Getting Java to call Wine?

puzzler995 · Post by **puzzler995** » Sat Jun 25, 2011 7:45 pm

Okay, so I am currently trying to get a program called Wimba Classroom to work. It is a Java app that runs in the browser, but it calls an .exe file. Is there a way to get Java to call Wine when the .exe file is called, instead of the .exe file itself?
Thanks,

If it was just a java app, you could launch that with java installed on
wine. But the browser messes here. Maybe if you fired the browser under
wine...

if you have in your OS set to handle running a .exe with Wine... then if you "run" the exe file, it should run right under the program you have set (Wine) for a exe... shouldn't it?
