   -type for the location 'c:\myfilepath\java.exe yourclassname'

    -give the shortcut a name

if you then double click on this shortcut, it will run java.exe, which
will run yourclassname.

===

Method: Use the 'Java Web Start' program

This is a universal solution from Sun to run your Java programs
