STEP 1: Jars
Put your .class files, and any supporting media files, into
one or more jars. Copy the jar file(s) to the /jre/lib/ext folder
of your JDK installation. (If your application uses any 3rd party jars,
copy them, too).
STEP 2: Verification
Go to a MS-DOS prompt, and log into the /jre folder of your
JDK installation. Verify that your application runs correctly by using
the following command (substituting your application's startup class for
yourPackage.yourClass):
C:\jdk1.3.1\jre\> bin\javaw yourPackage.yourClass
STEP 3: Autorun Files
Right-click here
to download autorun.exe, and store it in the /jre folder
of your JDK installation. Right-click
here
to download autorun.inf, and store it in the /jre folder
of your JDK installation. Using Notepad, edit the autorun.inf file,
replacing the yourPackage.yourClass text with your application's
startup class -- the statement should be the same as the one you used in
step 2 above.
STEP 4: Write The CD
Copy the contents of the /jre folder to a CD-R. Do not
copy the /jre folder itself -- just its contents.
The CD should automatically start your application when inserted into a Windows-based computer. But be patient -- it may take a while before anything appears on the screen.
