What about a deployment solution that just requires end users to double click on the file? Batch file?

Note that this solution requires that you set the main class entry point: http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/deployment/jar/appman.html

Answer 2

+1 A:

If I understood what you want,
java -jar JarFile.jar
should work fine.

Answer 3

+1 A:

As others have suggested:

java -jar JarFIle.jar

Note this requires you to set the main class entry point

If you don't/cann't set Main-Class then you would do:

java -cp JarFile.jar package.Classname

Additionally if you associate jar file types with your JRE then double click should work too.
