After many adventures, and a full reinstallation of linux mint (this
time 64 bit, version 18.2), I am back at this impasse. I put the jar
file into the correctly named folder, but when I try to execute
java -jar /home/ets/BackupGnuCash/BackupGnuCash.jar &
I get
Error: Could not find or load main class backupgnucash.BackupGnuCash
Obviously I am missing something fundamental, despite reading the
readme.md which says:
### GNU/Linux ###
To run the project from the command line, type the following
```
java -jar "[PathTo]/BackupGnuCash.jar" &
```
E.g.
```
java -jar /home/[USER_NAME]/BackupGnuCash/BackupGnuCash.jar &
Help?

On my way into linux from windows - I am trying to get
https://github.com/goodvibes2/BackupGnuCashWin/tree/master/src/backu
pgnucash
to work under Mint 18. I've downloaded the jar file, and marked it as
executable, and tried to use the java 8 to run it ... but when I click on
the jar
file nothing happens. On the windows side, at least the window popped up
so you could set the paths. Anyone else using this program?
Hi ETS,
Jar files are only executable by java.
I suggest creating a .desktop file for easy running from your Linux gui
environment. I assume this will work for Mint as it is based on Ubuntu.
Please see section 'Running' in
https://github.com/goodvibes2/BackupGnuCashWin/blob/master/src/backupgnucash
/README.md
Plutocrat is right that not all java applications are cross platform
compatible but this one is, for at least Windows & Linux and maybe (not
tested) Mac.
Regards, Chris Good
