You have it wrong. .exe is limited to Windows platform. .exe extension won't work as "executables" on non windows platforms.

Even if it's Windows-only, what benefit would there be in making an .exe file? That's what double-clickable jar files are for. (And just to be clear, for most practical purposes the answer is "no, you can't do that", nor, I suspect, do you actually want to do that, even if right now you still think you do :-)

You cannot "make executable file" in java swing. Like I mentioned before exe files will tie you down to the windows platform. Since Java is platform independent, the recommended approach is self executable jar files which you mentioned you already have. Just like any "exe", this jar can be double clicked to bring up the application (provided JRE is installed)

Frankly speaking, what you are posting here is a bit confusing for me. What exactly is the problem you are trying to solve here?

i want to make setup file like as any software(jdk setup, vlc media player), which can be run any system copy a setup file(one file), and can run in own system.
Basically like as any software/tools setup file(in .exe format)

There are various Java installers available; install4j, izpack, advanced installer for java etc. Searching for "java installer" will find more.

This should be easy. There are several tools out there to help you like Ulf mentioned. Also, I used JLaunch in the past and it's quite good.
