rename the topic(can't hold whole post) please and try to search for the releated threads (java, icedtea) and try to search at all before asking.

i have already searched for it then i started a new thread

Re: icedtea6 how to use without icon???
 

Icedtea gives you (oa) the java command. You can start java apps (packaged in a jar) with 'java -jar jarfile.jar'. So searching for icons is fuile...

sir the result is zero i m still confuse how to use icedtea6 without icedtea6's icon?

Re: icedtea6 how to use without icon???
 

should i install some older version of icedtea6??

Re: icedtea6 how to use without icon???
 

Open up the Terminal (Ctrl-Shift-X), change to the directory where you have the jar and type 'java -jar <yourjarfile.jar>'.

You can try 'java -version' to see if IcedTea was installed correctly. It will give you some version info.

PS: Again, there are no icons for IcedTea.

Re: icedtea6 how to use without icon???

i tried ur method and type "myfile.jar"

xterminal says "myfile.jar not found"

What are you trying to run? J2ME apps won't run on icedtea6.

Re: icedtea6 how to use without icon???
 

i want to run .jar file i downloaded i from getjar.com
which i have running in my old symbian

Re: icedtea6 how to use without icon???
 

have successfully run in microemulator but there keyboard was not working in it so tried a new emulatore!!!!!!! well now if this application is not for this then what kind of apps does it run?? i want try one plz suggest some java or whatever it can run

Re: icedtea6 how to use without icon???
 

There are two types of Java. J2ME and J2DE. The ME ones are the mobile phone Java apps. The kind you'd find on your Symbian phone. The DE ones are desktop Java programs. The kind your browser will run with its Java plugin when you find a Java file online. MicroEmulator runs the ME ones. IcedTea (and some other app the name of which I don't remember) can run the DE ones. If it ran in MicroEmulator and it was originally something you ran on a Symbian phone, that means it's a J2ME Java program, and it won't run in IcedTea.

If the keyboard didn't work for you in MicroEmulator, well, there's not much else we can do for you - there's just some Java stuff that we can't run on our N900s in a way that's perfectly due to one bug or another.

Try this to have a proper interface for MicroEmulator :)

Yes. I use MicroEmulator with Icedtea6 for running .jar files and it works quit well, a little slow, but better the no java support at all.

Have a look at the below link.
