I have java installed but when I try to open it in terminal it doesn't work
I type
java -jar Minecraft.jar
the output I get is
unable to get access to jar file Minecraft.jar
How I could fix this so I can next time just click the app. My operating system is Linux
Minecraft.jar file must be in your current working directory, which seems not being the case. So you either change your working directory to where Minecraft.jar resides or give full path to it
java --jar /your/valid/full/path/to/Minecraft.jar
give the full path to jar or go to directory and run command java -jar Minecraft.jar.
I wrote a little java program and now I want to execute this .jar file from a .sh script.
my script:
#! /bin/bash
java -jar /var/spool/sms/sentSMS.jar
then i run the command: sudo bash sentSMS.sh
an get following error:
ERROR: Unable to access jarfile /var/spool/sms/sentSMS.jar
I am using a Raspberry with raspian-jessie, if this important to solve it.
Sorry, but I'm new in scripting with linux.
Take into account that the user must have at least READ permissions on that file.
Also, as you say you are new in linux, make sure the name is correct. sentSMS.jar is different from sentsms.jar
i am trying to do this tutorial it's for JNI
https://netbeans.org/kb/docs/cnd/beginning-jni-linux.html
i already did everything in there, but i am having this trouble
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: Can't load library: /home/usr/NetBeansProjects/JNIDemoCdl/dist/libJNIDemoCdl.so
at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadLibrary(ClassLoader.java:1846)

Java Result: 1
i am kind of stuck with JNI for a time now, and i could use some help, thanks
Make sure you have read/write permissions recursively over the directory structure and the lib file itself.
Try
sudo chmod ug+rwX -R /home/usr/NetBeansProjects/
That will add read/write permissions to the files and dirs, and execute permissions on directories and files that already have the execute flag for a user.
Hope this helps.
I never use mac but using windows i have faced same problem when i start working with jni.
With your problem it could be many things or one
the created dll flag is not correct, make sure you have used correct command to create dll.
i use the following command
gcc -Wall -D_JNI_IMPLEMENTATION_ -Wl,--kill-at -I"C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0\include" -I"C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0\include\win32" -shared -o Sample1.dll Sample1.cpp
for this i used mingw compiler.
in windows dll file on mac this will so.
i used the command
System.loadlibrary("youLibraryNameWithoutExtensionAndPath")
before this go to your project build path and expand jre and select native library then click brows and select folder where you put dll/so file and ok.
now try to run your code. this will solve issue.
but if the dll/so file have dependent lib then you have to put all dll file in system32 folder (in windows)
I have CQ5 executable jar file.It is suppose to be executed on double clicking.But i get error saying "could not find Main class program will exit".The same jar file executed on all my team mates machine but i am unable to execute it.
I am working on windows 7 OS.
I have jre6 installed.
I have done all steps provided in following link .jar file keeps giving me " could not find the main class". Program will exit.
my ftype and assoc is set to propervalue.
there is no problem in manifest file(becoz it executed on others machine).
all my path variables are set properly.
type of file on my system is "JAR" but on everyone else machine its "Executable JAR"
Could not figure out what is problem with my system.
Help plz.
You can alternatively try executing this command from a command console,
first CD to the location where you have the jar file and execute
For Win7 32-bit:
java -Xmx1024M -jar .jar
For Win7 64-bit:
java -XX:MaxPermSize=256m -Xmx1024M -jar .jar
if you have supported version of Java installed correctly, then the command should be able to start the CQ5 server. In that case, for fixing the double click issue, you would need to fix the filetype association of .jar files to open with /bin/javaw.exe
For supported Java versions, refer
CQ5.5 http://dev.day.com/docs/en/cq/5-5/deploying/technical_requirements.html
CQ5.6 http://dev.day.com/docs/en/cq/5-6/deploying/technical_requirements.html
I want to execute my program without using an IDE.
I've created a jar file and an exectuable jar file. When
I double click the exe jar file, nothing happens, and when I try to use the command in cmd it gives me this:
Error: Unable to access jarfile <path>
I use the command: java -jar Calculator.jar
How I created the jar:
Right click on project folder (Calculator)
Select
Click on Java Folder and select "Exectuable Jar File", then select next
Launch Configuration: Main - Calculator
Create Export Destination
Hit "Finish" and profit! Well, not really.
I had encountered this issue when I had run my Jar file as
java -jar TestJar
instead of
java -jar TestJar.jar
Missing the extension .jar also causes this issue.
Fixed
I just placed it in a different folder and it worked.
[Possibly Windows only]
Beware of spaces in the path, even when your jar is in the current working directory. For example, for me this was failing:
java -jar myjar.jar
I was able to fix this by givng the full, quoted path to the jar:
java -jar "%~dp0\myjar.jar"
Credit goes to this answer for setting me on the right path....
I had this issue under CygWin in Windows. I have read elsewhere that Java does not understand the CygWin paths (/cygdrive/c/some/dir instead of C:\some\dir) - so I used a relative path instead: ../../some/dir/sbt-launch.jar.
I had the same issue when trying to launch the jar file. The path contained a space, so I had to place quotes around. Instead of:
java -jar C:\Path to File\myJar.jar
i had to write
java -jar "C:\Path to File\myJar.jar"
Just came across the same problem trying to make a bad USB...
I tried to run this command in admin cmd
java -jar c:\fw\ducky\duckencode.jar -I c:\fw\ducky\HelloWorld.txt -o c:\fw\ducky\inject.bin
But got this error:
Error: unable to access jarfile c:\fw\ducky\duckencode.jar
Solution
1st step
Right click the jarfile in question. Click properties.
Click the unblock tab in bottom right corner.
The file was blocked, because it was downloaded and not created on my PC.
2nd step
In the cmd I changed the directory to where the jar file is located.
cd C:\fw\ducky\
Then I typed dir and saw the file was named duckencode.jar.jar
So in cmd I changed the original command to reference the file with .jar.jar
java -jar c:\fw\ducky\duckencode.jar.jar -I c:\fw\ducky\HelloWorld.txt -o c:\fw\ducky\inject.bin
That command executed without error messages and the inject.bin I was trying to create was now located in the directory.
Hope this helps.
None of the provided answers worked for me on macOS 11 Big Sur. The problem turned out to be that programs require special permission to access the Desktop, Documents, and Downloads folders, and Java breaks both the exception for directly opened files and the permission request popup.
Fixes:
Move the .jar into a folder that isn’t (and isn’t under) Documents, Desktop, or Downloads.
Manually grant the permission. Go to System Preferences → Security and Privacy → Privacy → Files and Folders → java, and check the appropriate folders.
I had a similar problem and I even tried running my CMD with administrator rights, but it did not solve the problem.
The basic thing is to make sure to change the Directory in cmd to the current directory where your jar file is.
Do the following steps:
Copy jar file to Desktop.
Run CMD
Type command cd desktop
Then type java -jar filename.jar
This should work.
Edit: From JDK-11 onwards ( JEP 330: Launch Single-File Source-Code Programs )
Since Java 11, java command line tool has been able to run a single-file source-code directly. e.g.
java filename.java
If you are using OSX, downloaded files are tagged with a security flag that prevents unsigned applications from running.
to check this you can view extended attributes on the file
$ ls -l#
-rw-r--r--# 1 dave staff 17663235 13 Oct 11:08 server-0.28.2-java8.jar
com.apple.metadata:kMDItemWhereFroms 619
com.apple.quarantine 68
You can then clear the attributes with
xattr -c file.jar
It can also happen if you don't properly supply your list of parameters. Here's what I was doing:
java -jar test#gmail.com testing_subject file.txt test_send_emails.jar
Instead of the correct version:
java -jar test_send_emails.jar test#gmail.com testing_subject file.txt
This worked for me.
cd /path/to/the/jar/
java -jar ./Calculator.jar
For me it happens if you use native Polish chars in foldername that is in the PATH.
So maybe using untypical chars was the reason of the problem.
sometime it happens when you try to (run or create) a .jar file under /libs folder by right click it in android studio. you can select the dropdown in top of android stuio and change it to app. This will work
My particular issue was caused because I was working with directories that involved symbolic links (shortcuts). Consequently, trying java -jar ../../myJar.jar didn't work because I wasn't where I thought I was.
Disregarding relative file paths fixed it right up.
In my case the suggested file name to be used was jarFile*.jar in the command line. The file in the folder was jarFile-1.2.3.jar . So I renamed the file to jarFile. Then I used jarFile.jar instead of jarFile*.jar and then the problem got resolved
It can happen on a windows machine when you have spaces in the names of the folder. The solution would be to enter the path between " ".
For example:
java -jar c:\my folder\x.jar -->
java -jar "c:\my folder\x.jar"
To avoid any permission issues, try to run it as administrator. This worked for me on Win10.
I know this thread is years ago and issue was fixed too. But I hope this would helps someone else in future since I've encountered some similar issues while I tried to install Oracle WebLogic 12c and Oracle OFR in which its installer is in .jar format. For mine case, it was either didn't wrap the JDK directory in quotes or simply typo.
Run Command Prompt as administrator and execute the command in this format. Double check the sentence if there is typo.
"C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.xxxxx\bin\java" -jar C:\Users\xxx\Downloads\xxx.jar
If it shows something like JRE 1.xxx is not a valid JDK Java Home, make sure the System variables for JAVA_HOME in Environment Variables is pointing to the correct JDK directory. JDK 1.8 or above is recommended (2018).
A useful thread here, you may refer it: Why its showing your JDK c:program files\java\jre7 is not a valid JDK while instaling weblogic server?
For me it happen because i run it with default java version (7) and not with compiled java version (8) used to create this jar.
So i used:
%Java8_64%\bin\java -jar myjar.jar
Instead of java 7 version:
java -jar myjar.jar
I had a similar problem where TextMate or something replaced the double quotes with the unicode double quotes.
Changing my SELENIUM_SERVER_JAR from the unicode double quotes to regular double quotes and that solved my problem.
this is because you are looking for the file in the wrong path
1. look for the path of the folder where you placed the file
2. change the directory cd in cmd use the right path
I use NetBeans and had the same issue. After I ran build and clean project my program was executable. The Java documentation says that the build/clean command is for rebuilding the project from scratch basically and removing any past compiles. I hope this helps. Also, I'd read the documentation. Oracle has NetBeans and Java learning trails. Very helpful. Good luck!
Maybe you have specified the wrong version of your jar.
I finally pasted my jar file into the same folder as my JDK so I didn't have to include the paths. I also had to open the command prompt as an admin.
Right click Command Prompt and "Run as administrator"
Navigate to the directory where you saved your jdk to
In the command prompt type: java.exe -jar <jar file name>.jar
Keep the file in same directory where you are extracting it. That worked for me.
This is permission issue, see if the directory is under your User.
That's why is working in another folder!
Rename the jar file and try
Explanation :
yes, I know there are many answers still I want to add one point here which I faced.
I built the jar and I moved it into the server where I deploy (This is the normal process)
here the file name which I moved already existed in the server, here the file will override obviously right. In this case, I faced this issue.
maybe at the time of overriding there can be a permission copy issue.
Hope this will help someone.
Have you tried to run it under administrator privoleges?
meaning, running the command in "Run As" and then select administrator with proper admin credentials
worked for me
I was trying this:
After giving the file read, write, execute priviledges:
chmod 777 java-repl.jar
alias jr="java -jar $HOME/Dev/java-repl/java-repl.jar"
Unable to access bla bla..., this was on Mac OS though
So I tried this:
alias jr="cd $HOME/Dev/java-repl/ && java -jar java-repl.jar"
This did not work "Unable to access jarfile"
"C:\Program Files\java\jdk-13+33-jre\bin\javaw.exe" -jar "C:\Program Files\Maxim Integrated Products\1-Wire Drivers x64\ OneWireViewer.jar"
This does work
"C:\Program Files\java\jdk-13+33-jre\bin\javaw.exe" -jar "C:\Program Files\Maxim Integrated Products\1-Wire Drivers x64\OneWireViewer.jar"
The difference is the single space in front of OneWireViewer.jar not withstanding that it is surrounded with quotes and even has other spaces.
