I've been using IntelliJ for some time now, and always tested programs by running the project.
But I've been looking howto create a standalone program?
Musst be something stupid but I can't find it :s

Not clear,

Are you searching for some complete application source code?

If that is, this could help you.....

Well i've made a java project with intelliJ, but I can only run it if intellliJ is started.
Basically I want to make an .exe or something from it.
It doesn't uses a database or something.
I hope this is more clear

I've found somewhere that I need to convert my project to a .JAR file which I then can convert to an .exe.
However when I create my .JAR file using IntelliJ and then try to run it, I get "Could not find main class, program will now exit", but I've selected my main class when creating the .JAR file :s
In this main class I have this: (separate main class with no other functions)

Quote:

public class Start{

public static void main(String[] args) {
new myapplication();
}
}

JAR file's behavior is the same as executable files.....
You can run directly your application when Archived....

Maybe the JAR generator generates bad jar file... or its manifest file doesn't point/create the Main-Class: Start

You may take a tutorial about how to create a jar file manually...

Yes I found that link with google too

But I found it: I used eclipse to create the JAR file, thanks for the help
