Running (not during development but in production) java application from terminal or command prompt like git or maven or java or javac

I have created my Java CLI application (maven, executable jar). Everytime I want to run it I have to put java -jar myapp.jar. How can I make it run without putting "java -jar"? The same way git runs e.g. git add . or like maven e.g. mvn package. I want it to run like myapp create 'file-name' where myapp is the name of my application? I want to open terminal and just type the name of my application and put arguments.

Are we talking windows or linux? What you typically do is create a batch or bash script to will run the java executable with the correct parameters. For example, on linux you can add a script in /usr/local/bin/myprogram with something like this in the contents:

!/bin/bash
/usr/bin/java [options] -jar /usr/local/libs/myprogram.jar $*

On windows you can create a batch file. What you typically do is in the installation directory of your jar file, add a myprogram.bat with something like this in the contents:

@ECHO OFF
%JAVA_HOME%\bin\java [options] -jar myprogram.jar %*

Then put your jar in the right place and you can execute it anywhere with myprogram. Now if you add your directory to the PATH environment variable, you can execute this program anywhere from the command line.

For example, see https://www.java.com/nl/download/help/path.xml for adding things to you path.
