I just installed JRE 1.4.1_01 on my SuSe 7.3 Pro / Intel PC I can confirm the installation was successful by typing 'java -version'

Now, I have a java app I want to run. The app is located at /some_pathname/app/AppName.jar

... the java app will launch, but it takes a VERY long time to start up (maybe 2 minutes)

EXAMPLE 2: however, if I enter the following instead: cd /home java -jar /some_pathname/app/AppName.jar

... the java app will launch almost immediately.

For my purposes, I need to be in the directory that contains the app BEFORE I launch the app (as in the first example). Can anyone tell me why this method takes much longer? I suspect it may have something to do with a

I tried that and it still takes a very long time to load. :( -- Eric Carbone -----Original Message----- From: Lennart Börjeson [mailto:lennart.borjeson@cinnober.com] Sent: Tuesday, November 19, 2002 3:16 AM To: Eric Carbone; Subject: Re: [suse-kde] Launching Java apps in KDE Try java -jar ./AppName.jar in the app directory.
