There is but I have not ever done it. Look at some of the installer tools.

There is a way to do it. I'm trying to figure out exactly how though.

From what I can tell from searching the threads in here, you can do this with Inno Setup see http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=708451&messageID=4108249

and scroll down a bit.

This does intall the JRE, however, the problem I'm running into is how to set the claspath, so the jar can run.

If you have a manifest file in your jar do you really need to set the classpath? When I build my apps with netbeans it makes a executable jar file in the dist directory of the projects folder and I've never had any classpath issues on other peoples' computers...

Sorry, I was wrong, I didn't need to set the classpath.I just needed to let my application know where the JRE I bundled was. Once I figured that out, I was fine.

I created JAR file on my 1.6 JDK and it works fine. the problem is that it's not running over other versions of JDK say 1.5.plz how can I fix that ?
