Probably a simple question but when creating executable jars

How do you change the image displayed for the jar? Like I want to have my own custom icon for instead of the default Java logo.

This is an OS related issue not a Jar one. If you are using Windows right click on a Jar file and select Properties. Then on the Properties dialog's Shortcut page select the Change Icon button.

Ok because I tried that before and I didn't see an option to change the icon under properties. Maybe I'm looking in the wrong place or something? >.>

Sorry, it picks up it's icon from the program associated with it ie java.exe so you need to change the java icon if you want to change the jar one. An alternative approach is to create a .cmd or .bat file to start the jar running and set a icon for that.
