JAR_Runner Specifications
|
Run JAR files using current Java installation.
In earlier versions of Windows & by default, JAR files were opened & run by the current Java installation. Somewhere along the way however, this file association can be broken. For example, WinRAR (a popular compression/extraction utility) may be defaulted to open the JAR files as compressed archives - allowing one to view the contained files but providing no means by which to run them. Also, later versions of Windows (currently, such as Windows 10) simply do not have JAR files associated with the current Java installation for whatever reason. So, users upgrading to 10 may suddenly find such programs are no longer loading. Yet, rest assured! The program likely still works! ...It just needs a little help loading.
