How to make executable program in java?

I would like to know how I can open my GUI program without going through the terminal? It being independent, and simply having to click on an icon and it open it.

You need to build a jar file, you can do this with the following command 

jar cf jar-file input-file(s)

The options and arguments used in this command are:

The c option indicates that you want to create a JAR file.

The f option indicates that you want the output to go to a file rather than to stdout.

jar-file is the name that you want the resulting JAR file to have. You can use any filename for a JAR file. By convention, JAR filenames are given a .jar extension, though this is not required.

The input-file(s) argument is a space-separated list of one or more files that you want to include in your JAR file.

The input-file(s) argument can contain the wildcard * symbol. If any of the "input-files" are directories, the contents of those directories are added to the JAR archive recursively.

I think you're looking for a jar file. See the Creating a JAR file Java tutorial.
