My jar file P2.jar (which has a main method and manifest file) is located in C:\Jar Folder. I tried to run it from cmd like this:
C:SomeRandomFolder> java -jar C:\Jar Folder\P2.jar
I get the error:
unable to access jarfile C:\Jar
It works when I run it from the folder that the jar is in like this:
C:\Jar Folder> java -jar P2.jar
Why can’t I use the 1st command? Why do I have to go to the directory of my jar file?
That’s because of the space you have in the path name. On Windows, use quotes:
java -jar "C:\Jar Folder\P2.jar"
