Test Out
Depending on your current configuration, your JAVA_HOME and PATH may no be properly set. In this case, simply set them up on the same Windows command line window.
1 2 3 | set JAVA_HOME=C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_101 set PATH=%PATH%\C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_101\bin |
There will be two (2) jar files generated. Choose the one without the original- prefix on the file name.
