Try installing the Java2 package. This is what i use and it supports the -jar option. On Thu, 2002-03-07 at 10:30, Rafael E. Herrera wrote:

Hi,

Suppose you got the a FileName.jar file for some java application.

How do you run the damn code? The download pages for some of these apps say run "java -jar FileName.jar".

I've got a "java" command that belongs to the package java-1.1.8v1-19 on suse 7.3. This "java" does not have a "-jar" option so the application does not run.

Do I have the right package? If not, what do I need to install? The installation CDs have a number of Java packages that seem to be different implementations of the same thing. Which one is the most appropriate?

Thanks.
