[CTJUG Forum] GCJ

[Ewald Horn]

OK, new setup and now my emails are not bouncing back to me when I post to the group. Has anyone had any experience using the CygWin GCJ compiler to generate native .EXE's from Java sources ? I'm still trying to find a way to distribute a Java program on a CD in a reliable fashion. At this moment I'm not sure if the license allows me to copy the JRE folders to a disk and launch everything via a custom windows application that sets the classpath variables and then launches javaw.exe with my main jar as a parameter. It works in the shop, but I'd rather not send this into the wild without knowing for certain I'm not breaking the rules.   My target market is Windows-based computers (bah! to the critics) running Win98SE or later. Most of these systems are far away from me and do not have a reliable internet connection. Downloading the JRE and installing it is beyond the abilities of my target users. Also, I'd like to NOT install anything on the HDD apart from a small folder in the user's home folder to store some basic system settings. Any feedback would be welcome.   Oh, of course, if I am not in violation of the JRE license by distributing it on CD with my application I will be quite comfortable going that route.
