How to add endorsed directory to runnable jar

Question

I am using endorsed directory for some jar which can be used from command line. Now I want to make jar as runnable with endorsed directory so that user can just click the runnable jar file to run the application.

I am using Eclipse Helios and Java 6.

Can anyone tell me how to do the above mentioned task.

Regards, Ashish
