Please help. Deployment of application locally with BC4J in JDeveloper 3.2.

Question

Dear all friends,
I am a beginner of JDeveloper. Yesterday, I asked a question involving deployment of application in this forum. However, there are no any replies to me. I am feeling a bit dispointed. Now, I would like to introduce the process I did this deployment. I wish to get any suggestions.
1. At first, I developed an project of business component in my NT computer, which is one-table component. I tested it successfully. My database (Oracle 8) is located at a Solaris server.
2. I deployed this project locally by simply archieve file. I also included all libraries (Jdeveloper runtime, JDBC, JBO runtime etc) in it.
3. I created an new project for my client interface (GUI form) by using dataform wizard. I complied and execute it. Everything is fine.
4. Before deploying, I created a library that points at the simply Jar file of my BC file in step2. And added it to the client project properties.
5. In deployment of client project, I used "web and comand line application" option. And also included all the default library (they are JBO runtime, Jdeveloper runtime, JDBC etc and the library I created in step 4). I indicated the main class.
However, when I double click this client Jar file. Nothing happened. In my imagination, it should be executed as in development process. I also think all necessary libraries and resource have been packaged into this executable jar file, which is stand alone and can be deployed to other platform. But I failed.
I need help from you. Is my action and understanding correct?
Thank you very much for help

However, when I double click this client Jar file. Nothing happened. In my imagination, it should be executed as in development process. I also think all necessary libraries and resource have been packaged into this executable jar file, which is stand alone and can be deployed to other platform. Not all the dependent jar files are packaged into a single jar. I would recommend you create a batch file, set the classpath and the launch your app. To help set the classpath you can use setvars.bat script in the bin directory. You will have to add your middle tier jar file and the client tier jar and execute java
call j:\bin\setvars.bat -tools=bc4j_local;
rem dependent jars
set classptath=%classpath%;mt.jar;ct.jar
java ....
