    program launcher

    How can I start Java program from a desktop by clicking on an icon. I know only how to start it from a command line. I'm working under Linux and Windows, so I'm intereseted in these two cases.

    Thanks.

    Use the java tools for creating an executable jar file, a jar file works like an exe
    when the icon is clicked.
