Re: [Drjava-users] jar file and app

[James I-C. H. <jh...@ow...>]

Hi Mary,

The Windows App is an executable file that wraps the normal Jar file,
adding code that automatically searches for your Java installation
location and runs the Jar file.  There's no difference in the content of
the two files, but many Windows users' files associations are configured
incorrectly to run jar files, and the exe file takes care of this issue
automatically (assuming you've installed the Java SDK).

Hope this helps,
James
