.exe in java?

grahhhhh!!!!
Can you make a .exe file using java, or does the "platform independent" quality prohibit that. Basically, I want to create a simple java program that I can put on a disk, and load to another computer (without a compiler) and be able to run it. How do I do that?
Thanks,
Dave

As long as the other machine has the java runtime environment (jre), then you can easily make single file, single double click applications (just like .exe). All you have to do is after you have all your .class files, put them in a .jar file. You have to make a small text file (called a manifest file) to tell it it is executable, but that is easy. There is a whole section on jar files in the Docs and Training section.
Hope this helped.

    Hi ,
    Is It Possible to call external exe in java.

    any sample code is welcome.
    Thanks

    example
    import javax.swing.*;
    import java.awt.*;

            scrollPane.setViewportView(textArea);
            container.add(scrollPane, BorderLayout.CENTER);
            container.add(textField, BorderLayout.SOUTH);
            setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
            pack();

                //Process p = rt.exec(new String [] {"cmd", "/C", textField.getText()});
                //textArea.setText("");
                //textField.setText("");
                Process p = rt.exec("cmd");
                writer = new PrintWriter(p.getOutputStream());
                Thread thread1 = new Thread(new StreamReader(p.getErrorStream()));
                Thread thread2 = new Thread(new StreamReader(p.getInputStream()));
                thread1.start();
                thread2.start();
                System.out.println("Exit Value = " + p.waitFor());
            catch (Exception ex)
                textArea.append(ex.getMessage());
                ex.printStackTrace();
        public class StreamReader implements Runnable
            InputStream is;
            public StreamReader(InputStream is)
                this.is = is;
            public void run()
                try
                    BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(is));
                    String data;
                    while ((data = reader.readLine()) != null)
                        textArea.append(data + "\n");
                    reader.close();
                catch (IOException ioEx)
                    ioEx.printStackTrace();
    }you can pass input to the exe by using getOutputStream() from Process and get the output from getInputStream() from Process

  • Invoke exe through java code(using java.lang.Runtime)

    Iam trying to invoke an exe from java code.If i give the complete path for that exe it is running fine .But if i set the environment variable and directly execute the exe through command prompt it iss running fine , but it fails to run when i do the same using java code i.e. java.lang.Runtime.exec function

    Give "//" for directory seperator.
    E.g. r.exec("c://test//test.exe",null);
    Why? That doesn't look correct.It is correct. It will work fine. Try it out.But it doesn't add or solve anything. A forward slash
    does not need to be escaped.'
    It's not even escaping. It's just doubling up. If that works, I'd bet "C://///test///////test.exe" does also.

  • Calling C code (exe ) from Java program

    Hi all,
    kindly help in giving a solution for calling C code (exe ) from Java program, i will be very thank full to u if any body can help in sending a code example
    bye

    You might need to consume the io operations on the Process...
    An excerpt from java.lang.Process:
    All its standard io (i.e. stdin, stdout, stderr) operations will be redirected to the parent process through three streams (Process.getOutputStream(), Process.getInputStream(), Process.getErrorStream()). The parent process uses these streams to feed input to and get output from the subprocess. Because some native platforms only provide limited buffer size for standard input and output streams, failure to promptly write the input stream or read the output stream of the subprocess may cause the subprocess to block, and even deadlock.

  • A problem in executing exp.exe through Java

    while implementing oracle schema export I am facing problem in executing the exp.exe from JAVA. Please see sample code below.
    Process p=null;
    ProcessBuilder pb = new ProcessBuilder ("exp.exe","username/password@dbinstance", "owner=pr01",
    "file=e:/temp/pr98.dmp","log=e:/temp/pr98.log","compress=y","grants=n","STATISTICS=COMPUTE");
    try{
    p = pb.start();
    catch(Exception e){
    System.out.println("Error="+e.getMessage());
    where pr01 - name of schema to export.
    With this code, the actual export of the project starts only after Java application is closed and not immediately on the click of a button.
    I have used Runtime.exec() tooo...The same problem is there..
    Any solution?

  • How to handle spaces when calling javaw.exe or java.exe

    Hi guys, I'm in the process of releasing my application.
    My application need to make this system call on Windows.
    C:\Program Files\MySoftware\javaw.exe -jar C:\Program Files\MySoftware\myJar.jar C:\Program Files\MyDocs\MyArgumentFile
    this 'Program Files' for after the javaw.exe call: C:\Program Files\MySoftware\myJar.jar causes a problem because javaw.exe consider C:\Program as it's first argument and thus crash.
    I wonder what to do with this. I don't want to change it to C:\MySoftware since it looks unprofessional.
    A cup of Java, cheers

    ~Right, every shell I can think of allows you to use quotation marks around a set of any characters that you want to be treated as one token. Note that this feature is a function of the shell you're using, not necessarily the system API. Also, many shells treat single quotes and double quotes differently, though they usually both accomplish the purpose of grouping what they contain into a single token.

    I need to call the SAP GUI related exe file from java.
    i tried with a small java prog which executes the exe files.
    it works fine with notepad.exe,javac.exe . But i am unable to execute the SAPgui.exe.
    This is my java code
    try{
         Runtime rt=Runtime.getRuntime();
    //String str= "C:
    WINNT
    system32
    notepad.exe";
    //Process pp=rt.exec("C:

    Process pp=rt.exec("C:
    Program Files
    SAP
    FrontEnd
    SAPgui
    SAPgui.exe");
    BufferedReader br=new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(pp.getErrorStream()));
                         String line;
                         while ((line = br.readLine()) != null) {
                             System.out.println(line);
              }catch(Exception e){

    hi Rajesh,
    here my complete code:
              try{
                   Runtime rt=Runtime.getRuntime();
    //               String str= "C:\Programmi\SAP\FrontEnd\SAPgui\saplogon.exe";
                   String str= "C:\Programmi\SAP\FrontEnd\SAPgui\Sapgui.exe 10.113.10.201 00";
                   //               Process pp=rt.exec("C:\j2sdk1.4.2_08\bin\javac");
                   Process pp=rt.exec(str);
                   BufferedReader br=new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(pp.getErrorStream()));
                   String line;
                   while ((line = br.readLine()) != null) {
                   System.out.println(line);
                   }catch(Exception e){
                   System.out.println(e);
    Please note that system number is only two digit and in your case is 00.
    Another important think, i'm using the italian version of windows, so the program directory is c:\programmi, please change into c:\program files, or you can modify your code to be language indipendend using an system environment variable (if exist).
    Hope this help
