Here are the steps to export your program as an application:
1) Change your main method to take in String args[] --> public static void main(String args[])
2) Create a jar file by choosing project / create jar file. (A jar file is a zipped up file containing all the files in your project.)
3) If on windows, create a shortcut to this:
"C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_16\bin\java" -jar "<the full pathname + filename of your jar file starting with C:\.>"
Example
"C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_16\bin\java" -jar "C:\Documents and Settings\Joan Thirion\My Documents\junk\testit.jar"
