Just posting correct answers will be enough; wild guesses just don't make it. The only correct answer to this question is: forget it; you lose all portability while jar files themselves can easily be made executable; something the OP doesn't know.

JosAh,
I agree with you.But JDK or JRE installed in pc is needed to operate a jar file.So, if we want to give someone to the jar file,he must install jdk on his pc also.This is a burden for him, Am I right?

[Fubarable]

No, the user does not need the JDK, only developers need that. Most computers already come loaded with Java by the way.

As Fubarable already said, you only need the JRE to be installed and don't forget if you want to distribute a MS Windows executable file your users need to have MS Windows installed on their computers.

Open a file viewer, select your .jar file and open your 'file' menu; there should be an option 'open with other application' in that menu.

ps. sometimes I wonder how you people manage to actually work with your computers. You don't read any manuals, you don't experiment, you simply expect your computer to be psychic when you randomly click away ...
