Run a java program in Ubuntu on startup.

To run a java program in Ubuntu on startup, there are many way to do.
We can put command line to the /etc/rc.local:

#sudo gedit /etc/rc.local

Then add your command to run java program:

======================================

#!/bin/sh -e
#
# rc.local
#
# This script is executed at the end of each multiuser runlevel.
# Make sure that the script will "exit 0" on success or any other
# value on error.
#
# In order to enable or disable this script just change the execution
# bits.
#
# By default this script does nothing.

java -cp /home/meo/Tools/ICM.jar com.icm.ConnectionManager &

exit 0

====================================== 

Note: & for running the program in background.

How to run a jar file in command line?

Some ways to run a Jar file:

If you build a jar file as runnable, then the manifest will be created automatically. Otherwise you need to add manifest into  META-INF/MANIFEST.MF:

Main-Class: com.mypackage.MyClass (with a new line)

Now run a jar file:

1. java -cp path/to/file.jar my.classpath.ClassContainsMainMethod

2. java -jar <jar-file-name>.jar (with a runnable jar)

ClassNotFoundException for classes in other project, althought I added related projects or add project jar files to classpath ?

Sometime I get the magic exception (See at the bottom) when I run web-project with Tomcat server, I got ClassNotFoundException for some classes in other projects, although I added Jar files into classpath, or added related projects.

SOLUTION:
1. Select Tomcat Server you're running
2. Click on "Open launch configuration".
3. On new window, select Classpath tab, select on User Entries
4. Choose "Add projects" or "Add JARs", depend on your work, and then select item that you want to add to Tomcat. Note that you also need to add all jar file in the related projects.
5. Run your project again with Tomcat, you will see some changes ...

Please leave a comment if it could not solve your problem, maybe I can help if it's possible.

-> Installing mobz/elasticsearch-head...
Trying https://github.com/mobz/elasticsearch-head/archive/master.zip...
Downloading ..............................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................DONE

How to setup Java in Ubuntu ?

Answer:
To setup Java on Ubuntu OS, follow these steps:
1.  Download the JDK package on Oracle page (java7 click here), the package will be stored in /home/your account/Downloads/, assume jdk-7u75-linux-x64.tar.gz.
2. Copy the file to /usr/local or run the command: cp /home/your account/Downloads/jdk-7u75-linux-x64.tar.gz /usr/local
3. Extract the file you have just copied into /usr/local or use the command: tar xzf /usr/local/jdk-7u75-linux-x64.tar.gz, it will extract to the new folder, like jdk1.7.0_75.
4. Now we need to add new environment variable $JAVA_HOME and also add $JAVA_HOME/bin to $PATH:

• Open the file /etc/profile or run command: sudo gedit /etc/profile
• Add two lines and save it:   
• export JAVA_HOME=/usr/local/jdk1.7.0_75

• export PATH=$PATH:$JAVA_HOME/bin 

•  Log out and log in again.

5. Now you finished the setup Java on the Ubuntu environment. Check Java version again by command: java -version.

Leave a comment if you got problems, I'll help if it's possible.
