FAQ

Typical questions asked by Jar2Exe users

How to get more details of the error when generated exe fails to run?

If the exe file is generated as "GUI application" or "Service application", the console is not visible, so it is not convenient to debug when it fails to run, we do not know what is wrong.

There are 2 ways to get more detailed informations about the exception description:

  1. For "GUI application", you can create it as "Console application" for DEBUG, then you can get the exception on the Console window. For "Service application", you can use "yourprogram /test" at command line to run it as a console application.
  2. Another way, in the ".cfg" file, use a "stderr" to redirect the console to a file, for example "stderr yourprogram.log". Please refer to http://www.jar2exe.com/createdexe/intro/stdredir .

What is the mechanism of Jar2Exe?

Jar2Exe generate exe file by wrapping binary code around encrypted jar file. When a generated exe file runs, it starts the JVM and call the main method of entry point class. Jar2Exe does not compile java code into native code.

The binary code of generated exe files does not depend on MFC, STL, or VC runtime library on Windows, does not depend on GLIBC on Linux.

The independency of runtime library brings a good compatibility, but it lets the size of exe file a little larger, that the binary code is about 150kb ~ 300kb according the options. (While if the binary code depends on the runtime library, the size can reduce to 20kb ~ 100kb, but less compatibility.)

How to run generated exe on a computer without JRE installed?

When a 'jre' directory exists along with generated exe in the same directory, the generated exe will use the 'jre' directory first. The 'jre' directory need not to be INSTALLED, but just a COPIED 'jre' directory will work.

You can pack the 'jre' directory and your generated exe file into one install file, and let the 'jre' be extracted with your main exe file into the same directory. Since the copied 'jre' is justed copied, not normally installed by JRE's install file, other softwares cannot find it, so this copied 'jre' is a private JRE and used by your generated exe only.

  • See jvmdll page for more details.
  • See jre page for bundled jre.

Why "Java Environment not found" when generated exe runs?

1. JRE is required when generated exe runs. If you have not installed JRE, you can download it from http://www.java.com.

2. If you run generated exe files on 64 bits of Windows or Linux, please note that 32 bits of exe can run with 32 bits of JRE, 64 bits of exe can run with 64 bits of JRE.

3. On Linux, gcj is not supported.

Can generated exe file be re-encrypted by third-party softwares?

You can uncheck the "Self checksum" box at Step 6: Output if Jar2Exe is ACTIVATED, and then you can re-encrypt generated exe by third-party softwares.

Generated exe file cannot run after signed?

Same as to be re-encrypted, you need to unckeck "Self checksum" box at Step 6: Output, and then generated exe can be signed by 'signtool.exe' etc.

Why error "/lib/ld-linux.so.2: bad ELF interpreter" when generated exe file runs on Linux?

You're on a 64-bit system, and don't have 32-bit library support installed. You can install it like this:

yum install glibc.i686

Or

apt-get install ia32-libs

Where can I find the program version of Jar2Exe?

About menu is here:

Is there a free edition of Jar2Exe with basic features only?

Yes, those features without "Trial xxx days" are free to use:

  1. To create a console application without any of the "trial features" enabled, is free to use, the generated exe file will not expire after 30 days.
  2. At the bottom of License compare page, you can click the TrialPay button to click an advertisement, and then you can get a full featured license.

Segmentation fault

Submitted by Asfand Nadeem on

I have compiled my Java code and created an Exe for Linux. When I run it on my Linux server, I get the Segmentation fault error.
After further debugging, _findfirst(char const*, _finddata_t*)(): seems to be the issue.
Could it be because of issue in the Java code or in the Jar2Exe program?

MacOS app not working when code signed

Submitted by bluespider on

Hi I purchased Jar2Exe as the free trial limitation does not show the self checksum checkbox and I kind of figured this absolutely needed to be cleared in order for subsequent codesigning of the app to work correctly.
It seems that I might be wrong as now with the full license and "sef checksum" unchecked I still generate a perfectly working app

THAT IS UNTIL I CODESIGN IT

So codesigning obviously modifies the executable (by appending the signature block at the end) and NOTE I figure its some sort of self extractor executable!!!

codesign --deep --force --timestamp --sign "Developer ID Application: My codesigning ID"  MyApp.app

Normally I would also add the hardened runtime option and also notarize the app but since I figure its just the codesigning which messes it all up I tried just signing on its own! Once the app has been signed (and I'll wager that actually just adding anything to the end of the exe file will bugger it up) thats it GAME OVER - the app wont work.

So since signing and notatarization are mandatory for MacOS apps I ask the following question.
HOW DO I CODESIGN and still have a usable app?

I note that if I codesign (never mind even getting as far as notarizing and stapling) THEN the (launcher app itself) crashes something like this....

Error Code:      0x00000004 (no mapping for user data read)
Trap Number:     14

Now I note from the call stack that this has to be in the generated MacOS laucher App since the call stack shows what appears to be C++ code and matches strings present in the generated executable.

I also note that as long as I dont use the encrypt option that the executable can be launched as if it was the jar file itself
e.g.

java -jar exefilename

UNLESS it has been signed!!
in which case you get  something like this...

java -jar Terra-DV.app/Contents/MacOS/Terra-DV
Error: Invalid or corrupt jarfile Terra-DV.app/Contents/MacOS/Terra-DV

I eagerly await your advice and certainly dont wish to conclude in any way that for MacOS this product might possibly be unfit for purpose.

Kind regards,
Dave

Re: MacOS app not working when code signed

Submitted by bluespider on

Right, since nobody has replied I shall reply to my self!!

Now looking at the executable which was generated it is clear that it is a self extracting zip but its NOT in ZIP64 format which is VERY UNFORTUNATE indeed.

It seems that when signing ZIP files (self extractor ones or JAR files for that matter) that the COMMENT length record must be adjusted to account for the extra data added by the code signing and failure to do this will result in the ZIP file being deemed corrupted. UNFORTUNTELY this ZIP file header field which describes this comment length is only 2 bytes wide (ZIP64 format changes that ridiculously stupid limit). Now while in windows signtool might well add less than 64k of data to the end of the file alas in MacOS the codesign utility seems to add a staggering 190kB to the end of the file. 

I had hoped to modify a tool which comes with launch4j (called sign4j) with the idea being to take the original unsigned executable, a signed copy of it and to produce an output file ith adjusted ZIP comment length header which could then be signed and subsequently still remain valid. ALAS due to the limitation of 64kb on the comment length it is not possible.

IS THERE ANY WAY ZIP64 FORMAT COULD BE USED INSTEAD????

SEEMS TO ME THAT THE MacOS capability in Jar2Exe is VERY BADLY THOUGHT OUT!

I ASK THE FOLLOWING QUESTION:

IS IT FIT FOR PURPOSE?

I certainly feel as though since code signing seems to not have been considered that I have been conned out of $145USD for a product that does not do what it says on the tin!

Regards,

Dave

Thank you for your information

Submitted by Sswater Shi on

I'm so sorry for the inconvenience. The codesign on MacOS is verified, but your situation of adding 190kB may be not covered. We are preparing the zip64 but have not completed yet. If Jar2Exe does not meet your needs right now, I could launch a refund for you or you can request a refund from PayPal. We will check in this point later, I hope we could solve the problem. Thank you very much for the detailed information.

Is your screen "high density"? Are you running on JDK 8?

As I know before, it is because JDK 8 shows too small, not Jar2Exe show too big. JDK 11 will shows the same size as Jar2Exe.

What you see in WinRAR are not your classes.

When Java program starts, it needs at least one jar file as its entry point. Jar2Exe lets the exe file is a jar file at the same time. Please don't worry, those files which you see in WinRAR are not your own classes.

Runtime.getRuntime().addShutdownHook() apparently not running

Submitted by Dale Seng on

Running my project from a built as a runnable jar (no jar2exe), I see that the code in the shutdown hook thread runs properly, but if I build as an exe (using jar2exe), the code in the shutdown hook seems NOT to run. 

Should the code in the shutdownhook thread be running, or is this a limitation of a program packaged using jar2exe?

EDIT: I have discovered that sometimes programs built with jar2exe do indeed execute the shutdown hook code.  I will try to narrow the differences, perhaps flush the output to stdout will help determine if the code is running.

Corruption of History

Submitted by Dale Seng on

I am still encountering problems where the history of previous builds is repeated / corrupted.

When I use the drop-down on "Please input the jar file full path or classes directory:" item, instead of seeing one item for each project built in the past, I see one accurate item, then dozens of items that are corrupt.  These corrupt items appear to be a mixture of two build items.

This is a picture of what the corruption looks like:

Is it possible to offer a way to completely clear history to see if that helps?

Lost History

Submitted by Dale Seng on

Today when I built a project I'd never built before, my history got lost due to some corruption, I think.  The image shows the new project repeatedly added to the history, but with on character removed for each entry.

I see a file called j2ewiz.ini, dated 3/31/2015.  Could I take action to somehow restore my history using that INI file?

Corruption of History Resolved

You can search the whole C: drive for j2ewiz.ini , it is under C:\Users\<your user>\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Program Files (x86)\Jar2Exe Wizard

At Jar2Exe's view, it is under C:\Program Files (x86)\Jar2Exe Wizard , but the Windows mapped it to your HOME directory for read-write.

This problem is resolved

This problem is resolved finally. There are 2 ways to resolve:

1) Move away or rename the binary file to a different filename as the jar filename.

2) Download again the latest Jar2Exe and try again.
