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

[cjard]

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.

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

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

I think you should be looking at OBFUSCATION, not compilation
