Making application run by itself

[quickfingers]

Hello all I am try to make the game I program run by itself without needing my Java compiler.


Here is some information that may be useful to know
Its a Class with 7 other classes going into it
I used AudioChip so I need to make sure I have my wav file (and its still not a Applet)
I imported Images so I am going to need them

I use Bluej as my compiler which i know can make a jar file but they never work.

First of all, BlueJ is an IDE, not a compiler.
Secondly, you never run a Java program with a compiler - you compile with a compiler.
Thirdly, every Java program requires a JVM to be installed in order to run.

With all this in mind, you can make an executable jar using the jar command. Lesson: Packaging Programs in JAR Files (The Java™ Tutorials > Deployment)

Well I have look at that page you just link me before but I don't understand on how to make a jar file even with the guide help like what program do I need to make one.

[OrangeDog]

The command line program "jar" that comes with the java development kit (JDK). If you're using BlueJ then it should already be installed somewhere.

I use Bluej as my compiler which i know can make a jar file but they never work.

Perhaps if you look into this further, why you can't get BlueJ to help make Jar files, you'll be able to solve this matter. Making Jars is one reason I like Eclipse.
