Drag and drop to desktop icon on Windows
935284May 5 2012 — edited May 8 2012My Java application is bundled in a JAR (with a MAIN). On Windows (XP, Server 03+ and Windows 7) I would like to have it so the user can drag and drop files and/or folders onto the JAR's icon on the desktop and have it launch its MAIN passing in a list of java.io.File objects representing the dropped item(s).
Is this possible? Do I need to turn my JAR into an EXE and if so can someone recommend an EXE generator tool that supports this drag-n-drop functionality?
TIA,
-Noah
