Is there a step by step guide to deploying a simple app?

1. Using JBuilder 3 I created a VERY simple app under myprojects/test -
   testpgm.java calls Frame1.java 
2. I compiled and ran the program. 
3. I used the deployment wizard to create a jar file (testjar.jar)
4. The jar file has all the classes I used to create the simple app.
   (I looked at the contents of the jar file and it has everything). 
5. I created a directory c:\test and put the jar file in the directory.
6. I downloaded the JRE (from SUN) and installed it in c:\jre
7. I updated my autoexec.bat file to include the path and rebooted.
   SET PATH="%PATH%";c:\jre\bin;c:\jre\lib;
   (There is nothing else in the path)
8. I opened a dos window and cd to the test directory c:\test

c:\test>jre -help 

and I get jre help - so far so good.  Then I tried several ways to
execute
the app.

c:\test>jre -cp .:testjar.jar testpgm.class        
c:\test>jre -cp .:testjar.jar testpgm             //I thought it may
append .class
c:\test>jre -cp .:testjar.jar test\testpgm.class  //Testpgm is in a
directory called test

In all cases it does not find the class I specified.  What am I doing
wrong? 

I also want to figure out how to create an Icon on the desktop to call
the app.

Any help is very much appreciated....thanks.
