An executable JAR should work fine for a launcher on both Windows and Linux. However, that won’t get you a custom icon.
On Windows, you can use JSmooth, which will create a
.exewrapper around your JAR file. The JSmooth program will let you create an icon for the EXE as well (it also has options such as getting the user to download the necessary version of the JVM, or only permitting one instance of the program to run).
