Is there any method in Java application to distribute application as exe instead jar

[d0153030]

Hello

I just want to know that is there any method in java such that we can distribute our java application as exe instead of jar.

My purpose of asking this Question is that as everybody knows that from jar java files can be easily retrieved but not the case to retrieve the c or c++ code from exe developed by compilers like VC++

just if you do know kindly reply with suggestions and answers

There are a couple, look into GCJ and Excelsior Jet.
However, note that a determined person can still reverse engineer and decompile a C/C++ if they wanted to.

There is no point in doing so; you merely irritate linux users.

I think you should be looking at OBFUSCATION, not compilation
