I have never seen a software be released as jar, so how can I make a software be released as exe too?

Question

Is everybody thinking that everybody else doesn\'t release softwares as jar and then releases softwares as exe too?

Answer 1

Another alternative is install4j,

a powerful multi-platform Java installer builder that generates native installers and application launchers for Java applications.

I have downloaded and installed an application which used it and it worked fine. However, its price may deter individuals or small companies trying to deploy a smallish Java application.
