    jar files on the Windows OS will be executed by double clicking in the jar file if there is a JRE installed and there is an entry in the registry that associates .jar files with a commandline containing the java command with the -jar option.

    If the application needs a console window, create a batch file that will open the window and start the program in the jar file.
    If you don't understand my answer, don't ignore it, ask a question.

    run-> jar -cvf jarname.jar *.*; *.* is used to include the all file inside the folder like c://..//desktop/test: it means we include the all file inside the test folder.
    And then after we put the main class path inside manifest.ml file.
