Answer 1

Personally, I like JSmooth. That is just wrapping. This means it is still a Java application. When executing the exe, it will unpack the jar to a temporary folder and then execute it with javaw -jar ...

A second option is gcj. But that is absolutely a bad choice. That doesn't wrap the jar in an exe, but it really compiles it to native system code. But this slows down your application very much. You can check some results of my timing on this topic.
