JAR files don't really have an icon. (Unless you're talking about whatever Windoze displays for you). It all depends on who's displaying the icon. Ask that program's documentation where to put the icon. This isn't addressed in the JAR specification I believe.

If you are talking about changing the icon outside the Java programming using Windows, right click on Jar file | Properties | Change Icon whould do the trick.

You could also make changes to the Windows Registry ( Achtung !!), but then it would change the icon for all the jar files on the system.
