Jar is Java Archive. It is basically similar to a zip file in that it is used to contain all the necessary classes and other files needed for a project...

In order to create an executable, create jar file for ur project, then create a .bat file with command to run the jar file (java -jar jarfile).

Hope this helps.

yes, .bat files are simple text files in which u can enter dos style commands one line after another. So, u can use notepad to create the bat file. Also, when u double click on it, it will run all the commands one after the other....

FYI, the 'bat' is short form for batch - the file is a batch-execution type...
