JAR File Runs From CMD But Not Via Double Clickin

Question

I made a simple java application and am trying to run it as a standalone JAR file via double clicking. It will not launch when clicked, only when using java -jar <path> in the cmd line. Please help! (I have JRE 9.0 installed. Have tried on Windows and OSX. Built using Intellij IDE). Thanks for the help in advance!

EDIT: When running from cmd on Windows, I am provided the following information:

Answer 3

I had the same issue. So I m using a shortcut file that links to a batch script . You could try it too.
But I also dont know how to do it properly. So I will call some people who could manage this.

Answer 4

Then we have to call somebody who makes apps. BTW you can run jar files by just clicking as I have saw in videos. The case with me is I get an error(ClassNotFoundException) when I run by clicking. But batch/cmd does the task.

Just curious to know how to run apps by just clicking.
