Really Portable..???.

[Khumbula]

Hi,

Can one create an .exe app in Java and take it and run it on
another machine?Do I have to take all .(dot)java files to all the machines
that I want to use my app in and run javac/jview in
a batch file?

May be my question should be...How do I deploy applications to
my User machines?

Your help would be highly appreciated.

Thanks
Khumbula

Each user machine must have a Java runtime environment (JRE) installed. You
distribute the class files (*.class), not the source files (*.java). To run
a Java program (a class that has one of those public static void
main(String[] args) methods), you'll probably still run "java MyClass" but
this will refer to the "java" executable in the JRE. The JRE documentation
should explain this, it will vary depending on where it runs.
