For example by programming in C++ and using a C++ compiler.

You can build a runnable jar file which is a fine replacement for an .exe file in most cases.
Provided the Java runtime is available in the target environment.

Neha,

You can use exe wrappers to create exe files. for e.g. JSmooth

An .exe file can only run on a window box. However, a runnable jar file could run on ANY machine that has a JVM, including windows.

So why do you want to limit yourself?

a quick google search for "java build runnable jar" came up with dozens of decent looking hits. Pick one, try it yourself, and if you then have trouble, come back and ask your specific questions.

If you are using NetBeans, then making an executable jar file couldn't be easier: from the 'Run' menu, click the option 'Clean and Build Project'. That's all.
The jar file will be put in the 'dist' map.
