I actually have never tried from RUNJVA, but I would think it would work.
QShell you would execute it like so:
java -jar YourJar.jar

The "-jar" is the key.

Hi James,

I didn't know about that.

If that's the case, wouldn't you be able to execute the JAR file via the
RUNJVA CL command? (Could be called from RPG via QCMDEXC or similar)

Or, failing in that, you could run it via QShell, right?

Actually, you can make a JAR executable by referencing a class in the
Manifest file with the Main-Class:. I suppose that doesn't really matter
here, because I don't think that makes a difference in RPG. I don't think
you can have a JAR "auto-execute" in RPG.
