How To Convert form java to exe???

Good Day Everyone, I want to ask you
How To Convert form java to exe???
e.g. I have one .java file, 3 .class
and 1 .txt and i want to put them in one .exe
file. Moreover, I want the exe programe to be
executed in any computer even computers
that have not Java Virtual Machine (JVM).

thank you...

These guys seem to have it:

an of course its free ..... NOT

If you're interested in windows executables, you might try C#. It is a language nearly identical to java (if you know java you will know a good amount of C# right away). It compiles to .exe, although it requires what's called the .NET framework, which is itself a virtual machine of sorts.

There are free utilities that will transform your java code into C# from what I remember.

Here is a place that offers a trial version
of a java2exe compiler. It takes 72 minutes to install
on a 1.8gHz/1mB pc (mine). I tried it and it really took
me back, to the bad old days of everlasting compile/link
jobs.

PS: converting to C# (a deperate java-wannabe from
the bug-mongers of mSoft) and then be in need of another VM, this time to make mr. microsoft even more
disgustingly rich, seems is a move backwards

[Philwx]

Yes, C# is indeed java's evil clone. Using it will take you toward the dark side..

[LuisFigo]

Thank you ...

But is there a free programe that make it...

I need some sites or books to learn about c#

[sjalle]

Hmm, so to save a couple of hundred dollars you move
to C# and another VM.
Hmm, what can I say ? Good luck on your sideways/slightly
backwards career move... We won't be hearing much
from from you in the futire then i guess.

BTW, what makes you think you'll be saving money by
adopting MS technology ? Just curious ...

Hi all,

To my point of view, just few java applications really need to be converted to executable. If an application had really required to be a 'real' executable, one should have take the decision during design time... and switch to C++ or other compiled languages developement.

Most of newcomers to java actually ask for a way to make their java application look like native (mostly windows) ones. This can be achieve to a point by java launchers or smart installers.

So, may I suggest Luis Figo to check theses launchers:

- http://www.syncedit.com/download_javalauncher.html
- http://www.duckware.com/jexepack/index.html
- http://www.rolemaker.dk/nonRoleMaker...a_launcher.htm

or use this free smart installer http://goldengate.zerog.com/releases/now/

Best regards,

[sjalle]

You said it.

[LuisFigo]

Thank you

but ...

these programe required JVM ...

is there any programe that makes it an does not required JVM...

Also, I study Java at University and i took 2 courses but i don't know where i can use Java if it's not converted to exe ... is it only use it as an applet???

[sjalle]

Java is a full blown programming language.
Applets are just extensions of the
java.awt.Panel class and the reason that these
can run embedded in an html page is that the browser
hooks up the client's local JVM to the applet code.

If you want to make an application you usually base that
on the Frame/JFrame class.

but how the user can use this application ???

Java files compile to .class files. You can put all your .class files inside a single .jar file, and double clicking the .jar file will execute the program.

If done correctly the program will launch as any windows program will. It automatically calls the class with the main method when you do that..

But jar files required JVM and this a problem for computers that do not have JVM

[Philwx]

Ok, then you're back to lionelBadiou's post about java installers that put everything in there for you and are executable.

By the way, I sent you a PM (private message) earlier.
