How Do I Make My Java GUI Stuff Executable (like desktop shortcut) by logicalhumour: 11:08am On Aug 05, 2016
What I mean is, I, for example, create a nice GUI stuff, how can I then have it as a desktop app which can be executed directly.

Secondly, if I transfer the app to another PC which doesn't have jdk installed, would it run? (or how can I convert java code to a native code )

Netbean will create the exe file for you. Look at the bottom you will see the directory . You can also use any install creator. Make sure jdk is install correctly.

If I download netbeans and use, will it work on another system if transferred?

We have installer software like install creator to install you software on different PC.

There are many online just google it. All the software on your PC like chrome was install using an installer not the exe extension.

When netbean automatically generate the jar file u will put it in install creator .i recommend you watch Tutorial on how to do that on YouTube.

Yes make sure you install windows builder and MySQL on eclipse for the purpose of database .
Eclipse is good you just need to configure it.

Go to help new software and put the path of MySQL and Windows builder . There are many videos on how to do that on eclipse.

Like I said all your application on your PC was install via an installer not the exe file.

You would need to bundle your application with the java runtime and an application launcher which would be an executable(.exe). The final size of your application would be huge however. If you know the libraries your jar uses from the java runtime, you may be able to exclude some libraries and hence reduce the size of your final bundle. Their are some applications that do this already for you. Best you search online for them.
