Google for a third party program for doing this, but it is not recommended. Why take a language meant for creating cross-platform software, and take that exact advantage away by turing the product into a native executable which can then only be run on one platform?

Re: can we create .exe file using java
 
I agree with Masijade, one would tend to not create an 'exe' file from a Java program. Indeed there should exist a byte code to exe compiler, though I wonder how efficient/valid one would be; Java is a growing language and some of the specifications of Java aren't easily portable to C++ (which is what a 'class' to 'exe' compiler would likely attempt to do).

What usually happens is that we create a 'jar' file. This file is recognized by Java and executes much like an 'exe' file; the only catch is that you must have Java installed, which of course you do. The easiest way is to make a 'jar' file is to use NetBeans :D

If you look as far as page 2 of the forum, this is answered in two different threads. Please take some time to find answers on your own before you ask others to hand them to you.

Yeah its possible, kills the cross platform concept of java though, but whether for proof of concept or you cant live without .exe in your windows, or for whatever reasons it maybe, yes its do-able...

well, you could use Microsoft J# .NET, but then you'd be needing the .NET Framework installed, rather than having and using Java installed.


or you can use software like "JarToExe Convert Wizard" @ http://www.regexlab.com/en/jar2exe/

or JexePack a command line tool allowing you to package your Java application (class files), optionally along with its resources (like GIF/JPG/TXT/etc), into a single compressed 32-bit Windows EXE, which runs using Sun's Java Runtime Environment. @ http://www.duckware.com/jexepack/index.html

or u can just use google look for more software, and say ... put a search like "java to exe" or something like that.


<sigh!*whenever this subject comes out, it always reminds me of Python, Py2exe*>

Hey i also got that question some tym before..i dont know the exact reason y java didnt allow to create .exe files.....

but java can create .class files.
also u can create .jar files..
jar files can be executed in java virtual machine enviorenment.there are some software tools support to create exe files in the internet.but they also not efficient...

but its not a prob when u created a .jar file....

bye....

GCJ can be located at http://gcc.gnu.org/java/, Is able to compile java into bytecode or a native executable ( don't know if this works on win32 tho ).

Launch4J is another GPL option http://launch4j.sourceforge.net/, a small JVM that ships with your software.

This post, in this thread, is not, exactly, an endorsement of your claim of having "good logic skill".
