Description about Jarfix

The developer of Jarfix, Johann N. Löfflmann, released the updated version of the software 3.0.0 on Jul 06, 2017 for Windows 95 / Windows 98 / Windows ME / Windows NT / Windows 2000 / Windows 2003 / Windows 2008 / Windows XP / Windows Vista / Windows 7 / Windows 8 / Windows 8.1 / Windows 10 users. Jarfix is a utility software that helps the users in fixing the .jar association of any software. Due to the hijack of .jar files by other software, your JAVA application may fail to run. Sometimes, one or more software steals the .jar association from other applications, even if it is associated with a particular program, which fails the launch process. The review of Jarfix is very positive and shows that it helps in fixing this problem and providing the .jar association back to the software.

When a user installs Java Runtime Environment (JRE) for the first time, the software automatically attaches a .jar (JAVA archive) file correctly to the javaw.exe as it is the supporting software for the archive. Sometimes, a program steals this association, but Jarfix can easily bring it back and the user can run the program again. Download Jarfix free and fix all the JAVA-based applications.

What’s New in this Version of Jarfix

The latest version of the software has been released after making some modifications by its developer. Oracle has removed the dedicated support for JRE files so the software will now search for JDK files before searching for JRE. option /k has been added by the developer that provides a command if the user wants to search for the JDK registry only instead of JRE.

A support feature has also been added to help in finding JDK from  Azul Systems in the Windows Registry. Option /z has been added to help in finding JDK files from the Azul Systems only. Option /l has been added to search for the latest JDK and/or JRE only. Much better alternatives to the option /c were already present so the developer has removed this option in the updated version. All the links for websites have been changed to ‘HTTPS ’ from ‘HTTP for security reasons. Other minor bugs have been fixed for the overall improvement of the software.
