I have a java file simpleMail.java and a jar file java-mail-1.4.jar (which is used in simpleMail.java). What I want to do is make an executable jar file out of these files and run on cmd.

If u would use intellij j, they have an option to generate a jar with all dependencies – SteelToe Mar 23 '18 at 05:05

@AnujVictor google around for "Java uberjar" and rephrase your question. What have you tried? – Bob Kuhar Mar 23 '18 at 05:06

Step 1. create manifest.txt file as Main-Class: Main-Class-Name
Step2. compile all classes.
Step 3. run JDK's jar.exe utility like:
jar cvfm JarName.jar manifest.txt .class cvfm is create a jar; show verbose output; specify the output jar file name; specify the manifest file name. (.class means all class files in the current directory.)
Step 4. specify jar dependency on classpath.
