I'm tring to start a java app at login i'm sure i use the .xinitrc file but I don't know the right command to start it I guess. The command to start my app is "java -jar myapp.jar" it's at /opt/java/bin/. so does any one know what to put in .xintirc so that apps start auto? Thanks

For Java apps I normally use the following two export commands:

export PATH="$PATH:/opt/jre1_5_0/bin/"
export JAVA_HOME=/opt/jre1_5_0
java -jar myapp.jar
