第三方jar到exe的转换如何影响软件

Question

sorry if it feels a noobish question. My doubt is, if I converted a jar file to .exe file using software, such as exe4j or launch4j , will it still require a JRE enabled system to be able to run it, or will it just run like normal windows executable?

Also, I wanted to know if there is any other way to convert jar files to exe without using 3rd party software, also, are there any side effects of converting a jar program to exe .

Of course it needs a JRE, these tools just make it possible to run Java applications more easily on Windows. The application itself is still a Java application, it is just wrapped in a launcher.

I myself would just create a batch file to start the application (or write a few-line simple application with the single task of starting the jar ).

Update: exe4j and launch4j can embed a JRE.
