macOS .jar to app

[Joedirt9988]

How to I take a .jar GUI programmed and turn it into a double click program that i can run. Basically i want a .jar to turn into something I can put into my applications folder and a double click run.

Any help will be appreciated

I haven't used it in a long time but I believe the application your looking for is called Jar Bundler, located in the Developer Folder -> Applications -> Utilities.

You can use the JAR Bundler app, but you can also create the JAR file with the correct manifest.inf data. That is probably a more platform neutral way to resolve your problem.

Simply include the line:
Main-Class: <fully qualified class name>

in your mainfiest.inf file.

Any system with an installed JRE will be able to execute that jar file.
