I wrote my own java program, but I don't know how to distribute it. After making 'Clean and Build' (from Netbeans) a .jar file is created for me. Do I have to distribute that or do some procedure to create an .exe file?

Java .jar files are runnable on any Java Virtual Machine. It is a design choice that allows your .jar to be portable.

So i just finished a small Java program that I've been working on throughout the week and I want to generate an .exe file of it so I can share with my friends. I'm working on Apache Netbeans 11.3 and JDK 8.
I can successfully generate the .jar file but that's pretty much useless.
If you created a java project, then the "other" computer should have the java runtime installed, in order for the jar to be executed there (java -jar your.jar) otherwise if you really want an .exe use one of the many jar2exe converters found on the almighty internet, such as ja2exe you can download it

I have a spring based workflow system where the java plugins are uploaded and kept in jar format, they are referred and used by the jar file. However, I have seen that jar file is very easy to decompile and it is a security risk.
I tried obfuscation as well. I want to run exe so that it is run at byte code so it is very very hard to reverse engineer.
You could use ProGuard as optimizer and obfuscator.
ProGuard also has a maven plugin that you can use it in the build process.

I have created a project in netbeans and I clean and built the jar file. But I double clicked on jar file doesn't run the jar file.
Why is this jar file is not running ?
you didn't give us very much information, but if you are developing in windows, and your program is all console based, when you double click the jar, it will run, but you will not be able to see it because it has nothing to show you the output in. You can get around this two different ways.
1. Develop your own console gui
2. run the jar through cmd. you can write a batch file to do this for you if you want.
