i just made a basic calculator project in netbeans, and when i run the project there the code works just fine, and when i go to docs> netbeans projects>dist>calculator.jar, and run it there it works but when i drag that to desktop and try to run it there the JFrame won’t open
here is the only class below:
package calculator;

The error that i get in the command line is:

Are you trying to double-click the JAR file? Because that won’t work.
You have to open up a cmd and type:
java -jar calculator.jar
I think it’s case sensitive, so CALCULATOR.JAR won’t work. You need the .jar extension.
There is a way to make it executable via doubleclicking but that requires extra steps.
Good luck!
