You'll need a native compiler. To run the exe you'll need an installed
Java anyway (most of the time), so it's not really a simplification.

Java doesn't exactly encourage creating ".exe" files.

The Java way is to make a "Jar" file - which can be launched by
double-clicking on it.

The main downside (compared to an "exe") is that there is no "application
icon" protocol. Why this appears to be missing I don't know.

if you use JNLP JWS you get one.

This is true.

Maybe one day JNLP files will have appropriate icons on them when
viewed from conventional file managers.
