I'm creating a swing app that needs root permission. It works well under netbeans, because I gave root permission to netbeans, under lubuntu, but when I run the jar by double clicking, it does not work. I also tried giving root permissions to the jar file, by creating a desktop shortcut, and I edited the shortcut, and added gksudo on exec. It asks for the password, but my app still does not work. I also tried right clicking the jar, and then on permissions, where it says root, it is grayed out.
Can someone please help me?
I just don't know if I should add some piece of code to my app, so it asks for root permissions when it executes or give root permissions to the jar, and if so how can I give root permissions to the jar if I can't edit its properties. I need this to work by double clicking the jar and not through the teminal.
Thanks.

I found what was the problem and it is not the root access. The problem is that it is not including the external libraries when I build the jar file. I found this:
http://www.coderanch.com/t/419419/vc/netbeans-include-external-libraries-project
and it says there, that I can add some code to the bottom of the build.xml, but it still does not work. I added the library by going to tools and I also added a javadoc, because it is required and then added that in the app properties, I don't know if that makes a difference. Thanks.
