Generating a Pre-Compiled Application

Hi,

I created a JAVA program that draws on pre-existing .jar files (JFreeChart/JCommon/SharkySoft printf, etc.) in its classpath. I have been using Eclipse to edit the program, and set the classpath to take these .jars into account. The program is complete and I would like to create some sort of a pre-compiled file/application that is will allow a user entirely unfamiliar with programming to transfer it between computers, double-click on it just to run the program, and not worry about any external files/having an IDE whatsoever.

It is not necessary that they be able to edit the program at all. I'm thinking of general applications that come with any PC or Mac. Any suggestions of how to generate such an export in Eclipse?

Thank you in advance for your help!

I'm not sure what you mean exactly, but have you tried .jnlp files? I know it's mainly for web, but it runs just like an .exe or .jpg on my windows machine.

In a sense that it just opens without any extracting or stuff like that. I've been using Kubuntu recently and a lot of the time I've had to do a lot of opening through the command prompt with confusing messages to get it to open. ;)

Executable JARs. Check them out.
