How run a JEE swing application client ?

Question

I'm making Jee tests, using NetBeans 6.8 and GlassFish v3.
I have an application that has an EJB module and two interface clients (jar app-client and war web-client).
Each client uses same ejb module.
For test the web module, I made this:
1) I set the client module for the project:
- Right click on the project (JeeTest) -> Properties -> Run
- Select JeeTest-war as client module
2) When Run the project from NetBeans, it works fine
3) Test the project directly in the web browser and also works fine.
For test the swing application, I made this:
1) I set the client module:
- Right click on the project (JeeTest) -> Properties -> Run
- Select JeeTest-app-client as client module
2) Run the project from NetBeans, it works fine
3) But, When I try test the jar file, outside NetBeans, not working
The question:
How test the swing application outside netbeans?

Hi ! gimbal2
I Launched from the command prompt: java -jar jeetest-app-client.jar
Opened the form, but when I press the button to call the ejb, returns this error:

The JeeTest-ejb module, have 2 classes:
Message.java
package ejb;
import javax.ejb.Stateless;
@Stateless
public class Message implements MessageRemote {
    public String sayHello() {
        return "Hello, from EJB !!!";
MessageRemote.java
package ejb;
import javax.ejb.Remote;
@Remote
public interface MessageRemote {
    String sayHello();
}In the JeeTest-app-client, I am trying call the ejb from a Jbutton in the form, and pass the value to a JTextField, like this:
        String message="";
        try {
            Context context = new InitialContext();
            MessageRemote messageRemote = (MessageRemote) context.lookup(MessageRemote.class.getName());
            message=messageRemote.sayHello();
        } catch (NamingException ex) {
            Logger.getLogger(MainForm.class.getName()).log(Level.SEVERE, null, ex);
        this.txtMessage.setText(message);I put the code for the project HERE
