Answer 1

Netbeans: Packaging and Deploying Desktop Java Applications (Main Exercise: Creating and Distributing Executable JAR Files)

Answer 2

If you use the built in project templates NetBeans builds jar files automatically. Just select "Build" from the context menu (right-click your project node) and the jar file will be created inside a "dist" directory in project folder.
