    Default JAR-files doesn't seems to run

    Hello!

    I have an annoying problem with JAR-files. I can run the JAR-files from the cmd, but when I double click the JAR-file, nothing seems to happen. I have a program that create two files, and the files are created when I double-click the Jar-file, so my conclusion is that the file is actually running, but I can't see anything. I have JAR-files that consist of classes using Swing, and they do run as expected.


    What's wrong and what should I do?

    If there is evidence that the program has run - the two files are created - what else should you see? It sounds like you're talking about 2 different programs, one that does present a Swing UI and another (this one) that doesn't. While the Swing app works fine, this one creates the two files, stays hidden, and apparently exits. What else should be happening with this non-Swing app? Are you expecting a CMD window to open?

    Yes, I'm expecting a CMD window to open. I have a few "System.out.println" - streams that I want to see.
