I have a jar file I am trying to run without the raspbian os. Basically just boot straight into the application. I have my commands to run the jar file in /etc/xdg/lxsession/LXDE-pi/autostart. Is there any way i can disable the gui and have that application startup script to still run. Also the application runs chromium browser to view the application on local host. I apologize if this is a basic or stupid question in advance.

- You cannot run a jar file without first loading some OS. Do you really mean that you don't want to run the OS?Brick– Brick2017-11-17 01:36:53 +00:00Commented Nov 17, 2017 at 1:36

No, it is not possible with Raspberry because the script
/etc/xdg/lxsession/LXDE-pi/autostart
is loaded by LXDE which is GUI. Also, you have chosen the wrong file to start your application. It should be
/home/pi/.config/lxsession/LXDE-pi/autostart
Even if you made some changes in xinit files and stopped LXDE to load. Then your jar file won't be able to open chromium because there will be no X display running.
First you need to
disablelogin to Desktop andenablelogin to console.Now make your file executable (Search the internet there are plenty of tutorials)
Now edit the
rc.localfile:sudo nano /etc/rc.localAdd these lines before exit0:
export DISPLAY=:0startx /path/to/your/fileNow reboot
Your app will now open without loading the Desktop
