There are third party apps that do this, but many of us would like to know your overall goal, why would you want an exe file? There may be a better way to accomplish this goal.

If you try to create an exe out of this, you will be severely limiting what can run your app. I strongly suggest that you read up on and try to create a jar file. There are essentially two ways I see for you to do this: 1) NetBeans likely has a Jar-creation wizard (check out the NetBeans help sites and files), or 2) create a Jar by hand by going through the Sun tutorials that cover this subject.

To create an executable jar in NetBeans, make sure a main class is set in the project properties and "Clean and Build" either from the main menu or from the project node context menu.

(no wizard, it's a one-step process)

Cool, did not know. In Eclipse you must go through the "Export" wizard.

Try and look up a java jar exe wrapper. If you look up that you'll find a couple, you'll still need Java installed on the users computer to run the program.

Go to Run>>Build and clean project
Your exe file is stored in dist folder as jar file..
When you open the jar,The project starts to run
