As long as you installed Java correctly, then "double-clicking" (or however the target system handles launching programs from the "desktop") will work. Otherwise, it depends on the system. But, as long as you have a correctly configured manifest file in the jar, and you have installed java correctly, there is nothing more to do.

There been some issues with classpath associated with file extension under Windows when you had to swap it from JRE to JDK or vice-versa to get it working with double-click, sorry cannot remember exactly
