Windows 10: Can't open .jar files using Java 17, please help!

When I try to open .jar files using java 17 the file doesn't open. I tried reinstalling Java 17, and it still didn't work. When I clicked open with>choose another app>more apps>look for another app on this PC>Java folder>jdk-17.0.4>bin. There I found two different java files java and javaw. I tried to open the files with both and it still didn't work. This is very frustrating because I can't install things that require java or I can't open .jar files.

.java to .jar file

As a side note to Easy Rhinos comment, you can only jar .class files, meaning that you need to compile all the .java files and them jar the .class files resulting from the compilation. Example:
Code: javac Test.java jar cf Teste.jar Test.class[/quote]

 

.java to .jar file

Hi guys!
I have a problem i think i dont know how to do this little thing
I have searched around the web, but i cant find anyone to explain it how to
and where to put this code down here in order for the compilator to convert it
from .java to a .jar file so the program or games i do in neatbeans can be executed in
my mobile phone!
Anyone can help??? The code is this one:
jar cf jar-file input-file(s)

 

.java to .jar file

if you know the manual then you know you dont put the code in the program, you convert all of your java class files into a jar file using their compiler.
