<< How to convert your Applet to an Application | FinalProjectsTrailIndex | Two Player Starter Code >>

Once you have an executable Application in a jar file, Use this to build a JNLP from this Web form (Digital Gemstones also has other tools, here )

For example, I made an Application called MatrixApp, and made sure MatrixApp.jar ran as an executable application. I then used the Web form at digitalGemstones and it made me the following file:

MatrixApp.jnlp

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<jnlp codebase="http://www.mathorama.com" spec="1.0+">
	<information>
		<title>MatrixApp</title>
		<vendor>Chris Thiel, OFMCap</vendor>
		<homepage href="http%3A%2F%2Fwww.mathorama.com"/>
		<offline-allowed/>
	</information>
	<resources>
		<j2se version="1.5+"/>
		<jar href="MatrixApp.jar" main="true"/>
	</resources>
	<application-desc main-class="MatrixApp">
	</application-desc>
</jnlp>

I uploaded it to my web site, and now you can launch it here: http://www.mathorama.com/MatrixApp.jnlp

There are a lot of good tutorials out there too like this one
