from gnome, double-clicking on a .jar file I made just opens it. the file's being treated like a .zip file, apparently, and isn't being executed. the file does have a nice jar-icon with a bean in it, though. the following works: [thufir@localhost bin]$ java -jar HelloWorldSwing.jar what's required to make the jar run with a double-click, please? thanks, Thufir
