Hi

please gays how can i convert from file .java to .Jar

[Gasper]

You don't actually convert it. jar = Java archive, just like zip or rar. To store files in jar use command line:
jar cvf JarName.jar FirstClass.class SecondClass.class

try jar --help for more info.
+ you should add manifest info file into jar to point main class and to add some informations

I think you need a manifest file also so you when you do java -jar myJar.jar it knows which class has the main method

When you use the above command jar cvf JarName.jar FirstClass.class SecondClass.class a default manifest is created in the .jar - it would look something like this if you opened it

Manifest-Version: 1.0
Created-By: 1.6.0_04 (Sun Microsystems Inc.)

You need to make it point to the class containing the public static void main(String[] args) method. To do this you would need the MANIFEST.MF file too look like this

Manifest-Version: 1.0
Created-By: 1.6.0_04 (Sun Microsystems Inc.)
Main-Class: Interface

Thats assuming your main class is called Interface.

You can open .jar files in most compression programs. If you are unsure what they are google 7-zip, i know it opens .jars

Good luck

PS : I cannot remember off the top of my head how to set the main class via command prompt
