You must add a small shellscript.

Code:
#!/bin/sh

### ensure, we are in the correct folder

mypath=`echo $0|sed 's/[^/]*$//'|sed 's/\/$//'`
if [ "$mypath" = "." ]; then
  mypath=`pwd`
fi
cd $mypath

java -Xmx256m -jar $mypath/ArtOfIllusion.jar


-Xmx256m reserves 256 MB for the Program, not everyone needs this option, but some do.
If the way to determine the correct folder does not work (maybe ROX 2.3), you need an absolute path:

Code:
#!/bin/sh
mypath=/usr/local/ArtOfIllusion
cd $mypath
java -Xmx256m -jar $mypath/ArtOfIllusion.jar


Save it as "run-AOI" for example, make it executable (chmod 755 run-AOI or via rightclick), then you can click on it or drag it to the Desktop.

Correct java -jar blah.jar

Also, if you rename the blah.jar to blah.zip you can open up this file and take a look inside for goodies. Mostly pics, fonts etc..

FYI

In rox right click blahblah.jar > set run action > Enter shell command > java -jar "$1"

That should make jar files clickable. (I bet you knew that)

No I am using G2's Sun full version . . .

Be interesting to get a list of jar or java files in general that run with John Murgas tiny java

my Java installer downloads and installs Java 1.5.0_4 ... the latest version is Java 1.5.0_6 i think

it's easy to install Java anyway, you just download and run the installer from
http://www.java.com/en/download/manual.jsp

then you have to symlink from the Java plugin to the Mozilla/Firefox plugins folder, and setup PATH and JAVA_HOME

my installer should setup PATH and JAVA_HOME in /etc/profile.local, but it sets it up in /etc/profile, so upgrading Puppy can disable running java from the command line (java -jar blah.jar)

it's another item in my todo list ...
