Is there any way that I can create .exe from class file using Netbeans? (I know some tools exist. But is there any option in Netbeans ? )
Now to actually address your question...
I don't know of any feature in NetBeans that allows you to create a .exe file. But then again, I don't know why you would want to, either, because .exe files only run in Windows. In my opinion a better solution is to make an executable JAR file instead. Executable JARs can run on any platform that has a JRE installed. In fact, if you are using NetBeans 4.0, it creates such a JAR for you in the dist folder of your project. If you want to run your program on a friend's computer, you just have to transfer this JAR file with your favorite medium (email, floppy disk, USB key, etc.).
If you want to learn how to create a executable JAR without NetBeans, I suggest that you google for "executable JAR".
