How to Compile Java Programs into EXEs
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 21 сен 2024
- Here's how to take your Java programs and convert them into fully self-contained EXEs. You make a single file, the user double-clicks it, and the program just runs. The user does not need Java, and they don't need to install anything.
The process involves four steps:
1. With Eclipse, export your Java program as a "Runnable JAR File."
2. With Launch4J, wrap that JAR file as an EXE.
3. With 7-ZIP, bundle the JRE with that EXE.
4. With 7-ZIP SFX Maker, turn that into a self-extracting EXE that automatically runs your Java program.
The resulting file is a completely self-contained program.
If your users already have Java installed, you can skip the last two steps and just use the EXE from Launch4J.
2024 and this still works. Thank you.
Great work! I love the fact that you take people like myself, who are new to coding, into account and help us through the process. Love to see it :)
You are unbelievably awesome. I'm going through every single bit of you videos and they r full of surprising info
This tutorial was exactly was I was looking for... And it just worked. Very easy to understand. Thank you.
The fact that you have to go through all of this to get an executable program for a client is why Java never caught on big time.
Great tutorial! I like how you explained every part of the way, making it easier for the viewers to understand. Thanks a lot.
Thank you. Best tutorial. You even showed us your mistakes which is useful in case we ran into the same issues.
These videos are so helpful! Thanks for the help!
What a cool app that you build!
This is very helpfull! As usual, great video!
Exactly what I was looking for! Great video for us noobs!
Nice! One question, is this a good practice? Iv'e been seeing some stuff about native bulds, using CMD , some other stuff about jpackager, and jlink (none i have a clue about).
So helpful and great video. Thank you
Can't get it to work. 7zip maker way. Pop up says the system cannot find the file specified. It doesn't like the exe. If I zip maker without exe it will recognize the location and open the 7z file as a folder containing jre and telemetry but if I exe the extension it can't locate. Not really sure how to fix the problem on windows. Awesome looking program tho!! Might have to fire up the old laptop just to play with it
Did you "run as administrator"? I got the same pop up and i found out i was not running the 7zip maker as administrator.
Jar file doesn't show any images in project
Thank you.
Thanks for this video man
Thanks for the tips! One question, how can I change the program's icon?
Great work, your video is remarkable.
I applied your method step by step :
- JAR file creation in Eclipse : no problem ;
- Creation of an .exe file with Launch4j : no problem ;
- Creation of a compressed file (.exe + jre) : no problem ;
- Creating a SETUP with 7-Zip SFX Maker: no problem
- Test SETUP: Does not work, message: 7-Zip Unsupported method !
This is really unfortunate, can you help me because I have done various consultations without finding a solution to this problem. For your information, this report was already made on the 7-Zip SFX Maker website, without any answer!
Thank you for your help.
Great ! I love you bro

Help,Jar file runs but exe made with launch4j doesn't run,it says an error occured while starting the aplication
Great work: I stil have a problem when I try to run the .exe file the cursor shows only the loading blinking icon what can be my problem
I bundled my files from visual studio code using JAR BUNDLE
Heey It did run but I have three jframes in my project, the main one having buttons to open the other 2. The exe file created only runs the main jframe but the buttons don't open the other jframes 😢
Instead of using launch4j, you could use the junk instruction in my language. A version where you can do that is coming soon. The pnfasm code would look like this:
VERSION TVOID 1
JRUN TSTRING ""
QUIT TNUMBER 0V
END TVOID 0V
Assemble with pnfasm, run pnf2cpp, compile with c++ compiler and pretty much, away you go with your java wrapper.
Not junk, oops! Is JRUN.
Of course, you should probably check at least if JRUN is a supported instruction or not. Im possibly inspired to make videos teaching my language(s).
Cheers to you
22:32 is it possible to run the extraction in the background in other words hidden?
if you have time could you also make a tutorial on how to run jar files on android mobile phones.
I'm pretty sure that is not possible. Android does not use a conventional JVM. Regarding your other comment, there's a setting in the SFX tool to hide the extraction progress window.
Okey thanks, in the meanwhile i found out to make programs in Android studio for mobile phones. :) :) Sometimes the solution is simpler than i can think of. :)
This does not seem to use the JDK that is in the archive.
Can you show me how to integrate the data to real time clock from computer?
How change icon setup? thanks
Wouldn't this be detected as a false-positive virus, since it writes an unknown application on the temp folder?
I've never had that problem. Self-expanding archives are extremely common -- that's how most installers work.
Do I follow the same steps for a command line java program? I've not yet graduated to GUI programs.
I have not tried it, but it should work the same.
Can you do that again with an IDE that does not use Java?
Hello
Sir, I made an app using
java swing +mysql
How can I convert this code with its mysql database into an application that I can install on my desktop or on any other computer?
Thanks
same question .. did u get the solution??

No
@@muhammadsalem9924have you find a solution for this?
Nowadays he would have used Python
Python is a very useful as a scripting language, but has too many drawbacks to be viable for full-featured programs. The two languages serve different purposes.
