how to deploy jar to non-java platform
Hi,
I am using netbeans 5.5 to develop some GUI application.
I need to deploy it to some machine that may not have jdk installed at all. i.e can someone run my application w/o install jdk or jre specifically?
I have myapp.jar built in dist/ folder. the readme said it will include all jar to dist\lib, but I don't even see the dist\lib folder.
please help!!!

By definition, a JRE needs to be present to run a Java application. Someone will eventually suggest compiling to native code to do this, but then, by definition, it's no longer a Java application, and not portable

With a lot of effort, and I'm not sure it would actually be legal anyway. Just get 'em to install a JRE, it's not like it's difficult, no more so than installing any other program
