How to execute a Java program independent of Netbeans.
Helloes,
Does anyone have any tips here, ie, a Windows machine.
I created a batch file that is something like:
java ExecuteThis
which works on some Windows machines in College, but it won't work on my machine at home.
Do I need some sort of extension, dll or something like that?
Any useful hints or tips would be appreciated.
Shaun.

Here are some requirements you'll need to make sure your java program will work correctly:
1. Make sure the correct version of Java is installed
2. Make sure you're referencing the correct path of the Java installation
There's no dll's required, they're a windows specific library and as such aren't necessary. I would recommend against using a batch file to execute your program, instead I would create an executable jar file. See This page for information on how to do this. The jar file will in essence function as an .exe file in windows, but it can also be run on any other system that has java installed.

If you're using an IDE, creating executable jar file is very easy. You just have to have one class with main()
Re: How to execute a Java program independent of Netbeans.
Also make sure ExecuteThis class is on the classpath, and fully qualify the package/classname.
using the default package is generally not a good idea.
eg. if ExecuteThis class resided in package my.package and was located @ c:\dist\my\package\ExecuteThis.class
then ensure that c:\dist is on the classpath, and use java my.package.ExecuteThis to execute it from the command line.

You can and should of course add a manifest file to your jar if you want it to be an executable jar file.
