Using Java to run software

[Colin23erk]

Hi
    Has anyone tried to to get a .jar file to run in Java .   
    OpenJDK 7 Runtime Environment is already loaded in Lite 2.

When I right click on the jar.jar file from a storage clipboard program called "KeepBoard" I get the option to open with "openJkd java 7 runtime"
When I click on it nothing appears to happen .

It also has a "start.sh" file which does not work for me

I have downloaded it to win 7 and it runs OK from the "start.sh" file

Try right clicking on the file/s and selecting 'Make executable'

Hello!

I was able to run JDiskReport after I installed Java through the 'Install Additional Software' menu.  JDiskReport generates a nice pie chart to show you how your hard disk is being utilized.

If anyone wants to install it and has a problem, I'll put together a tutorial...

Thanks for the replies

I have tried  JDiskReport as suggested and that works fine - It default is set to open using Java and runs OK.

The "start sh" file in Keepboard has the following script
_____________________________________________-

#!/bin/sh
DIR="$( cd "$( dirname "$0" )" && pwd )"
cd $DIR
java -jar jar.jar
______________________________________________-


Keepboard does appear to do something as it creates a "Pref" folder in the program folder there is a Pref file as shown below.

Hello
Forgot to say i tried making it executable or run as administrator

I just get the "Pref" folder generated but no error messages . In Windows a gui window appears

If anyone would like  to try it out, this is the download link

http://sourceforge.net/projects/keepboar...p/download

Works here, all I did was download it, double click on it and it appeared in my tray. Then I just right clicked on it and chose 'Show Keepboard'

You could try clipman:

Code:

sudo apt-get install xfce4-clipman-plugin

then just add it to the panel.

Thanks for trying it for me  . why does it work for you but not me !
In spite of the problems I have had I find Linux Lite worked well out of the box . I hope more people find it and use it . Keep up the good work

The more I find out about computers the less I know ?

If only all PC's behaved exactly the same it would make the work of developers much easier . The downside  would be there was less to interest them .

Hello

Tried Clipman as  you suggested - It works OK but is not quite what I wanted . I used Classic Clipboard in XP in which I could store clips that I used frequently like my email address etc . I tried using it via Wine but it locks up . I was looking for something similar

I am using the following -- is this the same as you ran Keepboard successfully with .

colin@colin-NC110:~$ java -version
java version "1.7.0_55"
OpenJDK Runtime Environment (IcedTea 2.4.7) (7u55-2.4.7-1ubuntu1)
OpenJDK Server VM (build 24.51-b03, mixed mode)

Re  Keepboard not running in Java Runtime Environment

I managed to get it to work by re-installing Java in Lite 2 Beta

I did  new  Install of  Lite 2 Final and Keepboard stopped working again

I uninstalled Java and tried to re-install it with Synaptic and had problems with Broken Links etc

Also when I right clicked the JAR.JAR file it showed the default  was JRE and available  even though there was no Java showing correctly with  the terminal command -  java -version

I Closed Linux and opened it again
I used Synaptic to Install "Default Java JRK "which included  a full list of dependencies  after which when I opened Keepboard it appeared on the "Panel" and works OK

Glad it's working for you
