I am making a simple program for my class, and my teacher will run it. I want to run it without using an IDE or the command line interface. Basically, I want a beginner friendly way of running it, something my teacher can do easily without navigating through a complicated procedure. Is there a way to do this?

1"something my teacher can do easily without navigating through a complicated procedure" If your teacher cannot run it from the command line, that's strange.peter.petrov– peter.petrov2014-10-14 13:11:50 +00:00Commented Oct 14, 2014 at 13:11

Use the Export option of Eclipse (If it's your IDE of course) and choose "Runable Jar file"

Try packaging it as a .jar file

thanks a lot! This really helped. So after packaging it as a runnable jar, will it be openable with a single click? And what program will it open in? Also, I use JCrator, is there a way to do it in this IDE?

@ShubhankarDas the Java Virtual Machine will execute it. So the JVM has to be installed on the target machine.
