In Java 2 (1.2 and above) there is an executable jar file capability. To use this, in the META-INF/Manifest.mf file, add the line

Main-Class: MyMainClass

where your MyMAinClass is the class with the static void main method in - ie your programme entry point. Then when the jar file is clicked on, it will run (as long as a JRE is installed on the client machine).
