I have created a Java software with a graphical interface using SWING. I have packaged it in a runneable JAR file by using he “export” function of ECLIPSE and it runs fine on my computer.

However, the function of reading files of my software does not work on some other computers.

I guess that it must be a security permission problem.

So my question is: how to give the permissions to my Jar file or how the user can give the permissions so that my software is allowed to read file?

I’m looking for something as simple as possible as i’m not going to sell my software.

EDIT: My application is a desktop application (not an applet).

Thanks,

    1. Digitally sign the Jar.
    2. Create an XML based (JNLP) launch file for it.
    3. Launch it from a link using Java Web Start. JWS can install desktop shortcuts & menu items for it, if requested in the launch file and supported on the target OS.

    Installing applications in a way that is reliable & simple for the end user, is not easy for the developer.
