Hi Guys,

Anyone has an idea how to run a jar application on mac. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Start the terminal, type "java -jar yourjar.jar".

If Java is installed then you can double click on the jar. You might need to right click on it and choose open as it is not signed.

You can also build a DMG package.

Note: you need to install JDK to be able to use command line arguments.

install JDK

If the intend is to just run the application (not developing applications on the Mac), then the JRE should do (here or here).

Run the JAR file on the command line or terminal window if a double-clicking fails. There is also a good way described here: https://mac.eltima.com/how-to-open-jar-file-mac.html
