Oh, wow!!!! I always wanted a way how to make jave program executable. This is really... really helpful. When you upload game series, I will make that game, then turn it into executable so everyone could play, seriously, you helped me a lot! Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
Your videos are the best! I try to search something up and figure it out that way, but it's so complicated! But when I turn on one of your tutorials, I learn so much so quickly! It just becomes so easy!
Thank you for the amazing and simple video!! At first I was facing a problem that it wouldn't run, I'd double click and nothing so when I changed the 'Open with' to -> 'Java(TM) Platform SE Binary' instead of 'OpenJDK Platform binary' it would open normally, just in case anyone was facing the same issues I was!
this was EXTREMELY useful and simple. Thank you so much. I really like the content you create. Please do more project type of videos in the future (like creating java games or simple projects)

My program runs fine in eclipse and the JavaFX works great but when I export it as an executable and then try to run it. Nothing happens. Any idea why?
for some reason my jar file doesn't work on another computer, may I ask why? it says " A JNI error has occured, please check your installation and try again"
after i clicked "finished" and "ok" and tried to click the jar file on the desktop and its not running, the cmd just appeared like a second then disappear and wont run. Can you help me
For some reason, the images I added to my program don't show up in the .jar application, however, they do show up when I run the program in NetBeans. Is there any solution to this problem?
