I've made a program to help me out with some stuff, but every time I need it, I open Eclipse and Run it.
Is it possible to create an executable file so I won't need to open Eclipse every time? The commands I use is basically System.out.println() and Scanner to read what I type.
Right-click on project.
Export as runnable jar.
Main file (or StartUp or whatever you called it).File -> Export -> Java -> Runnable JAR File
You'll have to choose the main class that you want it to run. This will allow you to double-click on the JAR, and have it run that main.
You can File > Export > JAR file to export your project as a jar and put the java command to run the jar on a windows batch file. Alternatively you can File > Export > Runnable JAR file
You can either create an executable jar file (using eclipse, or a build tool like "ant" or "maven") or you can also create a "real" Windows-executable file (which you can also give to customers/friends).
I am using JSmooth a lot ( http://jsmooth.sourceforge.net/ ) - this builds a wrapper around your jar-files and can help the user with downloading and installing an appropriate java virtual machine version.
Probably the executable jar (see answer of Serplat) file is what you need :)
