opening java applications

[mckrm]

i am tired of opening my java applications through IDE s
i wouuld like to know all the possible ways of opening my applications
without having to write any thing in command prompt
i found two i can make a .jar file or a .bat file
are there other ways ?

Does it really matter? A jar file is an executable and therefore, should be sufficient . .

Jar is the standard.

i want to know all the possible methods

you can transform your .jar into an exe (which I don't recommend, since you'll loose the ability to run your application on several platforms)
if a .jar file is not enough, well... maybe you can get some voice recognition software that 'll open it the moment you say
"run my app"
but I doubt it's very usefull :)

i like the idea of the voice recognition software
it can simplify opening the correct program
and saves time
i think i had an idea of a very useful software
