Do a Yahoo search for Java native compiler.

Answer 2

Yup, the one before is right: assume ur source code is in folder c:\x and it's names foo.java then : 1. Go to the directory where ur java source is by typing : cd c:\x 2. [press enter] 3. Compile ur code by typing : javac foo.java 4.[Press Enter key ] This should create a file called foo.class ( which is like an executable file for Windows ). This file MUST be in the same folder like foo.java ( should be in folder c:\x ) 5. Now run the .class file by typing java foo DO NOT type .class !!! 6.[press enter] You must see the output (unless another problem is there !)

This page has a lot of information on the methods and limitations of compiling a java program to an exe. (And other ways to do what I think you really want: Running the program via double click.)

It also has a link to the page in the previous response.
