Hey Pierre,

first of all check, if you have installed a JRE (Java runtime enviroment). You can do this by just type in the console command "java", if the command was exportet to the global cmd list. Another way is to search after the command. Do this with the following:

Code: Select all

 find / -name java 

If the command could recognized everythig ist fine, otherwise you have to install a SDK or JRE on your system.

You want to start the application with a batch file, so you need to adapt the file like the following example:

Code: Select all

/root/jre1.5/bin/java -cp you're_classpath_variables your_application &

install Java:

or

Then in Rox, navigate to the folder with your program.
If it is a .jar -file, create such a script:

Code: Select all

#!/bin/sh
cd /usr/local/myprogram
java -jar myprogram.jar

Replace myprogram with the correct path and program-name.
Save it as for example "start-myprogram", and make it executable with a right-click in Rox.
Then drag it to your desktop, and in future you can run your program with a single mouseclick.

The most reliable (Sun Java) and easiest to install is under "java" - a dotpup - download and click on the file to install
