How to generate a exe file for a java application

Hi,

Can you tell me as to how I should create a java application for a exe file?
Is there any tool for that?

You can find several tools by googling. The question is, why do you want to do this?

Hi,

I was asked in one of my friends about how to create a exe file for a existing application. Could you please answer it?

Indeed, using exe files for Java code has numerous drawbacks. http://www.coderanch.com/how-to/java/JarFiles might be a better alternative.

If its a desktop application then you can create a batch file to run the java file.

Check this article and pay attention to the following:

"You cannot"
"You should not, because that would kill the very purpose of Java"
"You can do that with third party software X and Y"

If you really have a good reason for it, and I suspect it's not optional, google for Launch4j.
