Question .jar or any sort of java file will not open.

[fatalpup]

I have been having this issue for a few days and i dont know what the problem is, because i havent had the problem until now.

I have tried opening as Admin, or with a .bat with a command like java -jar xyz.jar and disabled antivruses.
When i double click on the file, it shows the hourglass on the pointer, but nothing come of it, nothing shows up on task manager either.

The default app to open these is Java(TM) Platform SE binary
I already checked and updated java and yet the problem persists.

Any ideas on what to do?

Have you tried uninstalling JAVA and reinstalling?

Are you actually trying to open the jar file, or run it? Your title says open, which you usually want an extraction tool for (WinZip, WinRAR, etc) but your post reads like you want to run it (which, depending on what it is, may only run inside of a specific program).

What is "it"?

JAR files are Java executables. You don't normally open JAR files you execute them.

"it" being the .jar file

What specific .jar file/s are you trying to run? Not all .jar files are directly executable.

What do you mean?
When im in the file explorer, the file type says "Executable Jar File"

You still haven't answered the question..... What SPECIFIC .jar file/s are you trying to execute in this manner?

What File Explorer tells you is entirely irrelevant, it only reads the file extender and presents a pre-programmed response. A .jar file may or may not contain an actual executable. Without the actual file name/s everyone's only guessing. If you want help then provide the details requested.

contact the developer of this jar file
