You need to provide more details than that. Remember, we cannot see your screen or the commands you may have used to create the .jar file. Please explain what you did to create the jar, what output you got, and what happened when you tried to run it.

One of these days I'm going to think of a really clever signature.

Does it run if you hit the green arrow at the top? If so, just right click your project and export it Export -> Java --> Runnable Jar

[OmarSH]

it is run when i press the green button but when i export it ass jar it didnt run

[OmarSH]

i didnt use any commands ,i export it as a .jar file using eclipse IDE

Well you still have not explained what happens. Please show us exactly what commands you use to run it, and what results you see?

You cannot run java programs by clicking them, you have to use the java command, e.g.

java -jar myjavaprogram.jar

Thank you it is really worked :) but how to make it like a program (install ,desktop icon, etc)

Java is not designed to operate that way by default. However, there are some converters that may help[^].
