run an application from another computer.

[caryhutchinson]

I have written an application that I would like to distribute to other PC's in my office. Can I make it an .exe file? If not what is the minimum amount of "stuff" I need to load on the other PC's?

Also, how can I run this program from windows without going into the DOS shell?

Thanks

First of all, read my post on http://forums.javaboutique.internet....&threadid=797. This explains how you make an executable JAR and suppress the console.

You can make a Java EXE, but I wouldn't recommend it. Stick with JARs - it's nicer.

The "stuff" you'll need on the machine is simply your code and the Java Runtime Environment, which you can download from Sun.

I have found a better way. Download the JAR Wizard from this site and all your dreams come true. Then download the Java VM from sun.com and you're all set.

good luck!
