Executable Java

[eva]

I want to create executable Java files. I know executable JAR files can serve the purpose, but they need Java run time. Is there a way to create exe of Java project?

One of the most popular questions I've seen

Here's a link to a good article about it Convert Java to EXE - Why, When, When Not and How

It's quite an interesting read

Yes I wondered why there was such a problem.

You would think they would move with the times if we are all asking for it (I asked once) after all there two different types of java programs, Applets & Applications, why not move to a third type like "--Java" a step backwards for platform dependent EXE programs, a C++ take over.

While we are at it make it so they can not write to "system" files if it is possible, just like applets can not write to files, or can only write to files it makes, if that would work to stop viruses.
