Re: RELEASE: Maja (VP Editor)
It is what it is. I know you're capable of copying the .jar wherever you want it and making a shortcut to it, which is all the installer would do at this point. I'd rather just have the .jar to keep track of than have an EXE that ties it to a specific platform that I also have to support. Everyone else seems happy with the way that it is right now.

I'd ask, when will Windows, OS X, and Linux support .jar files properly? There's no ambiguity about what they are, and all three OSes support file associations - so there's no reason why you shouldn't simply be able to download the .jar and double-click on it to run it. Although I have noticed that at least one version of IE tries to rename it to a .zip for reasons unknown.

Well it is really just a renamed zip file so I can understand why misidentification could easily occur. That said I'm not foolish enough to assume MS are unaware of this fact.

On Windows:

open command prompt:

start > run > type
cmd
and press enter (or command if you have windows 9x or ME)

then type this in (assuming you have Java installed, of course) and press enter

java -jar <path to .jar file eg "c:\documents and settings\jr2\desktop\blah.jar" -- yes, quotes included>

type
exit
and enter to exit the command prompt after it is done.

Or ensure you have a proper Java installation and simply double-click on the jar file.

Windows (XP and Vista) supports .jar just fine if you've actually bothered to install Java properly.
