On OS X, when I try to run a .jar
file, the system would ask me to download Java Runtime Engine if I don't have it installed, which makes sense.
However, on Microsoft Windows, that doesn't happen; I simply get a typical window message saying I don't have any program to open that kind of file.
Is there anyway to let the user know he needs to have the JRE, because otherwise the typical end-user won't understand how to handle it.
jar
file. And it must be very thin (less than 1mb) which does not allow me to have a full package along.
