Unable to execute jar file on Linux subsystem in Windows
I'm attempting run a jar file, but am running into the "Unable to access jar file" error.
When I run it from the Windows path (I hope the term is right, am new to this), it runs fine:
java -jar /mnt/c/jars/filename.jar <parameter>
This runs without any issues.
I downloaded this jar into the Linux filesystem, using wget, into /home/username/jars.
I checked, and the jar file is there.
Now, when I run:
java -jar ~/jars/filename.jar <parameter>
I get an error, saying:
Error: Unable to access jarfile /home/username/jars/filename.jar
And I'm getting a similar error when i go into the jars directory and run the command:
java -jar filename.jar <parameter>
Any ideas as to what could be the problem?
From a suggestion in the comments, i ran:
ls -l ~/
and I got:
drwxrwxrwx 1 username username 512 Jan 28 11:29 jars
java windows-subsystem-for-linux jar

The.jarfile doesn't need to be executable when run withjava; however, the path to the directory needs to be executable. So check the permissions of~/jars.

Are you sure? That doesn't look like a dictionary.
