Cannot Execute Program Error=26

Hello everyone I am working on an update function for a project that I've been working on, I can send the update perfectly fine but when it tries to execute it I get the following error:

Code :

java.io.IOException: Cannot run program "/home/josh/Desktop/MmrghClient/Mmrgh.jar": error=26, Text file busy
	at java.lang.ProcessBuilder.start(ProcessBuilder.java:1029)

I have made the file executeable and I am running Ubuntu 10.04 if that is of any help.

Here is some snippets of code for you

Code :

public void getUpdates() {
		if (config.DEBUG_MODE)
			System.out.println("Out of date attempting to update...");
		FileReceiver.startRecieving();
		System.out.println(FileReceiver.file.getAbsolutePath());
		if (FileReceiver.file.exists()) {
			FileReceiver.file.setExecutable(true); // This makes it executeable
			Execute.runProgram(FileReceiver.file.toString()); // This is where I am getting the error
		} else
			System.out.println("File does not exist.");
		if (config.DEBUG_MODE)
			System.out.println("Updated successfully!");
		System.exit(0);
	}

Code :

public static void runProgram(String path) {  
		try {
			Runtime.getRuntime().exec(path); // This should be executing it
		} catch (Exception e) {
			if (Mmrgh.config.DEBUG_MODE)
				e.printStackTrace();
		}
	}

Re: Cannot Execute Program Error=26

Java jar's aren't really stand-alone "executable programs". Rather, they're an archive which the Java Runtime has a pre-defined method for executing Java programs from.

You need to run the Java program by passing the jar to the java executable:
Code bash:

java -jar jar_file

Thanks this works!
