Answer 1

Making an executable jar is the same no matter GUI or not. You need to specify your Main-Class in your META-INF/MANIFEST.MF. See here and and here

Of course, if you want to start something on the console, just open the console and use the following: java -jar archive.jar (with the above requirements met)

Then I'd recommend using java.io.Console for reading and writing to the console.
