Is there any java code or an algorithm can use it to make an application (wrote in netbeans) take any path itself for any text or folder etc... , without making browse or fileChooser? ( for example : like winrar , it can take the path itself to make compress for the text that click on ).

yes, what have you tried? Are you talking about the command line or in a GUI program? – Peter Lawrey Apr 20 '15 at 18:11

I think what you mean is the "right-click integration" of WinRAR:
If so, you can do that with any program. How this is implemented depends on your operating system:
- For Windows, Add a Registry Key
- For Mac OSX, Add it in the system-settings
- For Linux, there is no "one fits all" solution, as it depends on the file-browser you're using (Nautilus, Thunar, etz). Have a look at their documentation.
These are just some results that came up by searching for [operating-system] right click integration. Go see for yourself.

You'll get the path to the file the user clicked on as a parameter in your `main(String[] args)`-method. Check the `args`-array. – Lukas Knuth Apr 21 '15 at 08:34
