Steps to follow when making an executable jar on Windows:
Let's assume You have Your project classes at the path C:\Project\classes
There is a directory of various classes and packages. Say the class containing starting method 'main' is this:
C:\Project\classes\mypacka
1. create a file, say 'manifest.txt' in C:\Project\classes, write the line:
Main-Class: mypackage.Main
Note: after writing the line, press Enter, so that another empty line would be created, now save the file.
2. start the command line and cd into C:\Project\classes. Run this command:
jar cvfm App.jar manifest.txt .
At this point the App.jar file is created. You can test if it runs while double clicking on it. If nothing happens, You should add an entry "." to Your CLASSPATH environment variable. If You need help on the latter, just say so.

When we execute jar file we are getting the dos screen. I want to hide that dos screen when we run the jar(application)file.
Once we get the short cut for bat file its easy to hide the window.
But after auto installation the bat file shortut created by setup generator.
Can we control the shortcut file or bat file before creating setup file.

Can you print the batch file you've got? I use this all the time and it definetaly works.
Are you running your batch file from DOS? If so then you cant get the DOS window to dissapear, but if you double click the batch file, it will open the DOS prompt, start the application, then close the DOS prompt while the program is still running.
You wont be able to start the program from a DOS prompt and have that DOS prompt closed.

Try putting a & at the end of the command to run it in background mode.
