For deploying Java desktop apps., the best option is usually to install the app. using Java Web Start. JWS works on Windows, OS X & *nix. It offers desktop integration (e.g. desktop shortcut or menu item with custom icon) & many other 'bells and whistles'.Andrew Thompson– Andrew Thompson2013-07-14 12:53:19 +00:00Commented Jul 14, 2013 at 12:53

well, this is somewhat complicated question. when you compile you actually create a jar file, that you can run like a "normal" program. you can take that jar and run, but you need to know that your project my have dependencies on other .jars, pictures, or other type of files. therefor it may be a bit complicated. you can read more about it here or here.
here is a question about making .jar with files(pictures). you might need it

More detailed info can be found on the info-page, of embedded-resource
If you want to convert your .jar file to an "executable"/"ready to run file" look at these possible solutions.

It depends on if you are using mac or windows. I have a mac, and I just created an AppleScript to open my .class file that said:
do shell script "cd [filepath]
java [filename]"
and then saved it as an application and changed the icon, I don't know about windows though
