hi
there are lot of tools available for this (i havebt used any so i
would not refer to any but theres a wide choice)

as far as your second option goes
i have written a small program in c which runs .class / . jar files
just like any normal file by double clicking it
when you first time click any .class file , your system will ask you
as default viewer is not associated with it (remove any if it is) ,
choose this program & you are done
then you can simply double click any .class file & if you have jre &
..class has main method your file will run as if you manually invoked
java.exe from command prompt

it can be supplied command line arguments , java -switches
i shall mail you if you want

regards
amey

Hi,

I recently found this tool:



It wraps your jar into a windows exe. You can specify what JRE is
required for your app and the tool will check if it exists on the user
machine. If the required JRE is not found it will direct the user to
download a suitable JRE. I've used several tools for deploying on
Windows and I have found this one to be most flexible.
