New to java, plz help

Question

Well I'm not that new. I've been working with java for two years using jcreator in school. Its been great, we make lots of programs and run em and stuff. But the one thing we didn't learn is how to distribute the programs to other people. For instance, if I make a program to help with math homework......and I wanna give that to my friend........i'd hafta send em the source files and they'd hafta open it up in jcreator and run it........that seems kinda not good........how do u make it into an actual thing that I can click on and it runs like any normal program (exe?)

Answer 1

yea, heres a lot of code that calculates the Flesch readability of a piece of writing.
