Create an executable JAR file:

An exe that supports Linux? Wine, maybe?Just make it into an executable jar. Don't waste time trying to coax a native binary out of it, it's almost always not worth the effort

Linux will not execute .exe files unless you use the package Windows Emulator, commonly known as WINE. However, compile your files to a jar file which is a cross platform form of Java executables.
