MRJAppBuilder is the tool you need to make a double clickable application from a JAR.
Without it you can still launch a jar from Terminal (in OS X) like you do on any other platforms: see man jar.
Note that on the Mac, the jre/lib/ext folder is in /Library/Java/Extensions : where to put 3rd party jars you depend on if any.
