run stand alone jar file from flex

All,

I have a standalone database application that is a java *.jar file with a supporting library folder in the same directory.

This application is saved locally on most of my client computers, as well as can be executed across the net.

I would really like a link somewhere, preferably on the headercontroller, that will launch this application when clicked.

Is this possible? If so, any advice on how to make it happen?

Thanks,

R_
