Executable Jar? - Googled for hours, tried many solns, still doesn't work!

I am fairly new to Java, and I'm just simply trying to create an executable jar that will run when I double-click on the icon.
I have created my very basic program that uses java swing on Netbeans. I have right-clicked on the project, selected properties, and checked the packaging section to make sure that it creates a jar file. I also selected compress jar file, which some tutorial told me to do as well. (I've also tried not checking compress jar file to see if it made a difference... it didn't).
I then went to folder options to make an association with the jar file to javaw.exe so that when I clicked on the icon, it would know to use javaw.exe to open it. When I double click on the jar file, it now just makes the error noise and nothing happens. Before I made the assocation, it would open up ultimatezip which would show me the original source code, the class file, and the manifest.mf file.
In any event, I'm just playing around with creating an executable jar file and any advice on how to make it so that the GUI launches when I double click on it would be extremely helpful.

Thanks for your prompt response. I just tried your suggestions. 1 & 2 both worked for me. I have fiddled around some more with my file association and have looked at several sites that go through it step-by-step and I have tried them all. I went to tools, folder options, and I have changed the association to javaw.exe
I just can't figure out what's wrong.Good. So at least you know that it is the file type association that is not working correctly.
On my Windows PC, when I edit the open Action for .jar files, the command string is
"C:\Program Files\Java\jre6\bin\javaw.exe" -jar "%1" %*Maybe that will help. Of course, the path to your javaw.exe may be different.

Recording Save for Web in an Action still doesn't work properly in Photoshop CS6 13.0.1

There is still an issue with making new actions that include saving for web. While recording the action, save for web functions as it should. But once the action is played, regardless of the original format the saved image should be, it gives it an html filename extension. This can be extremely frustating when you have an action that saves over a hundred images from a single action.
I have seen posts in Adobe forums from many people regarding this very irritating bug, including posts from Adobe employees acknowledging the bug. This was present in the Beta, the initial release, and in this 13.0.1 update. No fix.
http://feedback.photoshop.com/photoshop_family/topics/ps_cs6_actions_recorded_action_expor ts_html_instead_of_jpg
The employee acknowledged this bug THREE months ago (as of this post), yet all things considered, this doesn't seem like something that would take three months to fix!
I have spoken about this bug with a friend that is a computer programmer. Considering that the action is saving the file correctly, and it's only the name that is not saving properly indicates that this is a superficial error, and not an issue that would require rewriting the code completely. Also consider that this WAS functioning properly in CS5, and that this is a very easily reproducible bug. Adobe should have plenty of information required to correct the issue. I understand that this fix may be more or less difficult to do than what I am suggesting, but it should have been fixed by now.
I don't understand this mentality. Please Adobe... Put CS7 down for a little while, and fix what needs to be fixed in CS6. People (myself included) have paid A LOT of money for your products, it's not unreasonable to expect them to work properly. Bugs happen, it's understandable, but it's not unrealistic to expect a fix for them when the software is as expensive as it is. Is there actually any plan to correct this issue?

I have Lightroom 4 and a new 70D camera and when I try to important my photos Lightroom says it doesn't recognize my CR2 files. Can someone help? I have downloaded 8.3 from Adobe, but still doesn't work?

Lightroom doesn't use the Camera Raw plug-in. All of the Camera Raw technology is part of the Lightroom program. You will either have to upgrade to Lightroom 5 or use the DNG converter to create digital negative copies that can be used with Lightroom 4.

Is this itunes on the iPad or on my computer? Thank you for the reply.

Suddenly, Firefox won't load many websites. All I get is a blank page. I tried the fix suggested in knowledge base. Used 3 different virus/malware screens. No viruses, but some adware. Removed those, but it still doesn't work

Many common websites won't load, all I get is a blank page. I am running Windows Vista. Tried virus scans, got rid of some adware but it still doesn't work. I am now using Google Chrome. I've used Firefox for many years, but this isn't acceptable
== URL of affected sites ==
http://www.amazon.com
== User Agent ==
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.0; en-US) AppleWebKit/533.4 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/5.0.375.70 Safari/533.4

Update: This is NOT just related to "Yahoo" pages, while this problem first began with some of my Yahoo pages, it is now also happening with other NON Yahoo things I want to load up. Like Twitter, or Links in emails that load Blank, or even images within emails that show up Blank in the preview part of Yahoo mail. It is NOT a Yahoo issue as I have loaded up my Yahoo Mail in IE and Chrome, and everything loads wonderfully. I can even load up sites like Twitter, and other websites that will NOT load in Firefox, but they come up fine in other Browsers.
I have done the ONLY suggestion that came from Firefox Tech support, to load up FF in Safe Mode, but the problems still exists. I have uninstalled FF and re-loaded it, but the same problem is there.
Does anyone have any ideas here at all? I can't seem to get any Fire Fox help, so I am reaching out to the community here to see if anyone can help.... Thank you !!

Next time an app update gets stuck try a reset. Press and hold both the home and power buttons for10-15 seconds till the Apple logo appears. Then release both buttons. Wait till your iPad starts on it's own. Try now. Also YouTube is still available. If you can't find it the the app store go to the bottom of the app store page and tap purchased. All your deleted apps will be listed and you can reinstall YouTube from there.
