Jar Launcher

[dkl1]

Getting prepared to do the one-click root soon as my device returns from the "Un-Bricker"! I need a .jar launcher utility for my Ubuntu system. They are readily available for Windows but I do not want a Windows version. Any suggestions? Thanks

PS: This is for my computer, not my S3.

Hey dk!
Looking at what you need and wondering if this thread would be better served here:
Computers & IT - Android Forums

Perhaps you might get more help there?

Would you like me to move it?

As I don't have a clue as to what that means

Yeah, that might work better Mike! I thought I'd do it here since it does concern rooting my device

Thanks Sir

And with a couple clicks of my trusty mouse, you are moved

Thanks for all the useful replies thus far ***BIG Sarcasm** but I believe I've discovered the answer on my own!

I believe an application called "Archive Manager" does exactly what I wanted. Hope this short thread serves to help someone else who is a bit stumped with having a .jar launcher in Ubuntu!

Have a grand and glorious day

Interesting. I'd have expected an archive manager to open the jar and display its contents as it would a zip rather than launch the jar.

Well....

Perhaps I HAVEN'T discovered my needed jar launcher! I cannot try it out until I have my new device in hand to try the one-click root method. There is one file I have to dl then "Open With..." a .jar launcher. Hmmmm...

BTW jonbanjo, thanks for chiming in here, it's refreshing to know that my dilemma is worth someone taking a few seconds to share some knowledge they may have on it

Aren't .jar files opened with Java? :dontknow:

running a .jar file should be as simple as opening a terminal and typing

"java -jar /path/to/file.jar"

I often use that method.

One thing you can do if you are regularly starting a jar from the desktop is to create a desktop short cut. On KDE, right click and Create New/Link To Application and fill in the details in the Application tab.

You gotta remember that what may be simple to one, perhaps is Greek to another...

I'm learning how to live inside a Linux world and trying to leave the MS world! I have done no terminal entries to date, but I've not had Linux system very long. Thanks for your input though
