    how to show the game screen in the .jar file
    I'm not sure what you are asking. A jar file can contain class files that the jvm can read and use. The jar file needs to be on the classpath for the jvm to find the class files. There are custom classloaders that can read class files from other locations like inside a jar file.

    how do i inject that into my .jar file
    If the other jar file is on the classpath, your classes can use the classes it contains.
    If you don't understand my answer, don't ignore it, ask a question.
