        public static 
    void main(String[] args) {
            
    Scanner in = new Scanner(System.in);
            
    System.out.println(System.getProperty("user.name"));
            
    System.out.println("Type -1 to exit");
            
    int close in.nextInt();
            while(
    close != -1) {
                
    System.out.println("Type -1 to exit");
                
    close in.nextInt();

    uble click it, it doesnt work
    Try to get any error messages by running the jar file in a command prompt window.

    Open a command prompt window
    move to the directory containing the jarfile
    Enter the command: java -jar THEJARFILENAME.jar

    Copy the contents of the command prompt window and paste it here.

    You are using a younger version to compile the program and an older version to execute it. The older version does not work with the output from the younger version.
    Can you change the programs you are using so that the compiler version is the same age as or older than the execution version?

    To see what versions you are using, enter:
    javac -version
    java -version

    52 = Java 8; 53 = Java 9; 54 = Java 10; 55 = Java 11; 56 = Java 12

    See https://www.baeldung.com/java-lang-u...edclassversion for some ideas

    Ok, you need either to upgrade the java program to 12 or to downgrade the javac program to 8.

    8 is the older version.
    12 is the newer version.

    How did you get those two versions?

    Is one a JRE (no javac program)
    and one the JDK? (has the javac program)

    What happens when you open a command prompt window and enter:
    java -jar THEJARFILENAME.jar

    If you open the File Explorer program and look at the contents of the folder with the jar file,
    what is shown in the Type column for the jar file?
    If you don't understand my answer, don't ignore it, ask a question.

    Yes, code that only uses the console won't be seen if it is executed from a jar file. It needs to use GUI.
