[1337Snak3]

How do you make .exe programs?
Ya i can open notepad,type name of a .bat file and save as name.exe
But, thats nothing amazing.
How do you make the double-click open programs as runescape clients,
calcs?
Is it possible to make an exe file which runs a scar file?

Every answer to this exe area accepted!!!!!!

Doesn't your pc creates an .exe file when you compile something? Should be in the same folder as you .java (or whatever) file.

lol no, that is a .class file
a .exe file is much different and cannot be created using java ... please look through visual basic tutorials to make a .exe file

this has nothing to do with java

 

There are native java compilers but I think they are pretty picky about what libraries you use.

i always thought java was for web?

Java does way more then using it for the web; You can run Java programs on pretty much every popular platform, its also used in Smart phones and cell phones.

Limewire for instance, was made from Java.

gjc allows you to compile java source to binaries, but good luck porting something from sun java to something GNU's compiler will accept.

I think the MS Java compiler can make .exe files.
But you can't use swing (or any other packages that weren't around before JDK 1.3).

The MS Java compiler CAN make exe files, but I thought it didnt matter what version of JDK you had

God I love this topic!

The Sun Java Compiler DOES compile executable files, just not with the ".exe" extension. The compiler will compile an executable class file which can be ran through cmd, and at the same time, the JDK provides a tool to create executable ".jar" files which can hold multiple executable class files, and can be executed on a double click. Thus making Java a better language, even if it doesn't make .exes, the .jars are much better.

The Jars are alot like the Exes.

a jar file is just a zip file with a .jar as the extension lol.. so basically when u double click the .jar file, it looks for a manifest file, which tells the java.exe which file to run, or you can just specify a file to run in the jar file from the cmd window.

If you knew how, you could also make .class files runnable on double click and not "run them through cmd"

Try "executing" a java .class file without an interpreter. Not so executable now.

Maybe combine VB6.0 with Java, that would be rather funny.
I have both so...

cant do this with java

java can't make .exe files.

if you want to make .exe files, use c++
