Unfortunately I have no access to a Mac to test it. But it seems that
starting a Java application on a Mac is not that easy. However, I have
found a document about a tool called JBindery:
 
http://developer.apple.com/techpubs/java/MacOSandJava/JBindery/JBindery.html

With this tool one can pack an executable jar file into a file that can
be then be launched like any other Mac application.

I don't know anybody who successfuly used that tool and I can't give you
further information about it. But I would be glad if you could check it
out and tell us whether it works or not.
In case you want to check it out, there is some information you need for
packaging Jave:
 The Class name is gebhard.jave.AsciiPainter
 There are no optional parameters and there should be no classpath
changes.

Hope it works,
Markus
