Converting to jar or exe

Question

I have around 10 java files with their corresponding class files. The whole application works when i execute one of the main class. I execute it using cmd. I need help converting it into a single self executing file. eg: exe or jar

In case you are using an IDE, it should do it all for you. – Kedar Parikh Feb 27 '15 at 05:41 — Kedar Parikh, Feb 27 '15 at 05:41

A jar file is little more than just a zip of all classes and resource files. You need to add details into META-INF/MANIFEST.MF file so that the class containing the main method to be executed is know.

This should help: Link

You can try invoking the jar file as follows:

java -cp <jarfile.jar> <Complete.Package.ClassNameWithMainMethod>
