Despite this being against the general SO policy on these matters, this seems to be what the OP genuinely wants:

If you'd like, you could also try creating the appropriate batch or script file containing the single line:

java -jar MyJar.jar

Or in many cases on windows just double clicking the executable jar.

Launch4j works on both Windows and Linux Mac  But if you re running Linux Mac  there is a way to embed your jar into a shell script that performs the autolaunch for you  so you have only one runnable file   exestub sh      bin sh MYSELF  which   0  2 gt  dev null       -gt  0 -a -f   0     amp  amp  MYSELF     0  JAVA OPT    PROG OPT      Parse options to determine which ones are for Java and which ones are for the Program while      -gt 0     do     case  1 in         -Xm   JAVA OPT   JAVA OPT  1             -D    JAVA OPT   JAVA OPT  1                   PROG OPT   PROG OPT  1         esac     shift done exec java  JAVA OPT -jar  MYSELF  PROG OPT   Then you create your runnable file from your jar     cat exestub sh myrunnablejar jar  gt  myrunnable   chmod  x myrunnable   It works the same way launch4j works  because a jar has a zip format  which header is located at the end of the file  You can have any header you want  either binary executable or  like here  shell script  and run java -jar  lt myexe gt   as  lt myexe gt  is a valid zip jar file
