Subject: I want to create Java stand alone applications
Hi all,
I want to create Java stand alone applications, but all I can see ('till
now) is how to write java applets.
Do you have advices, web sites, tutorials (URL) to share with me ?
TIA,
Emile
PS: I have some books on the subjects, but unfortunately, none takes my
way :(
Emile, I let the Apple guys explain how this relates to Apples bundles
exactly...
But Java proper has a concept of Java Executable..
This is "almost" like an EXE on windows although its still a Jar file...
So if the user double click on it in Windows... it runs.
They can add shortcuts and whatever else...
If the associations are set up on linux, they work much the same way...
What it does is carry all the dependent libs in a LIB folder at the same
level as the <executable>.jar...
and in there are all the dependent libs... so the user does not have to set
classpaths...
Thats as close as Java gets to the EXE...
The other poster was correct in saying the Netbeans is handy... because any
"java applicaiton" project is also an executable jar...
I'm not an apple user... but I imagine that apple does allow a ex jar to be
started from file... or conveniently wrapped in a bundle.
On a windows system its just used as the jar... ie there is no need to make
it a native "EXE" and break cross platform features.
The conversion to native tools on other platforms dont seem to be
terrific... apple maybe different.
Just get Netbeans... and possibly JarBundler for Apple... and that system
should work across any platform.
JarBundler been an option on Apple
... I think
