problem in starting the app in double click

[naved momin]

within netbeans i have clean and build my GUI app and i have placed the entire code for starting the app

java -jar "C:\Users\Admin\Documents\NetBeansProjects\SplitPaneDemo\dist\SplitPaneDemo.jar"

in a .bat file so that my client can double click and execute and when i click cmd also start with the app and closing the cmd also closes the app too
is there any other way so that i can make a file whatever so that i client can just double click to start the app ?

You got two options
1) Change it to javaw -jar .... (not really recommended)
2) Make sure your jar is self executable by defining the Main-Class attribute in the manifest file http://download.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/deployment/jar/appman.html
This will make your jar "executable". i.e. the user can double click the jar to launch the application (no need for the batch file)

You may need to ensure you have a file association from .jar to the Java™ runtime, but that is often set up automatically by the operating system.
