JBuilder 9 - compile to exe

Has anyone used JBuilder 9 to compile to a "stand-alone native executable"? We are considering JBuilder 9, and this would be useful in some small utility projects. I'm just wondering if it works like the marketing propaganda says it does.
Does it really compile to a single (no dll's) executable? DLL's would be ok, but then we would have to have an installation tool to get it into a single-file-download from a web page.
Does the user require a JRE or any other requirements? If this is required, then I'm not sure why you would want to compile to native code.
Thanks in advance.

I am sure you know about the possibility of building an executable file which still needs a JRE.
You can find it at the Wizards Tab --> Native Executable Wizard (or something like that).
Not sure if it is in the 9pe but in the 8se it is included

Command line compiler (rhcl.exe) adds on rogue full pathways into [Merge Files] of .hhp

I'm using RH 9 and generating chm outputs on my Win 7 64-bit computer.
I have a core chm help file and several sub chm helps that get merged into it.
I have a batch file that regularly compiles our help files locally and then copies them into a common local directory. It then copies them up to a mapped network drive where they are picked up by the nightly build of our installer.
The problem I have, is that the command line compiler (rhcl.exe) is adding on a full pathway for all the sub helps listed in the [Merge Files] section of the core help's .hhp file, causing these problems:
1) First of all, the pathways are wrong. The pathway it puts on is from the location of my .xpj file of my core help project. The output directory for the compiler is actually sending all the helps to a different local directory.
2) These need to be relative, and should not have full pathways. The full pathways make it so that when I click on a subhelp TOC entry that subhelp's topic opens up in an entirely different window instead of merged into the core help's window. (See #13 on Peter's helpful site here about the problem with absolute paths: http://www.grainge.org/pages/authoring/rh9/using_rh9.htm)
Here' what I want it to look like (the good):
[MERGE FILES]
pcdmisportable.chm
pcdmistutor.chm
pcdmisvision.chm
pcdmislaser.chm
pcdmiscmm.chm
pcdmisUJB.chm
pcdbasic.chm
toolkitmodulesvwmp.chm
pcdmisdci.chm
toolkitmodules.chm
pcdmisnc.chm
pcdmisip.chm
toolkitmodulesblade.chm
pcdmisregistry.chm
pcdmisfixturing.chm
Here's what it looked like after the command line compile (the bad and the ugly):
[MERGE FILES]
d:\hg\pcdmisqa\pcdlrn\help\corehelp\pcdmisportable.chm
d:\hg\pcdmisqa\pcdlrn\help\corehelp\pcdmistutor.chm
d:\hg\pcdmisqa\pcdlrn\help\corehelp\pcdmisvision.chm

d:\hg\pcdmisqa\pcdlrn\help\corehelp\pcdmisregistry.chm
d:\hg\pcdmisqa\pcdlrn\help\corehelp\pcdmisfixturing.chm
I've done the following ....
I've checked my .xpj file and they have relative paths only.
I've deleted my .cpd file.
I've removed chm references from my rhbag.apj.
... and the hhp file still gets modified with pathways to my core project
directory tacked on:
It's strange; because if I compile without the command line, by opening the project and running the generation inside of RH, I don't get the problem where it re-writes the [Merge Files] section with the pathnames.
Any ideas on where are these rogue full pathways coming from and how I can fix it? Or is it just a bug with the command line version of the compiler that Adobe will need to fix?

I don't use command line generation but to the best of my knowledge, this has not been fixed.

IOS improved packaging SDK is missing compile-abc.exe error

I am trying to test out the new and improved iOS packaging on my Windows machine and I am having some trouble getting it to work. I am using AIR 4.0.1170 for Flex developers and as the announcement says, added "-useLegacyAOT no" to my packaging options in FB. I believe it is in the correct spot because moving it to other places in the packaging options gives me syntax errors and when I do "-useLegacyAOT yes", it packages just fine, but takes a really long time. I keep getting the following error:
SDK is missing file C:\{my 4.0 sdk path}/lib/aot/bin/compile-abc/compile-abc.exe
Sure enough, navigating to that path shows compile-abc does not exist. Any ideas of what I may be doing wrong?

Compile-abc.exe is not a valid win32 application

I'm trying to use
-useLegacyAOT no
in the adt command line and I get an error:
compile-abc.exe is not a valid Win32 application

I am experiencing the same problem, I am using:
AIR SDK 15 release version (v. 15.0.0.249)
Windows XP Home Edition Service Pack 2
Since in AIR 15 the faster iOS compiler is the default I am not using the -useLegacyAOT argument.
The full command line is:

Here's a screenshot of the error message:

I also submitted a bug report for it, in case anybody wants to vote for it, its number is 3821809:

Y not compile to .exe ?

Hi Friends,
Why can't we go for a compiler which generates .exe instead of .class files ?
Let the code be platform dependent, but if we know that our application is gonna run on a given OS & given hardware configuration, can't we generate a .exe specific to that configuration so that the application can be optimised in speed and performance ?
For this to work out we need configuration-specific jvms and built-in jar files.
And finally is java slower than C++ by any chance ?
Thanks a lot

Why can't we go for a compiler which generates .exe
instead of .class files ?You can, you just need another program which does it.
Java has other ways of packaging applications e.g. Jar and JWS which are platform indpendant.
Let the code be platform dependent, but if we know
that our application is gonna run on a given OS &
given hardware configuration, can't we generate a
.exe specific to that configuration so that the
application can be optimised in speed and performance ?The JVM compiles the code to the platform at run time. What you suggest can make install simpler, but does not provide performance improvements. In fact it can mean you cannot use performance improvements provided by a JVM produced after you build you .exe.
And finally is java slower than C++ by any chance ?Can be. For CPU bound applications C++ tends to be much faster. For most real world applications I would suggest it is possible to deliver a Java application faster than the same application in C++.
For a limited total budget for a project, Java can be faster. i.e. you can spend more money on the hardware for the money you save in developing the application.
This depends on the applications requirements of course!

Trouble when Labview call CVI DLL in after compiled to EXE

Hi,
I m developing a program by LabVIEW, and have to call a DLL, which developed by using CVI.
The UI of the DLL consist of a table and a listbox.
The DLL run smoothly but when I compiled the project to EXE, when the program call the DLL, the DLL won't show properly.
The DLL UI only show the table, and the listbox has "disappeared".
Any common known-problem caused it ? Please advise. Thanks a lot.

Hi Engwei,
I'm not familiar with any such issue. Would it be possible for you to post the corresponding CVI and LabVIEW codes and the built DLL and executable? I would like to investigate this issue further. Also, what version of CVI and LabVIEW are you using?
Thanks!

Compiling into exe, is it possible???

Hello people. I am new to java-tech and I was wondering if there is any way that i can compile into an exe instead of a .class file and launch my programs through the OS and not VM.

Hello people. I am new to java-tech and I was
wondering if there is any way that i can compile into
an exe instead of a .class file
Sure, check out the GNU Compiler Collection or the commercial compilers.
If your app has a GUI... Tough luck.
and launch my programs
through the OS and not VM.There are ways to make launching through VM very transparent to the user, mind you.
On unix systems the ultimate transparency can be achieved with binfmt. web start, executable jars, custom launchers, etc come close enough elsewhere.

Can compile, javaw.exe crashes on run

I am running Windows XP on a Dell Inspiron 9300, and whenever I try to run a java application, javaw.exe has to close and I get all the windows warnings.
I am able to compile programs without any problem, but whenever I try to run, my computer freezes up for a few minutes, and then I get the close message again. Anyone know what I could do to fix this? I can give more information if necessary as well.

The more detailed information, commands used, results, error messages, code that's involved, etc that you provide the more likely that someone here can provide assistance. Nothing can be done with the information provided so far.
When you post, use formatting tags around code http://forum.java.sun.com/features.jsp#Formatting
and cut 'n paste instead of retyping.

Compile to exe

i know that compiling java to native machine code is not in line with the write once, run all over the place philosophy, however, i like to play. has anyone done this? i've looked into GNU gcj, but the installation is too complex. is there an EASY way? does sun have a native code compiler? will they ever? of course we, as java developers, would realize that this compiler should be used for informational purposes only.

I don't think Sun does, but you should try searching the forums. Your search will probably return well over 1000 relevant results, as this is a very frequently asked question.

Compile to exe instead of class

so, if you want to make exe use a real languages.
is that it? means java is only for web.. usless outside web??...

Furthermore, JAVA IS NOT ONLY FOR THE WEB...eat, sleep and awake to what I'm telling you every day!! One of the virtues of Java is that it can be used for either the web or stand alone applications. If you have an applet coded up, then it's not to hard to transform it to an application and vice versa. The only difference between applets and applications is the containers they run in (e.g., applets run in browsers and applications run in windows).
When I first got into CS, Java was the first language I had to learn to program in, while simultaneously hearing about how more powerful C++ was. I'm now a senior at Virginia Tech, which C++ is their core language for their curriculum, and can tell you that Java is always my option when coding up personal projects. Why...because I can use one language for applets, applications, CGI scripting, server side programming, database access and so on, as well as running on multiple platforms without recoding.
POINT: If you are going to learn just one language, make sure it's Java!

JBuilder 9 compiler problem

Not sure where this topic would go so I'll put it here. I just installed JBuilder9 Enterprise Edition and opened a project I knew compiled and worked but the following error comes up in the lower left frame (the structure view frame) when I open the file:
Fatal Error: Unable to locate package java.lang in classpath or bootclasspath at line 0 (0:0)
I set the JDK path the same way I set it when I used JBuilder8 and it worked fine. Any ideas? Thanks.

you have to check your projects paths, may be any still reference to JBuilder8 directory. ;)

How to get jbuilder to compile

hi guys
my problem is that when i import a package jbuilder cant find them, for example when i import java.awt. it cant find it. if anybody familier with j builder please tell me
thanks

Have you added the jars to the library and your build properties?
In my version of JBuilder which is old (5) go to "Project" then "Project Properties". Then in the "Paths" tab, choose the "Required Libraries" tab. You must add the libraries you need. If you haven't created any libraries then click New and complete the wizard. You can also access the libraries (which can be shared among projects) from "Tools" then "Configure Libraries".
Hope this helps.

XCode Java project - can you compile both a Mac .app and a Windows .exe?

I'm working on a project for my computer science class, and it has to be done in Java. I'd like to be able to build a .app for the Mac and a .exe for Windows, and ideally I'd like to do it straight from within XCode. Is it somehow (at all) possible to configure a target to compile a .exe, or is there an easy way to export an XCode project so it can be easily opened on some Windows application and compiled into a .exe? (note: I am TOTALLY clueless about .exe files and how they're compiled!)

In theory, you can simple stuff everything into a JAR file, and run that
directly on the Windows box. The user simply double-clicks the JAR
file. But it is better, for various reasons, to hide the JAR file inside an
EXE. There are several packages that will do that for you. I think that
"Launch4J" is a good choice. It is free, and well supported.
Here is a good survey article, with links to many of the choices.
