Self executing program

[Scotty Steven]

I have been working on a project that has about 20 different class files, all called from a main menu. I want to make it self executing. How do I do that?

What exactly do you mean "self executing"?

I would like to click on an icon, and it run the program.

So, when it says

Main-Class: MyPackage.MyClass

The MyPackage portion would be the folder that contains all of the class files?

Not all class files. It should be the package of your main class (which contains the main method)
You can have other classes in different package(s)

Thanks! I'll go play and let you know the results.
