Executable jar file is not responding and not running - jar

I wanted to convert .java file to executable jar file,i did so in the command prompt. But everytime i double click (open) it nothing happens.
jar cf Calculate.jar Calculator.java
This is what i typed in the cmd. How to get an executable file? I use windows

That's not how it works, that way you are creating a jar archive with that .java file in it.
If you want to create the jar manually (if you want to do it one time, instead of using a build tool like ant or maven, it could have some educational value), you have to compile your .java file to a .class with javac, add it to the jar and then modify the META-INF/MANIFEST.MF manifest file to specify Calculator as value for the Main-Class attribute.
See this old guide from Sun.

Qt6 qt_generate_deploy_app_script plugin DLL copying

Currently I have to manually copy the platforms and imageformats plugin folders to the directory containing the .exe that MSVC compiled. This is very tedious as the output folders often get deleted if you're working on your CMakeLists.txt or changing compilation target.
Now qt_generate_deploy_app_script seems like an official Qt solution to solve this problem, but it does not work.
I have added the CMake bits to my CMakeLists.txt as stated
qt_generate_deploy_app_script(
TARGET HiveWE
FILENAME_VARIABLE deploy_script
NO_UNSUPPORTED_PLATFORM_ERROR
)
install(SCRIPT ${deploy_script})
I can see some generated deploy scripts appear under build\x64-RelWithDebInfo\.qt, but they do not seem to be run as no DLL folders get copied to where my .exe is.
Am I misinterpreting what qt_generate_deploy_app_script should do or is it simply broken?
If you want to Creat exe in windows From Qt project you should use windeployqt
To Deploy and create Exe output with QT in windows you should follow this way:
put your compiler path in your system path. for example, if you use mingw81_64, you should set it. something like Qt/tools/mingw81_64/bin
copy exe file that provides after building in release mode in one
folder and run mingw81_64 cmd (it has separate cmd) and cd to that
folder path
windeployqt app.exe
you are using Cmake So first create one release output and then use step 3.
This command will get all dll needs for your app and your exe will work .
if you use qml
windeployqt --qmldir (the path of its directory ) app.exe

How to convert jar file to eclipse project

I want to convert my jar file to eclipse project, so that i can make changes in the existing code. Can anyone help me with this. I tried extracting jar using jar xf myjar.jar command through command prompt but it gave me only .class files and i want to generate .java files of my project through it.

How to update a JAR file with a modfied Java file

I have one JAR named as abc.jar with 15 class files. In JAR file I need to modify xyz.class, so I decompiled to xyz.java and modified it.
How can I update that JAR with the modified Java file? While trying to create (compile) the JAR file I am getting errors.
You can add your newly compiled class to the jar and overwrite the old one, here is how to add xyz.class and xyz.java to the jar :
jar uf abc.jar xyz.class xyz.java
See here for more about updating a jar file.
Or simply you can use any archiving tool, like winrar to open and add files to the jar.
Compile the xyz.java and replace the xyz.class file directly in jar without building the jar again, if the single class has been modified.

jar file not found iexpress

I am using iexpress to make my .jar files into .exe files
for this I add the jar file(myjarfile.jar) and in run command box I type : java -jar myjarfile.jar
but after creating the .exe the cmd that is flashing says cannot find the jar file myjarfile.jar
can any body help me find what I am doing wrong
To test this, I built a simple HelloWorld.jar file (using these instructions) and tested it like so:
java -jar HelloWorld.jar
Then I made an IExpress package with it. The Install program was exactly the command I used above. This worked exactly as it should.
Two possible causes of the error:
In the IExpress wizard, there's a checkbox Store files using Long File Name inside Package. You should definitely select this option; ignore the warning that appears, as it applies to Windows 95/98. In the .sed file, this is:
UseLongFileName=1
Check that the .exe actually contains myjarfile.jar. 7-Zip will open the .exe and show you the archive contents. (IExpress .exe files are just a CAB file with a wrapper.) If the file is missing, then you'll need to check your .sed file to see what went wrong.

Copy file to destination directory in Qt Creator

I want to copy a data file from a directory in my source tree to the directory of the linked app so it's available at runtime, on Windows only. There appear to be two suggested techniques: use a post target dependency to issue a DOS copy command (Including resource files in Qt Creator build directory) or use an install step (Copy a file to the build directory after compiling project with Qt), but I cannot make either work in the way I would like.
The former requires me to use qmake path variables to generate my source and destination paths, but they contain backslash path separators, which the DOS copy command cannot handle.
The install solution forces other users of my project to set up a post build step in Qt Creator before it will work (one per configuration, in fact) and I would like to avoid this, as I want to make my project work with a default Qt Creator installation.
Is there any way to do this apparently simple task that can be wholly defined in the .pro file for the project? For example, is there a way to expand qmake path variables in a platform specific way?
Though these commands run ONLY after the executable is ACTUALLY linked, this solution doesn't require an external batch file. Note: this a Windows-only solution:
From our .pri file:
win32 {
...
# Copy the appropriate dll files into the target destination directory.
QMAKE_TBB_LIBDIR = $$quote($$PWD/MySource/MyLibs/$${PLATFORM_NAME}/vc9)
QMAKE_POST_LINK = copy /y $${replace(QMAKE_TBB_LIBDIR, /, \\)}\\*.dll > $${replace($$quote(DESTDIR), /, \\)}
...
}
This places a command in the Makefile that copies all the .dll files in MyLibs/x64 or MyLibs/Win32 into the destination directory.
However, if the executable did not need to be linked, then the .dlls are NOT copied.
The post build batch file would not have this limitation.
