Hi James,

I didn't know about that.

If that's the case, wouldn't you be able to execute the JAR file via the RUNJVA CL command? (Could be called from RPG via QCMDEXC or similar)

Or, failing in that, you could run it via QShell, right?

Actually, you can make a JAR executable by referencing a class in the
Manifest file with the Main-Class:. I suppose that doesn't really matter
here, because I don't think that makes a difference in RPG. I don't think
you can have a JAR "auto-execute" in RPG.
