Java .class to .exe

[Justin]

Is there any way I can create a .exe file from a java .class file? I
know it undermines the platform independence of java. But, I have my
justification to do so. So please please help me.

you can use Jsmooth.
a easier way is to make a .bat file to run your app.
but both you need JRE installed.

I know it is possible (fairly straigthforward) to generate
Linux-executables from JAVA sources, with gcj, a tool from the Gnu
Compiler Collection.
As GCC can be used with Windows, look out for the 'cygwin' or 'mingw' -
toolsets, it might be possible to generate windows-executables. Give it
a try ...

( I was using the GCC C-compiler a lot under Windows, much can be done
with it (e.g. SSL
programming) )

Yes, it works on Windows as well. The only caveat is windowing
toolkits. Since gcj uses the classpath library, AWT adn Swing are very
weakly supported. However, if you use SWT, it will link in flawlessly.
Also, executables created with gcj will require the runtime dlls be
distrubuted (so's on Linux) with the executable unless staticly linked
into a jumbo executable.

I think Justion's mean is to create a .exe file from java runtime,
not change a .class file to .exe.
