run java programs from the command line...howto?


hi guys,
i have written a java program which is basically a port of the famous BSD games fortune.
Whenever i have to run the program i have to do:
java jfortune <filename>
now i was just wondering how i can run this like a normal program(you know the ones which are in /usr/bin) and have it run automatically without having to have the .class file in the same directory and without having to type java.
do you think writing a small shell script to do this would work?
thanks a lot.

In the command-line, you may always have to type 'java'. If you want to use the same program regularly, then you can make a script and put it in /usr/bin:

#contents of script
java jfortune <filename>

In a GUI, you can associate the class files with java

Or you can use gcj to compile the program into executables

Then the'll run faster too

the hotspot JIT compiler has proven to be faster in cases than native executables, from what I have read... I can't back that up or explain it, but I'm certain I have seen that comment floating around in several places (IE news://comp.java.lang.programmer)
