Just tying to run it using a .command file so its double click-able. Its equivalent in Windows would basically be:

#!/bin/bash
java -jar MyJar.jar

This doesnt work in Mac world, seemingly as the script does not run in the directory it is currently in (same one as the jar), but in a home directory. Lots of info on google about such thing but any attempt to change its current directory doesnt seem to work to me using commands such as:

cd “$(dirname “$0”)” or cd “$(dirname “${BASH_SOURCE[0]}” )”

I can get the thing to run fine from the terminal window itself, but then I have navigated to the correct directory. Somehow the seemingly simple idea of double clicking a script file and having it execute in the directory it is in seems very complicated in Mac world...
