How can I make a freedom Desktop application using Java

Question

I am newbie in Java. I have a little question. Suppose, I have written a code in Java like this:-

import java.awt.*;
import java.applet.*;
public class J02_02 extends Applet
{
    public void paint (Graphics g)
    {
        g.drawString("Make a Software From this Java Code",10,100);
    }
}

I have compiled it using javac command to a J02_02.class and it's running well in Java Applet . But, I want to make a freedom desktop application from this code. Think, I want to make a desktop application like any other software we use IE: Firefox, Notepad, KMPlayer. I mean, I want to run this application to a computer where java isn't installed. I want to make this .class file to an .exe software. The .exe software should run on any platform like windows/linux without installing anything else like Java/jdk.

How can I do it?

Answer 1

Ahead Of Time (AOT) compiler is the answer...

A common on AOT compiler would be Excelsior .

Answer 2

An AOT compiler is clearly an overkill in your situation.

Check out the other options in my article Convert Java to EXE: Why, When, When Not and How .

Just in case, Excelsior JET 9 supports Java 7: http://www.excelsiorjet.com
