Re: Jar files...

Try Java Web Start. It is a great way to deploy Java Swing Applications.

"Java™ Web Start provides the power to launch full-featured Java
applications with a single click. Users can
download and launch applications, such as a complete spreadsheet program or
an Internet chat client, without
going through complicated installation procedures. Once accessed through
Java Web Start, the application
integrates seamlessly with the user's desktop; from the user's point of
view, it functions just as a native
application. Additionally, Java Web Start serves users by managing Java™
Runtime Environment versions and
automatically updating the application version.
Java Web Start helps developers deploy their applications as well. The
design and development of applications
for Java Web Start is substantially the same as it is for any other Java
applications, and migrating a legacy
application to Java Web Start is, in most cases, trivial. Deploying the
application so users can access it from
a web page involves just a few simple steps on the Web server"

Thanx, PLA
