1070: Mainline

Once you have a JAR file, running a standalone application is straightforward. You are accustomed to typing the following to start an application from a class file:

java MovieApplicationTestor 

To start an application from a JAR file, you type the following:

java -jar MovieApplication.jar 

Note that, for the JAR version to work, you must have created the JAR file using a manifest file, as explained in Segment 1066, that identifies the MovieApplicationTestor class as the application-starting class.
