    Opening a JavaProgram

    So I've just finished an application with a GUI and I want to be able to open the program without my IDE (or the commandoprompt). I want to have an icon to click like any other program. How do I do that?

    If it's a Swing application, just create a JAR. If windows is setup correctly, just double-clicking on the JAR icon will launch your program.

    alternatively, using the JAVAW.EXE program, rather than JAVA.EXE to start it, will not produce a dos box. for more info, see "jar tutorial" in my signature
