Executable jar that can extract some archive nested in it and do more

Question

Can anyone tell me how i can extract sfx(self -extracted) archive using executable jar if this archive is included into this jar. And how to include it.
For example: i have jar witch prints hello world to screen but also contains sfx archive in it with pictures for example, so when i double click on this jar, it should start sfx and print hello world.

hi Dear
I have tried following example and it works well and good. Here i m using jdk 1.6
package mypack;
public class Test {
public static void main(String args[]) {
try {
System.out.println("Hello World");
Process p = Runtime.getRuntime().exec("Tcpview.exe");
System.out.println("wait status " + p.waitFor());
}catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
i have created META-INF\MANIFEST.MF file in the same folder where mypack folder stays meance my folder hierarchy is this.
META-INF\MANIFEST.MF
mypack\Test.class
Tcpview.exe
I have created jar with following command
jar -cvfM mypack.jar *
and executing the mypack.jar as
java -jar mypack.jar
If after doing something like this then also if your problem not solved then do one thing that
In jar creation give one more option 0 meance
jar -cvfM0 mypack.jar *
Try and then put your comment. I have successfully runned above e.g.
