Hi

Sorry to repeat that once again but packaging a whole application as a single JAR is a very bad idea, it's dirty and it will obviously not work on a lot of machines because other applications may try to open the JAR instead of allowing the user to run your program, for example Arch under GNU Linux and WinRAR under Windows. Rather use Java Web Start with several JARs, don't put everything into the same JAR. If you need an example, look at the Ant script used in my game.
