An executable jar is still a jar file with the "Main-Class" attribute in the manifest [1,2,3]. If you rely on other libraries, you can a) include the content of the other jars in your jar [4,5] b) set the "Classpath" attribute in your manifest and have the other jars relative to yours [3,6] c) include the other jars in your jar and use a special ClassLoader [7,8].
