Title: RE: Generating EXE code for JAVA

Like a Windows platform with a built-in JVM is likely! :-)   Microsoft seem to be doing everything they can to distract everyone from Java's existence (.NET, C#, etc) - they even have something for Java developers, on how to port their Java code to .NET (beware the bottomless Microsoft pit, your software will never escape from it) -----Original Message----- From: Pepelis, Aaron <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: 'Josh Howe' <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; Java - Swing <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: Wednesday, February 28, 2001 02:55 Subject: RE: Generating EXE code for JAVA "Specifies the minimum java.version that your Java code requires. You should always specify a reasonable minimum java version to prevent errors when someone tries to run your program on a computer with an old Java VM. "   that's one of the parameters.. so they just need a JVM... were you sending it to a MAC user? MAC have built in JVM's.  Windows and others are way too far behind on this. aaron -----Original Message----- From: Josh Howe [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, February 28, 2001 9:55 AM To: Pepelis, Aaron; Java - Swing Subject: RE: Generating EXE code for JAVA I don't know. I've sent the .exe to some friends who I'm certain have never installed the JRE, and it worked fine. Unless the JRE was installed by some other software on their system, is that likely?     -----Original Message----- From: Pepelis, Aaron [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, February 28, 2001 9:45 AM To: 'Josh Howe' Subject: RE: Generating EXE code for JAVA well.. my company made somethign like that, the problem is you need the JRE to use it. that's what I would like to avoid and why excelsior is so huge, you don't need actually, you don't use  the jre with it. -----Original Message----- From: Josh Howe [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, February 28, 2001 9:45 AM To: Pepelis, Aaron Subject: RE: Generating EXE code for JAVA I've used this a few times. The .exe for my small program was only 300k or so.     http://www.duckware.com/java2exe.html -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Pepelis, Aaron Sent: Wednesday, February 28, 2001 7:37 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: Generating EXE code for JAVA I tried excelsior and it was pretty cool.  the ease of windows programming through java.  the problem was the size.  A simple hello word window was ~9-10MB because you would have to include these .dll for the different main java parts whether or not you actually used them. aaron
