Just double click on the .JAR file to run it. However, in teh case it doesn't work: In order for the batch file to work, the "java.exe" program must be present in your path environment. Also, if you execute the batch file from a drive other than your system drive, the program may not start properly, in that case you should run it manually from the command prompt using "java -jar seg2106lab3.jar" from the actual path where the file is contained.
