W7 - Pinning .JAR files to the taskbar? At all possible?

[SpadTheBad]

So I have a few .JAR files that I wish to add to the Windows 7 taskbar, but when I right click it does not give me the option to do so. I'm trying to clean up my desktop since I'm on a small laptop, but I can't add them directly to the taskbar, which is an annoyance for me. Is there any way to make a shortcut on the taskbar for .JAR files? Or would I need to find a program to do this.

Drag the .jar to your taskbar and it will be added in. If that won't work, then download a .jar to .exe and put the .exe in your taskbar.

Or just right click Create Shortcut and drag that?

That doesn't work for everything. However you might be able to pin java.exe or whatever it's called and edit the command line to launch a specific jar.

Would I be able to find the correct way to do this just by searching google?

Step 1:
Locate your java binary file. For me it is in C:\Program Files\Java\jre6\bin. If thats not where it is for you, look under C:\program files\java\ and look through the folders there. You are looking for java.exe.
Step 2:
Drag java.exe to the desktop [b]while holding alt[/b]. Release the left mouse button [b]before[/b] letting go of alt. This creates a shortcut.
Step 3:
Right click on the shortcut, and go to properties, shortcut tab. Change the 'target' field to "C:\WHEREVER_JAVA_IS_LOCATED.EXE" -jar "C:\PATH_TO_JAR.JAR"
Step 4 (Optional):
Change the icon and name of the shortcut.
Step 5:
Hit OK and drag the shortcut to the taskbar.
