executable java file

Is it possible to make a java program executable from an icon on the desktop without having to goto command prompt and typeing java <ProgramName>.

Thanks

you could make a.bat file, then you just put all of the necessary dos commands to run the java file, and run the .bat file and away you go...

i havent tried it but it should work

see my signature, JAR tutorial..

you cannot make java into an exe, for reasons that it runs on more systems than jsut windows.
