Cannot open .jar files

[benburrowes]

Hi. I am working on a PC running Windows 10. I have updated Java and downloaded and unpacked the Artemis zip files. The .jar files do nothing when I click on them. I have tried telling my PC to run .jar files with Java but all that happens now when I click on artemis.jar is a command line box opens and instantly closes, then nothing.

Hi Ben,

Can you check what version of Java you have running. You can find this out using the following command:
java -version

Hi Ben

I am having the same problem - have been round and round trying to install the right version of Java and show that it's working.

I am running:
openjdk version "11.0.8" 2020-07-14
OpenJDK Runtime Environment AdoptOpenJDK (build 11.0.8+10)
OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM AdoptOpenJDK (build 11.0.8+10, mixed mode)

Did you find a solution?

Cheers
Rachel

Hello Rachel, I got it fixed, but it took me handing over my laptop to our IT department so I have no actual idea what they did. All they said is that it was something to do with permissions. Sorry I can’t be of more help.

Hi Ben - thanks so much for replying. I managed to find a really easy workaround on one of the other posts involving making a .bat file in the same folder as the artemis app :)

Glad IT were able to resolve your issue.

Old thread but here is the fix on Windows.

Download and save openJDK to your user area so it has read and write access.

Create batch files in unzipped Artemis folder, then enter in this path update UID to your username C:\Users\jj9\adoptjdk\bin\java.exe -jar artemis.jar

You may need to adjust the path in the batch file to suit, I created the openJDK folder then moved the contents of the JDK folder into it, this works without issue.

When run this will launch Artemis without the end user having to pay for a Java license.
