You don't need a JDK to run a java .exe file. However, you do need the JRE( Java Runtime Environment ).

[Cindy Glass]

I think that he is asking if you can make a fully compiled version (no longer needs interpreting) of the source so that you do not NEED the JRE.
Yes, there are compilers out there, but you have to compile to a specific operating system, so you loose the major benefit of java right off the bat.
I am not personally familiar with any of them.

I have never come accross anyone who has actually decided to use any of the "exe compilers". They all seem to come with the same disk space cost and no performance advantage.

Yes i need a self executable application with no jdk or jre
and the goal is just to learn how to do it.
maybe there are no advantages but it will be independant bu itself.
Cindy says that we have to make .bat file and a class to invoke it in the class.
any advice???
thx.

I think that this does not serve any objectives of the exam!
