So to summarize you have 2 options:
option 1: a launcher
- JEXECreator is a launcher
- Launch4j is a launcher
- you can make your own launcher
- in Windows a jar file can be associated so that is runs the program
on doubleclick
option 2: compile to native code:
- GNU Java Compiler (GCJ) compiles to native code
the first googled link, and posted in a swing forum?
GCJ: The GNU Compiler for Java - GNU Project - Free Software ...
The GNU Compiler for Java - compiles Java source or bytecode to native machine code. Most APIs are supported, except the AWT and Swing. [Open Source, GPL]
