                    Turn it into an executable jar Link: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5258159/how-to-make-an-executable-jar-file – Shloim Nov 22 '15 at 11:46

        You must run this from command line, and then execute java -jar {PATH_TO_JAR}

        You can use the command-line :
java -jar <yourjar> <yourMainClass>
You can also add the main class in a manifest file into the jar. Doing so, you don't need to specify anymore on command line

        Jar files needs to run in JVM - Java Virtual machine, to run your file use: "java -jar" and your jar. By doing so, you tell Java to run your jar in jvm which means it now can run.
