JARStarter (formerly known as Hitonic JAR-Starter) is a utility tool designed for Windows users who frequently run JAR (Java Archive) or JAD files, particularly those who manage multiple Java environments on their computer.
Core Function: It allows users to run JAR/JAD files instantly by choosing the specific Java environment (JDK, JRE, or emulators) on the fly, rather than defaulting to the last installed version.
Target Users: Ideal for developers or users who need to test or launch applications across different J2SE (Java 2 Standard Edition) or J2ME (Java 2 Micro Edition) environments (e.g., Sun WTK, Nokia SDKs). Features:
Windows Integration: It integrates with Windows Explorer, allowing for quick access.
Automatic Detection: Features a flexible system for automatically detecting available Java environments.
Flexible Settings: Offers flexible settings for launching files in various environments.
If you are looking for alternatives to fix broken JAR file associations to run by double-clicking, common solutions include: Using the JARfix tool to reassociate JAR files. Manually changing the “Open with” default to javaw.exe.
