You can do it from a shell script exactly the same way you do it from the command line.

Code:

#!/bin/bash



cd <path-to-file.jar>



exec java -jar <file.jar>

chmod +x start-script.sh
.. and .. 'cp start-script.sh /usr/local/bin/'
.. make a Desktop Entry ( Icon ) to start the application.
.....

Thanks Catkin & knudfl for your response.

I am herewith want to rephrase my question.

See I am having jar utility which currently I am running from command prompt. This utility asks for 5 inputs and then does its work after all inputs.

Now I want to create shell script for executing the jar utility and also provide the inputs say by reading data from separate file. Is this possible? how?

Once again thanks a lot for your response.

Depending on how the jar utility works it may be possible with a here document (scroll down to sections 3.6.6 and 3.6.7).
