Features

jPortable allows you to easily add a Java® runtime environment to your portable device. It automatically works with apps in PortableApps.com Format like OpenOffice.org Portable. No Java® runtime environment needs to be installed on the local machine and no admin rights are required. The JVM will be downloaded directly from Oracle's servers as part of the installation process.

jPortable Launcher

In addition to using jPortable with portable apps packaged in PortableApps.com Format, you can also use our jPortable Launcher to run Java apps in JAR format. It will even automatically portablize the settings of many Java apps.

Still seeing what is going on..
Getting this error with the latest version.. I downgraded and it works fine, retried 111 and it bombs on me.

You'd need to ask the publisher of the app for that. We don't write or support FileBot. It could depend on an older version of Java or there could be a bug in the current Java version.

Sometimes, the impossible can become possible, if you're awesome!

I had a java app open when it updated, it caused the update to think it was successful, but it failed.. I just reproduced it and got the same issue. Rerunning the update with no java apps open made it work..

Is it possible to pass arguments to Java through jPortable? Specifically, I am playing Minecraft behind a proxy. I can get Java to work directly using: java -Dhttp.proxyHost=localhost -Dhttp.proxyPort=80 -Dhttps.proxyHost=localhost -Dhttps.proxyPort=443 -DsocksProxyHost=localhost -DsocksProxyPort=8080 -Xmx800m -jar Minecraft.jar

But I'd like to run this from my USB. Is there a way that I can pass these arguments using jPortable?
