[Request]Use Java to run certain programs.

[Zantas]

Hello.

I've struggled to remove a corrupted ghost file "Java 6 Update 10"
and not succeed yet, but I've manage to get Java 6 Update 17 to work even tho the old Java ghost file remains in my add/remove list.


Now to the topic


I got newest Java Developer Kit and I'm kinda newbie when it comes to java so I don't know how to start for example Tallis Map editor with Java
further on there might be some bugs with this development kit I downloaded since i can't find any program in it's file in C that I can launch properly.


Hope some people can share some light over this.

The Java Runtime Environment (JRE) is all you need. Its nothing you can run and then get a list of applications. Java applications have .class or .jar files. Taliis has a .jar file. Normally, when you install the JRE, all .jar files should be associated with the JRE. You only need to double click on them, then.
If they aren't, you have either installed the wrong package (JDK instead of JRE) or you just didn't choose to associate extensions. You can then run taliis with the start_for_windows_dummies.cmd shortcut or via CMD and typing "java -jar taliis.jar".

Thanks for the help.

I had a very uncommon java ghost file bug, but I had it fixed now and
got the newest version of JRE and Taliis seems to work fine now.
