To Answer the origonal question:
"How To convert java source code into an executable (.exe)"

The Answer is simple, Compile it ! ( just like any c/c++ source code )

i dont think SUN have a native java compiler ( javac convers the source to bytecode, to be later run by an interprever ( java ))

However, native java compilers do exist.

For Example GCJ ( part of GCC, the GNU Compiler Collection )

Nativly compiling a java application has its advanatges, for example, you dont need to have JRE installed, but you lose the abbility to "compile once, run on any operating system"

good luck.

The way i use is a program called JSmooth


dont know the website but you can just goooogle it



It takes all the class files and packages them in an exe file, and when executed searches for the JVM, so you still need to have the JVM on the users computer, but it also has an option to include the JVM ( that would be a big file )

anyways check it out, might suit your needs as long as ur programs arent too big....


note: i think there is a big in there, you might have to put all ur class files in jar files and have it read them from the jar file for it to work correctly, you might even have to set up the manifest in the jar file to make it be able to execute as a jar if you want it to execute as an exe, not sure though you should test around with it




I dont even know what he means by that Lol
