How to run a Java JAR file on Windows 10

How do you run a JAR file in Windows? It's easy. You just issue a simple java -jar command and provide the name of the JAR file. But, you do need to have Java installed first, and maybe even the PATH variable set. In this quick tutorial I show you how to not only run a JAR file on Windows 10, but also how to setup Java and configure your environment so Java JAR files always run without error.

On my old PC i simple double clicked the .jar and it ran by itself, on a new pc having installed java, a .jar just opens my default browser

Hi, thank youfor this?

How do we convert .jar files to .exe and have it run without having JRE installed. Can we have a video on that?
