Create a Run file in java

Question

Is there a way to create a "Runfile" in java which runs the program just by using a command run, like Makefile and make? I am using linux and have to type this command very often java -cp ../lib/*:../zookeeper-3.4.6.jar:. WordCount. It would be convenient if there was a easier way!

@MadConan Thank you for sharing the link. Although I believe that talks about creating a jar file. But I am running my code in linux, and I just need to load and run the .class files. Thank you — ASP

Make a shell script name run and place your required command.
Now make the run script executable -

chmod u+x run

Now you just execute the shell script from the terminal. If you need further improvement and if you are in ubuntu then you can create a bin directory at your home (~). Then you can place all of your commands in it. Generally your ~/.profile file contains information about the bin directory at your home. Now the bin directory works as your private bin. If your ~/.profile file doesn't contain any information about the bin directory then you can add the following line in your ~/.profile -

# set PATH so it includes user's private bin if it exists
if [ -d "$HOME/bin" ] ; then
    PATH="$HOME/bin:$PATH"
fi
