Java Launcher

As its name states, Java Launcher is a simple and effective utility worth having when you need to run Java applets, execute applications and debug various source codes.

Considering that Java is a class-based and object-oriented programming language that enables developers to create applications typically compiled to bytecode (class file), Java Launcher might come in handy when you need to create executable JAR files.

Java Launcher works as a Windows Explorer extension and enables you to automatically examine contents of JAR and ZIP files in details without extracting them. However, before using the utility, you need to be sure that your PC meets all the requirements, otherwise your system might crash or freeze.

What’s quite interesting is that Java Launcher does not require you to set a CLASSPATH environment variable to run a simple Java application; the Java VM looks for classes, attributes and lists in the current working directory by default.

Thus, you have the possibility to run Java applications as if they are normal Windows executable files and view general classes, check class errors and monitor streams for Java exceptions.

Another feature that Java Launcher comes with is that you can display Java source codes in text format so you can modify the scripts the way you want or simply examine each attribute, class and package and start creating your own Java applications.

Also, the utility enables you to debug Java applications and applets by selecting the proper options from the context menu. This way, you are able to view signatures of fields, methods, classes and scripts.

Last feature but not least is the Java-Help-System that enables you to automatically generate J2SE documentations without consuming various PC resources, time and money.

Because it works as a shell extension and integrates within any package, directory and file that contains Java attributes and classes, Java Launcher enables you to quickly execute JAR files, examine source codes, check class errors and debug various applications. Also, using Java Launcher you have the possibility to improve your Java knowledge in an intuitive way.
