How to create a Java Application.

[Sanny]

I am able to make a .exe Application using C/C++ but when it comes to
java I am not aware how to make a application.

When making a application I need that user get a Setup Application
wizard when it clicks my Application file.

And the whole Application is loaded into the Windows/Program Files/
Folder.

And the Java App should be available on Start button/Program Files.

And it should start just like my C applications run.

Is it possible with Java and one thing I do not want to send a list of
java files. Java 1.2 is sufficient for my Application.

I am newbie with Java So any help will be considerable.

Thanks
Sanjay

One more thing.

Nowadays what is the minimum version of java each desktop has. Is it
Java 1.2 or Java 1.3 or Java 1.4.

I want my application to be run on all Desktops possible atleast 90% of
desktops it should work without any problem.

And What about Applets what version of Java the Browsers Support
1.2/1.3/1.4

Thanks

Sanny.

Hi,

There is software out there that enables you to create a windows
executable from an executable jar (e.g. exe4j by ej-technologies,
commercial).
However, from a portability point of view, this is of course a bad
idea...

For your question about the program files folder and shortcuts in the
Start menu; thats an entirely different matter. For this you need to
create an installer, using one of the many packages available. My
personal favourite is nullsoft Install System.

"J2SE 1.3.1 has begun the Sun End of Life (EOL) process."[1] Actually I
believe its EOL period is supposed to last 1.5 years, and it started on
Oct 25, 2004. With the Windows installer automatically upgrading to 1.5,
I shouldn't think there are a large proportion of people using 1.4.

I want my application to be run on all Desktops possible atleast 90% of
desktops it should work without any problem.

Are you sure that the number of desktops without Java at all is less
than 10%?
