I have been working on this problem too.
I found the best way is to put your class files in a package, and put the
package in a JAR file.
I found this web site most helpful.

Here is a way to make a single command to start
a java program - but it's not an executable file.

1. Make all the classes part of a package.
2. Put all the class files in a jar file.
3. Create a batch file or shell script to start it.

For example, assume your application has three classes:
Class1.class (this one has the main method)
Class2.class
Class3.class

Put them all in a package, e.g., MyPackage.jar

Create a batch file with the following contents:

java -cp ./MyPackage.jar MyPackage/Class1

Assuming your users have java installed, you only
have two files to distribute - the batch file and the
jar file. And the user can start the program just by
executing the batch file.

rob and Alan gave you the low-down on
the advantage of jar files,
<http://www.physci.org/codes/javafaq.jsp#jar>
...and for delivering you app to the client by JWS
<http://www.physci.org/codes/javafaq.jsp#jws>

But I will also add some details to your 'exe' option
<http://www.physci.org/codes/javafaq.jsp#exe>
(which also links to Roedy's site, as that seems
the most comphrehensive page describing
native compilation)

*snip*
You don't need the batch file. Include a manifest file in the JAR specifying
the main class. Then you can double click the JAR to run. I'm not sure what
all Java versions automatically associate a Java runtime with JAR files.
Anyone?

Hi,

You could try NativeJ @ http://www.dobysoft.com/products/nativej/index.html.

I have used it with good results.
