I had the same problem. To make things work, I added this to the pom.xml file...

<plugin>
    <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
    <artifactId>maven-compiler-plugin</artifactId>
    <version>2.3.2</version>
    <configuration>
        <source>1.6</source>
        <target>1.6</target>
        <compilerArguments>
            <bootclasspath>${java.home}\lib\rt.jar</bootclasspath>
        </compilerArguments>
    </ configuration>
</plugin>

Actually there are 2 questions that I would like to separate: 1. How to overcome the compilation errors? 2. How to package your project into a standalone runnable jar file?

Enough was said above on the 1st one. I only want to add some general recommendation: carefully check your classpath before exporting your project: different IDEs may have diferrent libraries on the classpath set by default but when you export your code and run it from command line in some other location things stop working because the 3rd parties that were previously available are not available anymore.

Regarding the second question : you need to package all the 3rd parties you are using inside your jar. I am sure that there should be some NetBeans plugin that can help doing it.You may find this link helpfull:

Good luck!

Probably you have to add javac -XDignore.symbol.file while compiling, see Using internal sun classes with javac

Just for reference with maven it would be something like this:

<plugin>
    <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
    <artifactId>maven-compiler-plugin</artifactId>
    <version>2.0.2</version>
    <configuration>
        <source>1.6</source>
        <target>1.6</target>
        <compilerArgument>
            -XDignore.symbol.file
        </compilerArgument>
    </configuration>
</plugin>

It's got nothing to do with mysql at all. The error of compilation is clear:

C:\Users\mehdi\Documents\NetBeansProjects\project1\src\project1\NewUser.java:24: package sun.swing.table does not exist
import sun.swing.table.DefaultTableCellHeaderRenderer;

Your build failed because it couldn't find the import anywhere. Fix your imports and recompile again.

@mehdi, That error log doesn't lie. It may run with NetBeans, fair enough, try and figure out why is it failing during compilation. – Buhake Sindi Apr 04 '11 at 16:50

@mehdi, The import is from the sun.* package, which generally you shouldn't use in your code. Do you have multiple JDKs installed? Perhaps it runs correctly with Netbeans because it is using a Sun JDK, but when you run it in this other method, you are using a non-Sun JDK, so the class does not exist. – wolfcastle Apr 04 '11 at 17:09

It wouldn't harm also to right-click your project and go Properties-->Build-->Compiling at the bottom fill the Additional Compiler Options with "-Xlint:deprecation".

i fill the **additional compiler option** with **-Xlint:deprecation** but it didn't word. – Mahdi_Nine Apr 04 '11 at 16:53
You had these messages: 1. Note: Some input files use or override a deprecated API. and 2. Note: Recompile with -Xlint:deprecation for details. The compiler option resolves the second issue. You must try to find the deprecated API and get rid of it. In general Netbeans creates perfectly running jars if the input is right. – Costis Aivalis Apr 04 '11 at 18:15

I'm going to venture that you're trying to build with OpenJDK, which would not have the sun.* packages. It may run in netbeans because of Netbeans continuous compilation. Check your settings to ensure that you're using the sun JDK and things should then work.

or avoid using the sun.* packages! – Riccardo Cossu Apr 04 '11 at 17:56
I'd normally suggest it, but that would presume that he was using them without any real reason to. There are occasions when it may be necessary to use the sun packages. I had to do that when using the javax.sound apis for example. – Varun Madiath Apr 04 '11 at 18:13
I agree, I just wanna point out that if someone is using sun.* packages should be very sure about the reason he's doing that, and not use them by accident (because eclipse suggested it for example!) – Riccardo Cossu Apr 05 '11 at 07:44
