Convert JAR file to EXE excutable (Step by Step)

Hi,
Previously I talked about how to convert a jar file to exe file so you be able to share your java work with friends and make a really cool things :)

Today I am gonna explain step by step how to convert jar file to exe file

Let's start

1. Download and install the freeware JSmooth from here
 What we gonna to do is converting my program Sorting techniques simulation from jar to exe

2. Select Skeleton, and then choose your suitable method for converting (from ? icon)
     For us here we will select like the image shows, our option will make the exe file download the JVM if not found.

3. Select Executable. Browse to the location you want the exe to create to and then write down the name of the program

 4.  Select Application. Browse to select your jar file, and then browse to select the main class.

 5. Select JVM Selection.Write down the minimum JVM version.

 6. Select JVM Configuration. It is prefer to specify the maximum memory used by the program to avoid any halting of the exe file.

Now just press project menu and hit compile.

NASA's Fermi Catches Thunderstorms Hurling Antimatter into Space (antimatter particles were formed)

Scientists using NASA's Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope have detected beams of antimatter produced above thunderstorms on Earth, a phenomenon never seen before.

Scientists think the antimatter particles were formed in a terrestrial gamma-ray flash (TGF), a brief burst produced inside thunderstorms and shown to be associated with lightning. It is estimated that about 500 TGFs occur daily worldwide, but most go undetected.

"These signals are the first direct evidence that thunderstorms make antimatter particle beams," said Michael Briggs, a member of Fermi's Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (GBM) team at the University of Alabama in Huntsville (UAH). He presented the findings Monday, during a news briefing at the American Astronomical Society meeting in Seattle.

Convert Jar file to EXE executable

Hi friends,

Sometimes it is needed to convert your java application with jar extension to an exe one. That will make it easier to spread among your friends. It is sometime desirable to convert the JAR file in to EXE (executable) and distribute the EXE. Although the exe can be executed only in Windows environment, this will definitely affects the “platform independency” of a Java program. Still if you want to convert a JAR file in EXE then following tools are for you.

JSmooth .exe wrapper

JSmooth is a Java Executable Wrapper. It creates native Windows launchers (standard .exe) for your java applications. It makes java deployment much smoother and user-friendly, as it is able to find any installed Java VM by itself. When no VM is available, the wrapper can automatically download and install a suitable JVM, or simply display a message or redirect the user to a web site.

JSmooth provides a variety of wrappers for your java application, each of them having their own behaviour: Choose your flavour!

Executor

Package your Java application as a jar, and Executor will turn the jar into a Windows exe file, indistinguishable from a native application. Simply double-clicking the exe file will invoke the Java Runtime Environment and launch your application.
