You want to run an app in another jar when a button is clicked?
The easiest way is to use the Desktop class which can open a file in its default application - if you open the other jar file then the default will be to run it using javaw. It's as easy as:
desktop = Desktop.getDesktop();
File JarFile = new File(thePathAndNameOfTheJarFile);
desktop.open(JarFile);
It doesn't make the slightest difference whether you use NetBeans, Eclipse, or any other development tools. A jar is a jar.
