JEXECreator overview

Create native Windows .EXEs for Java applications!

JEXECreator simplifies deploying software written in Java^™ to client or server platforms. It makes it easy to create native 32-bit Windows executables (native launchers) for invoking applications written in the Java^™ programming language.

The native launcher finds a suitable Java^™ Runtime Environment and starts the Java application using the found JRE.

If there is not a suitable JRE, a message dialog with information on where and how to obtain a JRE is displayed.

If the Java application throws an exception, the launcher displays the message in a dialog box and includes detailed error information.

No more .BAT or .CMD batch files. No need for a user to set a class-path. No more unwanted console windows.

JEXECreator is the perfect Java^™ development solution for distributing and launching applications in any size organization.

Benefits.

• Easily launch applications by even the most novice users;
• Java applications can make use of file type association;
• Java applications are viewed as native Windows programs;
• Create Windows shortcuts for Java applications in the Start menu or on the desktop;
• Use the icon (.ico) of your choice or design;
• Execute Java applications with any current directory;
• Better system integration for Java console applications;

Java Runtime Environment auto-detection.

The current version of JEXECreator supports both the Sun Java^™ and Java^™2, and the Microsoft^® Java^™ VM Runtime Environments.

One or both of them can be targeted during the creation of an executable. A minimum required JRE version may also be set. If there is not a suitable runtime on the client computer, simple, easy to follow instructions are displayed.

Errors handling.

If an errors occurs during the execution of the application, detailed information is shown to help determine the problem.

Messages, customization and localization.

JEXECreator allows developer to use custom messages and URLs in all dialog messages.

Moreover, the developer can use several UNICODE message bundles in different languages while creating the native launcher. The native launcher will use the language for client's Windows locale.

Class path environment.

Native launchers, created with JEXECreator, easily solve the problem of relative and absolute paths.
