define: installer.
you can create a jar file containing your entire application if need be, just copy paste run.

i say how i create .exe file installer type

[stultuske]

best way: not at all.
one of the main and basic strengths of Java is that it's platform independent. you would wrap it in a platform dependent installer, which doesn't even add any functional value.

thre are always self extracting archives you can take a look at, but I wouldn't go for a native installer.

you think i make jar executable file instead of installer

If you do find you need an installer, take a look at IzPack.
