Hi List, This is completely off-topic. I tried hours (really :-) to find answers but I'm clueless. I have .jar files I want to run but can't find out how. I tried the Jar Launcher (nothing happens), I tried Applet Launcher and Java Web Start with no luck. Do I have to install the dev tools to run java .jar files?? I also have java .class too... Many thanks for any clue! Alex :-)
