how to run build codenameone builds? - codenameone

Question

Ok, I ran some of the demos under the simular from eclipse. Submitted a desktop build and got a jar. Now how do I run the jar? It doesn't seem
to be directly runnable.
Also, where should I have found this information instead of asking
a bonehead question here?

Normally, desktop build was supposed to return exe file for windows and dmg for Mac. Something might have gone wrong for you to get jar file.
You can find bunch of information on How do I page and here's a link to desktop build.
Another thing you can do is prefix your Google search with https://www.codenameone.com.
For example, search for desktop build like this: https://www.codenameone.com desktop application
I will also suggest you follow Codenameone blog, as new features, latest release and archive of many cool stuff released in the past are available there.
