*.exe java program

Can I somehow get an exe from an java programm? Someone told me about a wrapper but didn't had any links. Can you help me with that? Thank you!

Hi Vrabie,

To answer your question, the easiest way to get an EXE file for your JAVA program, is to use a nice little program called 'exe4j'. To use this, simply compile your java program into a .JAR file and then run exe4j on it to make it into an executable jar file.

I.e if your program was called myProgram.jar, it will now be called myProgram.exe and will run when double clicked.

Cheers,
Steve

Thank you for your help. Nice stuff but not very cheap! Does anyone knows something less expensive?

gcj may work for you. GCJ Note I have never used this but my understanding is that it will do what you want.

Yes, it works just fine. Thanks!

Thank you, guys for the great software to generate .exe for Java Program... I've been using JBuilder's exe generator, which I cannot use it at home, since I cannot buy a JBuilder for my own use at home... It's good that there are such free softwares to deal with .exe file for Java programs...

Thanks...

Can you tell me 3 things, please:

How big is the exe-file?
How big was the jar-file?
Can you execute that exe-file on a machine without a current jre?
