enclosing the files in a jar file.....but now i dont know how to
execute them......

If the company paid you while you created the project on company time,
they legally own it, not you. If it truly is not theirs, don't give
them anything.

If you have contracted to give them only class files without source,
then you can obfuscate. See http://mindprod.com/jgloss/obfuscator.html

If you have contracted to give them only an executable without source,
you can give them a jet executable. See
http://mindprod.com/jgloss/jet.html

These things should be negotiated in advance. If you are not careful
they could slap you with a huge lawsuit if you don't hand over the
source.
