Read the article Convert Java to EXE - Why, When, When Not and How, make your opinion of what you been told and act upon it.

My opinion: stay away from EXE and use JAR

second that.
an EXE file is a windows executable, which totally ruins the whole platform-independancy offered by Java.

if you get the choice, stick to .jar files, if your client prefers to receive an exe, I was in that position once, and found that NativeJ is an easy to use application for this.
you create your jar, and based on that you can easily generate an exe file, but I recommend you don't delete the jar file afterwards
