directory myJavaApp on drive C:. Then create a Shortcut to the
myApp.class. Next edit the properties of the Shortcut and change the line
c:\myjavaapp\MyApp.class to javaw MyApp
In the properties tab panel, you also havethe possibility to assign an icon to the Shortcut.
If you click on the newly created icon, your
Java application will start without opening a DOS box. If your application is Text mode application
use "java" instead of "javaw".
If the Microsoft JVM is used then use "wjview" (instead of "jview") to
start a GUI Java application from an icon.
