    How do I turn my app into an executable archive?

    In trying to learn a little java, I created an application to access a derby database. Now I want to make the application into an executable jar for distribution. I don't care how many jars I end up with, just so that it runs by double-clicking one. How do I do this from the command line? Nothing I've tried lets me run it by double-clicking. One other requirement, MyDB.jar cannot be compressed (if so, the app runs super slow).

    Required objects:
    Main.class
    Main$1.class
    Main$2.class
    Helper.class
    MyDB.jar
    derby.jar

    Manifest:
    Manifest-Version: 1.0
    Main-Class: Main
    Class-path: . derby.jar MyDB.jar

    To run from the command line:
    java -cp .;derby.jar;MyD B.jar Main
Working...
