how can i make exe files for java applications?

This is the sort of thing that scripting languages are used for.

Creating an EXE file for Java sources is generally bad attempt. Java is
designed to be completely platform independent .your .class files are able
to run on any OS and hardware platform. As soon as you package them
into an EXE file, however, you've now locked your code to run on ONE OS
on ONE hardware platform.

Instead of doing this, package your classes into a runnable JAR file.
Then create a script that will launch it for the user.

hi!

thanks for your intrest

but i need to package my application with all supporting files and class files. i need to make it as a single installer to run on client machine. now i am using jar files but i need to install jre to run the jar. totally i need to install the back end then the jdk then my package. please refer me a single process to do all the process.

hi saravanan,
other than converting all the class file into jar file..i think there is no other way..since EXE file which is AFAIK is meant for windows os(may be working on mac too..correct me if am wrong) you cant make it out in your client machine which is operating through linux os....
