Re: Running a Java application via an icon

Hi Joe,

Sorry to be obtuse, but I'm not really sure what you are suggesting I should
do.

 How do I actually run my application without seeing the command line? Do I
create a ".bat" file, which contains the call to the Java runtime
environment and then create a shortcut to that program? Also, I wasn't sure
what you meant about the "close on exit" or the "minimised". Are you
implying that I should run something called "Minimised" that should have a
check box called "close on exit"?

I do apologise if I appear stupid and slow on the uptake, but it is Saturday
and not my best day for working! Anyway your efforts and patience are truly
appreciated.

Martyn
