Making a Java Console Application
.everyoneloves__top-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__mid-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__bot-mid-leaderboard:empty{ height:90px;width:728px;box-sizing:border-box;
}
I wonder if it's possible to create a java console application where someone can download my packages, run and use that application in Command Line/Terminal or with some other console application.
I am very well versed in Java & the reason I'm asking is, I have a chess game which I have made to be run in command line, but how do I get it to run like an application?
To wit: On a mac, just like one who has Home brew can download formulas and use their specific commands to begin and run them, how can I do this for an already made application. Do I need a config file? Or is it just good to go as it is.
So I don't want someone to download the package and have to use the "javac/java" command to compile and run it, but can just say something like "run chess" and it does so. Any help or resources would be appreciated

Look for the key word packaging online and that is mostly what you are looking for your application.

You need to convert your .jar to .exe
There is a lot of software doing this, for example JSmooth.
You need to choose the starting application class and then run it.

.exe seems to be the way to go about this as per online resources. I don't have a .jar file(I made the application from scratch using vscode and eventually moved it into packages). Maybe I'll try setting a .jar file in an IDE (Eclipse/Intelli J maybe). and then convert to .exe and see what happens. Thanks
